A 360 Degree Air Cushion For Traffic Highway Safety
So, how might one describe the five rules of the road that we presented a week ago?
Simple, UPS refers to their safe driving program like driving with a 360 degree air cushion. Folks, that starts with a 3-6 second following distance.
Now, picture every driver being required to drive with the same 360 degree air cushion. Think we would have 40,000 plus thousand and multiple millions injured on our roads every year?

No Accountability in Traffic Highway Safety!
Whom Do You Blame For What?
Talk about voter apathy! I'm here to tell you that your family’s #1 financial and health risk tomorrow and over the next year is when they climb into a car.
So, what do you know about traffic highway safety? What do you know about protecting your family from the other crazy drivers on the road?
For instance, do you even know how many traffic crashes occurred in your town last year? And, if they doubled from the previous year do you know whom to blame?
Again, do you know even the basics of this most common risk? Talk about no one being held accountable. Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

The Look & Feel Of Real Traffic Highway Safety
Ever Seen or Felt “Safe” Roads?
Now remember, the answer to this critical, traffic highway safety question says a lot about how you have prepared your family to avoid traffic accidents.
So, what does a safe road look and feel like?
Simple, “all” drivers are laid back, relaxed, and following our five rules of the road. There is no swearing as in today’s nasty road rage explosion; no one trying to cut you off as you merge; no one tailgating, no one speeding and dodging in and out of traffic.
RELAXED and no rage; do you get the picture?
Oh, yes a few other things: we have virtually no traffic crashes, need for auto insurance, intense parental worry about their teen's driving, fatalities or serious injuries to our loved ones.
Now, do you remember our five simple rules to safe driving? Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Stop Unsafe Driving For Real Traffic Highway Safety
Unsafe Driving Habits Learned On Our Safest Roads
Today as I drove home from work I took about a 20 mile route on the Interstate. This was just before, what we traffic engineers call, peak hour about 4:30. The road volume was building but the speeds still high.
Folks, I swear 90% of the drivers were traveling at 80 mph and on someone’s bumper. If the first car had stopped we would have surely had one of those 30-40 car pileups.
What can we learn from this. First, our interstates are statistically our safest roads. This is because such super highways are limed access--------- no intersections and no driveways.
Now here’s the dirty little secret: because these highways are so easy to drive (un-safely) you can develop some very unsafe driving habits, like aggressively following too close or tailgating.
If you want to see how this is killing tens of thousands and injuring millions very year: please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Traffic Highway Safety & Safe Drivers
Safe and Unsafe Drivers- The Difference
Last week we posted that the safe subsidized the auto insurance premiums for the unsafe drivers. Furthermore, this subsidy is what kept the unsafe driving with insurance because they could never afford what they should be paying.
Wow, how unsafe are these drivers?
The safest drivers in our society have on average a traffic accident every 66 years while the riskiest drivers have one every other year. Do you now see why the unsafe can't afford their own insurance without our help?
Then our job as the safest drivers is to get the unsafe transformed into safe drivers so that our roads will be safe for our families; and we no longer have to subsidize anyone’s auto insurance.
To learn how to make this great transformation, please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Traffic Highway Safety Ratings
Rating Your City’s or Teen’s Accident Avoidance Skills
Rating your teen’s driving skills is critical for the health of your teen and your nervous system.
For example, picture two sets of parents. One, knows,without a doubt, that their kid is an absolute highway safety fanatic. The other set of parents don’t know how safe or unsafe their kid drives.
Which set of parents do you think sleeps better on Friday nights while their kids are off with friends? More important which kid is more at risk on the road?
Now picture your police chief bragging to the community that his highway safety program just reduced traffic accidents last year by 7.5%? Do you have any idea what to ask that chief or how to confirm that your city is even remotely competent at providing safe roads?
Here’s the good news: once you know what a highway safety fanatic is; you can rate your kid’s driving, your kid’s teenage friends driving, and the entire city highway safety program.

Traffic Highway Safety Without the Subsidies
Safe Driver Apathy, A Killer On Today's Unfriendly Roads
What if you as a safe driver were really to blame for all the unsafe driving that we see on our unfriendly roads everyday?
Folks, unsafe drivers simply could not afford their own auto and liability insurance if they were not subsidized by safe drivers. Furthermore, if we ever get this straight we’ll do away with all the unsafe, aggressive driving; and also, away with the need for auto insurance.
That’s right, we safe drivers keep the unsafe on the roads. Think about that the next time you have to dodge that crazy drunk, teen, or otherwise aggressive driver. Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Judges For Traffic Highway Safety
MADD Judges For SADD’s Traffic Highway Safety
Ever wonder why we have so many crazy drivers? In the last posting we implied it was because of politics. Well, that’s a major part of it.
The other big time reason is that our nation’s traffic judges tend to enforce the laws they think work best ……………………………………. and, they don’t know squat about how to eliminate traffic crashes.
For instance, we all know most traffic tickets are for speeding. In fact, most would agree that this is good strategy. Ignorance is bliss.
I mean, do you know how long most all of our traffic enforcement has focused on speeders. Now, ask yourself, why is this?
Simple, the judges of the world want evidence that the law breaker busted a traffic law. They want hard core evidence with as little judgement as possible. More to the point, measuring speed is simple, reliable, and in short very good evidence from a machine.
Never mind that most speeding (i.e., above a posted speed limit) is not a good measure of a driver’s ability to avoid traffic crashes. Folks, if catching speeders were effective we would have eliminated traffic crashes decades ago. Again, stopping speeders; and an occasional promoting of “don’t drink and drive” campaigns is about all there is to our highway safety. In short, catching people driving 10 mph over an improperly posted speed limit doesn’t work, except to generate income for the police.
However, below is a strategy that does work: Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Traffic Highway Safety Doesn't Have Enough Votes
The Politics of Traffic Highway Safety
As stated in every other posting, the secret to eliminating traffic crashes is to make sure all drivers copycat our society’s safest drivers.
So, why can’t we make that happen?
Simple, there are too damn many unsafe drivers that vote; and they don’t see themselves as the problem. Politics, pure politics is why we can’t make our roads safe.

Which Traffic Laws For Traffic Highway Safety?
Enforce Right Traffic Laws For Real Traffic Highway Safety; Dah!
From the Radio Free Oklahoma Blog we get what’s wrong with today’s traffic law enforcement. Here the blog’s author introduces the concept of fraudulent citation writing (i.e., primarily for government revenue) by quoting Chad Dornsife:
“ Today, more than 90% of traffic violations issued; and the
majority of traffic stops, have no factual foundation from
A safety perspective.”
The point is; most enforcement is aimed at enforcing speed limits that are simply not designed to minimize traffic accidents. In fact, most of today’s speed limits are set via politics instead of based on sound traffic engineering principles (See Best Highway Safety Practices web site). In other words, speed limits are mostly lower than engineers want because “we the people” usually think lower is better.
“ Today, more than 90% of traffic violations issued; and the

The point is; most enforcement is aimed at enforcing speed limits that are simply not designed to minimize traffic accidents.

In other words, speed limits are mostly lower than engineers want because “we the people” usually think lower is better.
But there is some real negative here.
First, drivers become very cynical about safe driving laws because they know the police are enforcing laws, not for safety, but for income.
Second, and more important, enforcing the wrong speed limits does not minimize traffic accidents. We keep having 42,000 deaths and tens of millions of injuries on our roads every year.
So, what are the right traffic laws to enforce for effective traffic highway safety? Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

A SADD Traffic Highway Safety Fact
What’s Worse Than Dealing With A Single Government Bureaucracy?
The U.S. Post Office, FEMA, The FDA, The FED are all prime examples of abject government failures. For instance, when was the Post Office in the black and how about FEMA’s leadership following Katrina?
Now, here’s a shocker; these failures pale in comparison to the Highway Safety organization in your city and nation. The fractionalization is off the chart. I stopped counting at 22 the number of local, state, and Federal agencies that “share” in making our city’s roads safe.
It’s actually kind of pathetic, when accidents go down about 22 government bureaucrats take a bow; but when accidents increase not a word from anyone. Start counting the agencies in your town.
Just within our city limits, we have the city police, city traffic engineers, state D.O.T., the traffic courts, city council, State Legislature, U.S.Congress, the county highway patrol, the county traffic engineers. etc. etc.
Any real traffic highway safety improvements for MADD and SADD must address this lack of accountability and organizational complexity.
What, for instance, would be wrong with one person being given the responsibility for making our city’s streets safe then being held accountable? Folks, this is management 101 but completely absent in today’s highway safety.

SADD and MADD Need More Tickets Written
No One Is Watching
Today’s highway safety story of the day is titled, “ Trooper, I didn’t write enough tickets."
Claims he got fired for not writing tickets.
Here’s the shocker: The Highway Patrol defends the firing with their official statement on the incident, “ticket quotas violate FHP policy.”
Wow, why not quotas if drivers create most of the havoc on our roads. I mean why not write bunches more tickets ---------- but for the right offences. If the Highway patrol is worried about how such a policy looks to the voter just donate the fines to a good charity. That way no one could ever blame the cops for doing it for the money.
You see "not" writing bunches of tickets sends a signal to unsafe drivers. Simply stated, these criminals don’t think about ever getting caught driving like hoodlums because well, they mostly never get caught. After all the cops are evidently taught, you don’t have to write a bunch of tickets, your bosses are not expecting you to.
Folks, we need to change driver behavior if we are to make our streets safe. Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Highway Safety for MADD & SADD
When Highway Safety Is Not On Public Safety Agenda
(or a Mayor's mind)
Just read one of my Mayor’s primary propaganda pieces for the year. Titled, “Citizen’s Budget Report” not one word about his crackerjack Highway Safety program.
To illustrate how significant this is, consider that in the same piece he does brag about his war on crime. In fact, he does so every chance he gets. And rightfully so.
For instance, under the section titled, Public Safety, our cops make the incredible claim that they have reduced Part I crimes an astounding 50% since 2000.
Now here’s the pertinent question, do you think he would make the same boast if traffic accidents had been reduced the same 50%? Sure he would, the fact that he never mentions traffic safety shows how low on the priority it is.
Now, let’s not get on my mayor too much; this is the way it is all over the country. Real Highway safety is out of most everyone’s mind.
Again, in this 110% political bragging piece not a word about highway safety.
We need to make sure our politicians do better than this. Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Be Against Drunks and Unintended Subsidies
The MADD and SADD Subsidy :
It may surprise some but to the extent that MADD and SADD members are fanatical about their safe driving programs; they subsidize the unsafe driver that threatens us all every single day.
I mean don’t you ever have road rage at the SOB that tailgated you all the way to work this morning? More to the point haven’t you ever asked yourself; how is that guy allowed to drive?
Well, the more you learn about the politics of today’s highway safety; the more you’ll realize it is our disproportionately high auto insurance premium that keeps the unsafe driving our roads. You see, the really bad drivers could never afford to pay the premium their unsafe driving demands.
In other words, we safe drivers pay for those that refuse to drive safely so that we can then turn right around and dodge their every crazy move.

It may surprise some but to the extent that MADD and SADD members are fanatical about their safe driving programs; they subsidize the unsafe driver that threatens us all every single day.
I mean don’t you ever have road rage at the SOB that tailgated you all the way to work this morning? More to the point haven’t you ever asked yourself; how is that guy allowed to drive?
Well, the more you learn about the politics of today’s highway safety; the more you’ll realize it is our disproportionately high auto insurance premium that keeps the unsafe driving our roads. You see, the really bad drivers could never afford to pay the premium their unsafe driving demands.
In other words, we safe drivers pay for those that refuse to drive safely so that we can then turn right around and dodge their every crazy move.

Against Drunk Driving and other safe road tactics
Against Drunk Driving Is Only A Single Tactic:
Whether you’re MADD and focused on the “don’t drink and drive” mission or SADD and focused on teenage drinking don’t forget: drinking is not the only issue killing our friends and families on our roads.
Indeed, the don’t drive and drink motto is but one tactic in the grand strategy of making our roads safe.
The truth is aggressive, careless, distracted , and reckless driving by stone sober citizens is a far greater problem. But here’s the good news:
By solving the general problem and the sub-component problems also get solved. For instance, what if we actually had an effective driving law enforcement program that guaranteed that all drivers were almost overnight transformed into highway safety fanatics and more importantly changed their driving habits to mimic the safest drivers on the road?
No more road rage; aggressive, careless, or reckless driving; almost no accidents.
By the way our system of traffic law enforsement would catch drunks before their drinking killed and maimed on the roads.

No To Don't Drink and Other Against Drunk Programs
Don’t Drink and Other Against Drunk Campaigns:
Safe driving campaigns by SADD and MADD that focus against drunks may be missing the point.
I mean, precisely what is that we highway safety fanatics want?
Is it don’t drink and drive or is it: “don’t drink and drive unsafely?”
I know, I know all highway safety plans involve getting the drunks off the road. But we are different. We are focused on unsafe driving whether your drunked, drugged, or stone cold sober.
Our program catches your unsafe driving habits "before" you kill someone.
If you happen to have an alcohol or drug problem or you drive like a wild teen driver; we catch your unsafe driving habits ………………….. hopefully before you crash into some innocent party.

Hopefully, SADD and MADD Know More than Police
What is Aggressive Driving? Hopefully SADD and MADD Know.
Today’s Highway Safety Story of the Day (Link Below) is from the North Fort Myers Neighbor. Entitled, “Highway Patrol Releases Be Smart, Drive Smart,” the article proves that the base reason for all the deaths, injuries, and property damage on our Roads is because not even the enforcers have a clue.
For instance, the article is about the results of a recent highway safety initiative of the Florida Highway Patrol. Although the patrol thinks the initiative is about ticketing aggressive drivers almost none of the approximate 1200 tickets written was for aggressive driving (as we define it).
Folks, this is sad; more important again and again, it’s the reason we lose 42,000 and injure millions more on our roads every day.
If our roads are ever going to be safe, first and foremost we need our enforcers to ticket those creating the problems. Not happening now.
Find out why.

SADD and MADD; How to Analyze Highway Safety
Ten Highway Safety Questions For SADD and MADD
Continuing from our last posting, I took 5 minutes to analyze our city’s website in order to rate its highway safety program. Five minutes! Sadly, my city scored the lowest score possible. The reason: "too much politics in its highway safety." The citizens of my town are all traffic engineers with the simple solution ---------------------------- Not!!
The answers to 10 questions is all it took. If you know how to eliminate accidents this is slick. You see every politician will scream precisely how they have eliminated traffic crashes in their town if they have done so.
Furthermore they’ll damn well do it on their city's web page. Shoot, they'll scream it to any media they can get close too. Folks, they are politicians.
The fact is no city I know of has a clue how to eliminate traffic crashes. Find out more?

How SADD & MADD Can Now Rate Highway Safety
How To Rate Accident Avoidance Skills; for SADD and MADD
Your teen is getting ready to get into his best friend’s car and will probably stay out late for Friday’s big game.
Do you know how that friend drives? If not don’t you want to sleep Friday night?
Is that other teenage driver an expert at avoiding traffic accidents or an accident looking to happen? Most are the latter.
Now for SADD and MADD members alike, can quickly quantify, quite specifically, how others drive--------------- either individually or for the entire city. It’s not that difficult if you know how to avoid accidents yourself.
For instance, I can watch another driver for about five minutes and rate his (her) ability to avoid traffic accidents. Furthermore, it only takes me about 10 minutes of analyzing a city’s web page to determine how safe that city’s roads are.

MADD and SADD Ridding Our Roads of Crazies!
The SADD and MADD Mission: Get the Bums Off The Road
This morning after just entering onto I-4 in Florida, I notice a little sports car catching up to me like I’m sitting still. A young man, he rode my bumper until he couldn’t stand it any longer; (I was traveling faster than the speed limit) then swerved into the adjacent lane and passed me like I was, again ……………………. Sitting still.
From the five rules to safe driving from last week, we now know he violated the two most important laws: One, he was following too close; and second, he was speeding relative to most everyone else around me.
That is everyone but one other crazy. A second car was following the first idiot even closer and trying to go right over the top of him
.
Wow, two complete idiots and they weren’t the only ones I saw this morning. My thoughts?
Simple, where’s a good cop when you need them?
One, other thought: I had an immediate and complete case of road rage but controlled. No fingers, no cursing …………………….. just fuming.
Why the fumes, because I know these two punks were threatening everyone near them that including me. Furthermore, it could have been my kids and wife.
Folks (especially MADD and SADD members), we can do better than this. Remember this fact; most all accidents are caused by driver error.
Then why don’t we get the bums off the road; and just how many unsafe drivers did you see today?

SADD and MADD Focus On The Criminals
Fight Traffic Offenders Like They Are Criminals (which they are)
Today’s lesson on making our streets safe comes from a recent article in Parade Magazine about how to fight crime more effectively.
Titled, “New Ways To Stop Crime” the article says:
D.C. “uses real-time statistics to figure out how and where to allocate officers. We use sophisticated formulas gleaned from arrest records to identify potential offenders. She and her officers track these MVPs (most violent persons) and make sure they know the cops are watching.”
In other words, the most sophisticated crime fighting today focuses on the bad guys. Dah!
Well, I am here to tell you that the modern day fight to make our streets safe is focused on unsafe intersections and streets segments.
If MADD and SADD want to make our streets safe for its members and their communities; they need to make sure driving criminals are treated just like crime and drug criminals. We need to focus on the unsafe drivers, not necessarily just drunk and teenage drivers.

Students Against Unsafe Driving.......... SADD
Students Against Irresponsible Teen Driving …….. SADD
But being against and knowing what to do about it are two different things. Traffic accidents are the #1 killer and crippler of teenagers, period.
So, what to do?
Here’s a hint; avoiding traffic accidents is a learned behavior and it is simple. MADD moms did you catch that? Avoiding traffic accidents can be taught. The safest drivers in America are almost never involved in a traffic crash.
On average teenage drivers are almost 4500 times more likely to be in an accident than the safest drivers. All we have to do is figure out how the safest drivers avoid accidents; and make sure our teens and everyone else copies them.
That’s it. Do you know who the safest drivers are and do you know how they drive?
