Multitasking is impossible for human beings. The human mind can only focus on one thinking task at a time. People who claim to be multitaskers don’t truly work on two tasks simultaneously.

When multitasking between driving and another task, the person is vulnerable to traffic changes that demand their immediate response. This vulnerability happens when their attention is directed away from driving, and during their recovery period when.

Ignorance of the law will not likely be an adequate defense when involved in a liability suit. That’s the reason for the saying that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” The illegality of some driving acts is apparent to most people such as violating the speed limit, running red lights, or passing a school bus while its lights are flashing.

A car that’s prone to catching on fire can be life-threatening, especially if it happens in a car crash that leaves you incapacitated. Understand that well maintained cars just about never catch on fire. Therefore, having your car checked on a regular basis and keeping up with the maintenance schedule recommended in the car’s owner’s manual should mostly eliminate the danger. In addition to this, keep an eye open for.

Driving on our nation’s highways can be dangerous. It is even more dangerous to stop on the side of the road. Most highways and interstates have breakdown lanes. They appear wide enough to accommodate most vehicles that would need to stop there. Pulling over into a breakdown lane seems safe enough. It is not. Some states allow drivers to drive in the breakdown lane during rush hour traffic to reduce congestion. This practice adds to the many dangers of being stopped in the breakdown lane. Vehicles still have difficulties on.

Most of us have done it on road trips involving more than one car. That is, following a friend in another car because you don’t have the directions. If you’ve ever followed a friend, you may have found yourself taking more risks than you normally do. However, you aren’t the only person with this tendency. Researchers at Arizona State University have verified this behavior in their test subjects. So what’s the explanation? The problem is a lack of coordination between the two cars. The lead car will often drive normally and assume the.

Pile-ups are among the worst types of accidents. They involve multiple cars, trucks, and possibly semi-trucks. Once it’s over, extracting victims from their vehicles will take longer than a simple one or two vehicle crash. This delay in their hospitalization can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why it’s best to never allow yourself to become involved in a pile-up accident. Here are four safety suggestions for avoiding them: Maintain a Three Second Following Distance When the vehicle in front passes by a sign, overpass, or shadow, count.

Thousands of vehicles travel on our country’s highways. Many of them are large trucks transporting many different types of cargo. Trucks provide a necessary service for us and we must share the road with tractor trailers at all hours of the day and night. We all must be aware of the dangers to remain safe on the road.

A brake failure shouldn’t occur if you get your brakes inspected on a regular basis and keep up with the car maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual. However, even these measures aren’t an ironclad guaranty. Perhaps someday while driving, your brakes will suddenly go soft. If the road ahead doesn’t have a stop light, stop sign, obstruction, or other reason for quickly stopping, then you’re in luck. That is, if you know how to stop your car without working brakes. If this should happen, you can avoid a car crash by.
