Many Oklahoma drivers may have been affected by the February 2014 General Motors recall due to a defective ignition switch. The company recalled 2.6 million cars although it was aware of the fault for about a decade prior to the recall. In that time, several people who were driving the faulty vehicles were convicted of charges like negligent homicide if they were involved in fatal accidents. When they reported that the cars had suddenly sped up or shut off on their own, their accounts were dismissed.

Delayed symptoms to watch out for after accidents
Oklahoma residents who have been involved in a car accident may not be immediately aware that they have been injured, especially when the injuries received are not readily visible. Right after an accident, a person is often in shock and may not notice symptoms. In some types of injuries, symptoms may also not show up for hours or even several days.
Drunk driving fatalities fall with rise of Uber
Oklahoma motorists may be interested to learn about a new study that demonstrates a correlation between Uber's entrance into a city's market and a drop in DUI fatality rates. A similar drop has not been demonstrated with private taxi companies.
