The driver must remain alert and adjust his following distance according to the.

One of the consequences of the right turn on the red law is an increase of car/pedestrian and car/bicycle collisions. Motorists should know that they must stop first and only proceed with their right turn when the way is clear of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles.

2015 is proving to be one of the deadliest years for motorists in over 7 years. According to Ken Kolosh of the National Safety Council, “we’re not even into the more dangerous parts of the year.” Although not all of the contributing factors for this surge in car accident fatalities are known, it is generally attributed to greater numbers of motorists on the road.

When a 3,000 pound car and an 80,000 pound truck collide, the outcome is often grim. Some of these accidents could have been avoided had the driver in the car knew how to share the road with large trucks.

They’re just people who work hard to earn a living and desire to get the most from life. However, a car is a powerful machine that does everything it’s directed to do. It can just as easily get you to work on time as it can maim or kill someone. People don’t have a full appreciation of this or of the fact that.
