New Data Shows Where Breaking Traffic Laws Is Most Likely to Turn Deadly — New Mexico Tops the List

A new analysis has revealed the U.S. states where ignoring traffic laws carries the greatest risk of fatal consequences — and New Mexico ranks as the most dangerous by a striking margin. The study, conducted by the  Simmrin Law Group , examined five years of crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and scored each state on three high-risk behaviours: distracted driving, speeding, and dangerous intersection crashes. Each category was assigned a weighted score for a total possible 100-point “traffic violation fatality score.” The results show major geographic disparities — and highlight how certain types of risky behaviour are driving fatal crashes in different parts of the country. New Mexico: The Most Dangerous State for Traffic Law Violators New Mexico earned a troubling  87 out of 100 , the highest fatality-risk score in the nation.

Anyone else fed up with copyright claims from BViral?

BViral, the social video licensor and distributor, has made my life hell for the last couple years. I'm a social video editor for a large brand, and we license all of our content either from partners like ViralHog, Newsflare, Jukin Media, etc, or directly from a UGC creator.

It's normal to get an occasional copyright claim from a partner or creator on a Facebook video featuring footage we've licensed from them. Usually when this happens, we appeal the claim, it's lifted, and we communicate with the claimant about whitelisting our page since we're fairly licensing their content to use. We don't average more than 10 claims a month from a particular claimant.

BViral slaps copyright claims onto videos featuring any content they've also licensed, and the frequency is absurd. We receive dozens to over 100 claims per month from BViral, all of which we successfully appeal, and BViral refuses to consider whitelisting our page, let alone respond to our emails.

Their business practice strikes me as nothing but malicious, unlike anything I encounter with other brands in the social media industry. Their strategy seems to be to cast as wide a net as possible by applying copyright claims on any video that features footage they've licensed (sometimes non-exclusively, sometimes exclusively after we've obtained a license first), and to hope the barrage of claims will fatigue page managers so they can receive revenue sharing. Has anyone else been hampered with fighting off bogus claims from the wide net they're casting?
