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
