The dreaded stop sign, so elusive and mysterious. “I thought I stopped!” is the most common response when confronted with one of the most fundamental and straightforward parts of driving and a unfortunate cause of major accidents. A very frequent violation that continues to prove that many drivers are driving subconsciously, not thinking or aware of what’s in front of them. Many don’t even remember seeing a stop sign. Over time, it’s gets more and more dangerous as a stop is degraded to a roll and then much faster than that all while maintaining “I thought I stopped!” This really isn’t hard. #mindgames #stopsign #beverlyhills #police #oops @Beverly Hills Police Dept.

Sometimes showing up to work feels like a Transformers movie. Cars are rolled over and sometimes stacked like toys. It doesn't have to be this way. If you're not sure, don't go (and don't be rushed by the person honking behind you). Take the added time and go to the next light. @Beverly Hills Police Dept. One of the important functions of our motor unit at @bhpd_90210 is Accident Investigation. Managing a safe scene, calling in necessary resources and gathering information for a report is a part of every day for us, multiple times a day. One of the main causes of accidents (besides unsafe speed) we see very regularly is failing to yield. During a left turn (21801a VC) or crossing a large intersection (21802a VC) are very common. When it's time to go,, if you can't clearly and carefully clear every lane, then just go to the next light or make a right. Don't have to follow the GPS every time. It's not worth the risk. Drive safe. **Responded to a "TA TRAP" or a traffic accident with someone possibly trapped on Wilshire Blvd. Fortunately no one was trapped and there were no transports to the hospital and only a minor injury to one driver. Could have been much worse. #beverlyhills #police #accident #transformers #wilshire

Speeding is another form of “hurry up and wait” with traffic lights, stop signs and crosswalks literally everywhere. It’s tempting to speed when an open road presents itself only to have to stop a few seconds or minutes later, saving little, if any time. Not worth it. Public restrooms may not be the most comfortable option, but 24 over the speed limit is a dangerous alternative. Drive safe. #beverlyhills #police #speeding #ticket #sunsetblvd @Beverly Hills Police Dept.
