6:40 pm
boom. that was close. >> reporter: stopping not so easy. then we took it up to 25 mph and hit the brakes. whoa. on both runs the cone wasn't harmed but we increased speed to 30, not a safe speed for any school crosswalk. watch what happens when i try to stop in time. whoa. that's not a good stopping time. >> no. >> reporter: our cone wound up under the car and i was a nervous wreck. that was scary. 30 miles an hour doesn't seem that fast when you're on the road but here, it felt like i was driving 80 and couldn't stop in time. >> i was surprised how nervous i felt coming up to the cones. people don't understand the difference between 25 miles an hour and 30 miles an hour is big and you're twice as likely to kill somebody. >> reporter: the results just as tragic when our assistant warned us to stop suddenly. in this test, the cone always
6:41 pm
bounced right back. >> i think it's really important to remember while we may hit a cone, we're talking about human beings. >> reporter: san francisco is working to reduce deaths but starts with undistracted driving. in san francisco, cornell bernard, abc 7 news. >> that is fascinating. >> reporter: absolutely. you hear a lot about students heading back to school but what about the teachers? >> april hawkins in daly city joined our building a better bay area facebook page and posted a video sharing why it's a great first week back. ♪ ♪ >> i decided to become a teacher because i had one class or a couple classes that inspired me. >> i teach because i love art and i want other people to love art as much as i do. >> easy. so i teach to influence teachers. >> preparing them with the tools that they need not just in the

here is a question. do you buy travel insurance? >> that's a good question with so many people traveling during the summer. more and more of us do but more than anywhere else. >> michael finney joins us with more. >> i hear from people all the time that want me to get their vacation back, all their vacation money back because they booked a trip, did not buy travel insurance and couldn't travel. i make exceptions but usually i say you knew better. i buy travel insurance because i know how much can go wrong and i am not alone. triple a reported last year it was selling 20% more travel insurance policies. and here in the bay area insure

6:47 pm
lanka and i had i renewed insurance a couple days before that. when i went to claim, they thought i was being frad fraudulent, which wasn't. >> a hassle for sure. buying travel insurance early gives protection before your departure date and usually doesn't cost more. it's like extra coverage for free. if you want to cancel for any reason, most policies require an early purchase. >> we recommend purchasing it as close to when you booked your trip as possible. >> most buyers choose policies for the cancellation coverage, makes sense but the out of country medical insurane can prove much more valuable although it is less likely to occur. that's why i buy it. >> a little money and a lot of peace of mind.
6:48 pm
>> definitely. thanks, michael. >> let's turn our attention to the -- you don't want to go anywhere. we have all this heat and it's cooling off. >> the 100s will turn to 80s and 90s tomorrow. yes, inland areas will get that break. they deserve today the coast and bay cooled off. fog is rolling back in as you see on live doppler 7 it will be with us tomorrow afternoon. temperatures continue to drop mid 60s to the low 90s so it will not be hot, it will be warm inland. the cooling spreads as we head into your sunday with breezier conditions and then those temperatures will slowly recover early next week. we bring back the heat but not the same intensity inland areas will be in the upper 90s to low 100s and bay and coast remain comfy. >> thanks, sandhya. let's take baseball. >> larry is here. >> i'll bring the same intensity. >> always. >> not the heat. the giants still long shots to make the playoffs but they may get a big boost down the stretch. could johnny come back from tommy john surgery?

good evening. the oakland a's won the 9,000th game in franchise history in record-breaking fashion. things may not be as excitig tonight against the astros. the a's and astros combined for ten home runs last night. most ever in a single game. in fact, it was just the fifth game since 1908 that four
6:52 pm
players had two or more homers. now weather is cooler tonight and you got justin verlander on the mound. don't expect bombs away again tonight. >> i haven't seen conditions in this place like last night here ever. now granted almost every one of the balls are homers but i think the confidence going into a game like that when you know it's really going to carry and nothing to hold the ball up, i have a tough time thinking we'll see those conditions again and i think one of the reasons as you saw last night was because of the conditions. i think the ball has a little bit something to do with it this year, as well. >> johnny kmade the third rehab appearance. giants coming off tommy john surgery 49 pitches and two and two-thirds innings. four hits overall struck out two. giants' manager said based on how he was throwing, he might, might be back with the big club for the stretch run in september. to the nfl jimmy garoppolo with five straight interceptions this

winning season last year carr had eight picks and the relationship seemed to be shaky but carr figured out the offenses. went ten straight games without a pick. carr spoke to es manpn about geg through tough times. >> as players, it's our job no matter what to show up and perform. i guess what got me through it was i was able to play some of my best football i ever played. i think coach gruden continued to tell me don't worry about anything they say about me. don't worry about anything they say about you. i just want you to come out here and continue to get better in this offense and grow. he told me you're a rookie again. i don't care what happened here before. playoffs, not playoffs. i i don i don't care. this is year one. the fedex cup playoffs continue. the championship tiger woods needs to finish 11th or better if he wants to advance to next week's tour championship. he'll need a miracle weekend

with shots like that. finished 171, 200 for the tournament and six back of the players in the 1 1th place. look at this putt here. nine under 63. vaulting him up 24 positions. the break on 17 for birdie. he's 12 under and leads by a stroke. when i first saw that shot, i thought i was watching steph curry's holy moly. >> join us for abc 7 news tonight at 11:00. dozens of artists lost everything in this fire. meet one man rebuilding with the help of the community. >> i'm amanda deat that story is at 11:00. finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters. this week's attack on a woman trying to get into her building in san francisco by a homeless man police say is drawing strong reaction. you saw the video as she and a

security guard fought him off. it's the incident that's troubling and for a lot of people in the bay area, as terrifying as it is frightening and infuriating. this encounter with a homeless person may have been worse than most but as the number of homeless rises, so does the number of unwelcome encounters. last night as ama and i were leaving work some poor guy crossed the street in front of our cars with his pants in front of his ankles. two nights before that some guy was in the street kicking a skate board into cars along the embarcade embarcadero. he got the driver in front of me and hit my car. we must be compassionate in our search to build a better bay yar by solving this homeless problem as quickly as we can. what really matters is that the rights of the homeless do not out weigh the rights of everyone else to live safely in their own community. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think at dan ashley abc 7. >> all right. that will do it for this edition of abc 7 news.
