In the last few blogs we’ve seen how one can study the surrounding traffic in a community and estimate whether that community has safe roads. Furthermore, we’ve also leaned the same type of observation can determine if an individual (your teen driver or his friends) knows anything about avoiding traffic crashes.
What a powerful tool!
Here’s another use of this powerful technique of simple observation. You can play games while the entire family is taking that long vacation drive. You can get your young kids to pick out the future highway killers by simple observation. Your 10 year old will be able to rate the driving habits of an individual, a community, or an entire state.
Folks, teach your kids this game while they are young. It will make them a highway safety fanatic their entire life. You see they can’t play this game unless they know the five secrets to safe driving.
Do you know these simple five rules? To learn more about real highway safety for 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 Not Rocket Science
From the last two postings, we know that predicting safe roads from "physical observation only" is possible. In other words you don’t need to be a traffic engineer, highway patrolman, or rocket scientist.
All you need to do is be very familiar with the five basic driving rules that equates to avoiding traffic crashes -------------------------------------------- Just five rules!
Make sure your family knows and follows them. Make sure the people that drive your family knows and follows them. Make sure your community, state, and nation knows and follows them.
That’s it, that’s all there is to eliminating almost all traffic accidents and never worrying about your loved ones when they are on the road.
Going back to the last two postings, Utah drivers come closer than Florida Drivers to following those five rules; hence my prediction by simple observing the Utah and Florida drivers.
How would you like to be able to predict the likely hood of traffic accidents by simply observing other drivers (especially your teens), or community of drivers?
Just think of how relaxed you’re sure that your loved ones were traffic accident avoidance robots? To learn more about real highway safety for please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Predictable Traffic Highway Safety
Utah’s Roads Are Safer ----------------As Predicted!
On my last posting, I “predicted” that Utah’s roads were safer than my home state’s (Florida’s roads). More importantly, I made this prediction without looking at stat one. I based the prediction on simple observation while driving Utah roads while on vacation.
Upon returning to Florida from my vacation to Utah I looked up the statistics and sure enough Utah’s fatality rate per hundred thousand population was 38% safer than Florida’s (for 2008).
How did I make this prediction and what is the implication?
The how is simple, I and all my readers know that safe roads are mostly about 5 key safe-driving habits and these habits are easy to spot. The implication: If one can spot these “safe driving” habits; one can make sure their loved ones drive with those habits; and just as critical, can make sure everyone that drives a loved one also has these habits.
The good news it only takes about a 15 minute ride with anyone to know their risk potential on our dangerous roads. The fact is you, I, our families, and communities can avoid traffic accidents caused by those drivers that are aggressive, inattentive, drunk, or young (that don't drive with our safe driving habits).

Traffic Highway Safety In Utah
A MADD and SADD Lesson in Real Highway Safety
Spent the last two weeks driving Utah Roads; they're safer than Florida Rds. I conclude this without looking at any stats.
I base this on observation only. If you know what to look for it's easy to spot safe and unsafe roads. Here's a hint: safe roads equates to safe driving. And, Utah drivers are not in as big a rush and more importantly, drive with much healthier following gaps than do Florida drivers.
If you want to know more about Traffic Highway Safety please see our site at: WWW.Stopcarcrashes.com.

Traffic Highway Safety And The Problem STatement
Are Most Accidents Caused by Drunks or Teens?
That’s right, this is a trick question. Both driving populations are indeed deserving of their strong societal pressure. But technically it’s not the drinking or the youth that causes traffic crashes.
Folk’s it their unsafe driving that causes all the damage and destruction on our roads. The point is, non drinkers and older drivers can drive just as destructively.
Do you know specifically what driving habits cause all the problems and what we, as a society, can do about it? Do you know how to catch unsafe drivers before their future accident?

Accidents Caused By Tailgating
BACK OFF For Real Traffic Highway Safety
If you’ve been reading this blog for any time then you know by now that one of the five laws for traffic highway safety is no tailgating. Specifically, if everyone on the road kept a 3-6 second following gap we could eliminate almost all traffic accidents.
So, the other day I drive up to a stop light and see a macho man riding a Harley without a helmet. On the back of his tee shirt are the words, back off. I laugh realizing how significant those words are in the battle to make our roads safe.
However, here’s the rest of the story: When the light turns green this idiot takes off right on the bumper of the car in front of him. The road is congested, no where to go and this suicide motorcyclists tailgates for miles.
Go back to our last posting. Again, in Florida 36% of all roadway fatalities in 2007 were pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists. Please don’t drive with bad driving habits, especially if you are helmetless motorcyclists.

Safety Drivers -- Secrete To Traffic Highway Safety
46% of Traffic Fatalities Are Roadways Most Vulnerable:
Just read a report from the Florida DOT that stated 36% of the fatalities on Florida roads in 2007 were pedestrians, motorcyclists, or bicyclists.
Folks, that’s 46%!!
Now, the next time you travel on a road note how many pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists you see. I’ll bet not many especially relative to the number of cars and trucks?
Let’s see; 36% of the fatalities associated with less than 1% of the users; something is wrong with this picture.
The wrong is simple, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists are small, indeed practically hidden from view; and totally unaware of their risk when they are on or near a road. Here’s the secrete, to making our roads safe for roadway’s most vulnerable tripartite:
We need to make our roads safe for the hundreds of millions of cars and trucks to make it safe for the relatively few pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bikers.

Accidents Are Caused by Unsafe Drivers with Rights
Is Driving A Privilege Or A Right?
In the last posting we discussed placing cameras and radar units in the road to supplant cops in enforcing traffic laws; well ……………………………….
What’s the very first cry from the most aggressive drivers in our society? Remember, these guys are our enemy and don’t want any enforcement. In fact, the more you drive recklessly; the more you’re going to say, “cameras, huh; big brother is watching.” Then something like, “besides it’s unconstitutional to use cameras.”
To which I say, “poppycock!”
Folks, we are talking about a war on our roads everyday you or your family rides on our aggressive roads. Again, to quote my favorite quote:
“Since the founding of our nation, we’ve lost almost 500% more lives
on our roads than on the battlefields of all wars fought.”
Then I simply point out that driving America’s roads is a privilege not a right. You can drive
our roads as long as you adhere to our few simple laws, period.
By the way do you remember our five laws of the road from an earlier posting?

Accident Cause By: Not Enough Cops!
Accidents Caused by: Not Enough Good Cops?
From our last two postings let’s continue the discussion of “not enough good cops.”
So, what’s the answer if we don’t have enough cops to effectively enforce our traffic laws?
First, let’s better define the problem. Too many people drive like maniacs. Why?
Simple, these unsafe drivers don’t think they’ll get caught; because they, like us, don’t ever see a good cop when one is needed.
The solution, what if had a weapon that would almost guarantee everyone that drives poorly would get caught----- including drunks and wild teen drivers? Do you think our roads would get safe practically overnight?
Well folks, with today’s cameras and radar units we can catch unsafe drivers before they hit you or your family. And, we can ticket them automatically.
Now think about this, no more traffic law breakers, approximately no accidents, injuries, or need for auto insurance. Wow!
The best part of this solution, cameras with radar components would pay for themselves plus. No need to hire more good cops; in fact, you could free the cops for crime prevention.

Accidents Caused by: not enough Good Cops?
Accidents Caused by: not enough Good Cops?
From our last posting let’s continue the discussion of “not enough good cops.” It’s true, good cops are never seen enough from the perspective of we safe drivers.
But my guess is reckless and careless drivers see far too many cops enforcing today’s ineffective traffic laws. So, which is it: do we have to much enforcement or to little enforcement on our roads?
At Parents For Safe Roads our entire highway safety plan is based on the fact that people drive like fools for one reason and one reason only.
The unsafe see far too few police; think they can get away with reckless and aggessive driving, period.
We have far too little enforcement. And, there are many reasons for this including there is a big voting block of unsafe drivers. In fact, we have so many poor drivers / voters the law enforcement cops think its political suicide to really make our roads safe.
Here's the good news: In the next posting I'll explain how we can enforce traffic laws much more effectively but without any cost to your commuity.

Accidents Caused By: Not Enough Good Cops!
Where's a Good Cop When You Need One?
How many times have you been driving on the road, and some crazy passes you like you are sitting still? Or, someone aggressively changes lanes while everyone else is patiently waiting their turn?
And, right after witnessing a hostile action on your car; how many times have you then said, “where is a good cop when you need one?”
After decades of driving I’ve finally seen that good cop at the right time. Folk’s I have never witnessed this before. Yesterday while coming home from work, after nearly being blown off the road by cabby a copy actually pulled him over. I wanted to stop and kiss the cop.
And, this, in short, is what is wrong with today’s highway safety efforts----------- not enough good cops. Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Accidents Cause By What?
Accidents Caused By What?
Folks, fill in the blank. The point is, problem solving 101 teaches that step #1 in problem solving is: identify the problem.
So, why can’t Highway Safety Officials do that? If they could riding on our roads would not be so threatening ------------------- like every ride.
For example, for my 39 years in municipal Highway Safety I’d estimate that 99.9% of our efforts were to make safety improvements at intersections and along street segments as if the reckless and careless driving of motorists had nothing to do with all the accidents. Only problem with this focus on roads; again most all traffic accidents are caused by driver error. Do you see why “identifying the problem” is so critical.
If today’s traffic safety engineers took the time to first identify the problem they would conclude that it is indeed the driver stupid. Maybe then we could get to the solution to all the mayhem on our highways which would be driver focused not roadway improvement focused.

Setting Priorities For Traffic Highway Safety
Public Safety Priorities, A Master Mystery:
So, what is the top public safety priority in your community? Is it to stop crime, drugs, or eliminate traffic accidents?
With some training you can analyze your city’s web site for 10 minutes and probably know more about your city’s public safety priorities than your mayor. Honestly, eliminating traffic accidents is so far down the list; most citizens and politicians don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
To prove it, ask yourself how many traffic crashes is your city willing to live with next year? Next, ask your mayor? Why the mystery?

Seat Belt Laws & Traffic Highway Safety
Seat Belt Laws No Substitute For Real Traffic Highway Safety
In a recent blog from Hometownlife.com comes this profound safety advice:
“Most traffic accidents occur close to home. Safety belts
are the best form of protection in the event of a crash.”
Folks, the key words above are: “in the event of a crash.”
If parents really want to protect their children they need to do it “before the accident.” Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

SADD & MADD Do Away with "All" Crazy Driving
Crazies to Cops Ratio – Your Next SADD and MADD Project
With our SADD and MADD members so focused on drunk driving, the crazies to cop ratio highlights that there are other villains than drunks on the roads.
Our crazies to cop ratio is simply the number of crazy drivers divided by the number of cops you saw on the way to wherever you drove today.Routinely, I calculate a ratio of greater than 100, which means I see over 100 reckless, careless, or inattentive driving moves to every cop I see.
Folks, this maybe the problem? Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Our crazies to cop ratio is simply the number of crazy drivers divided by the number of cops you saw on the way to wherever you drove today.Routinely, I calculate a ratio of greater than 100, which means I see over 100 reckless, careless, or inattentive driving moves to every cop I see.
Folks, this maybe the problem? Please SADD and MADD members visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

Think Air Cushion for Traffic Highway Safety
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

A safety perspective.”
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

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.

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?

SADD's Path to More Freedom From MADD Moms
SADD’s Best Gift to MADD Moms:
Hey you SADD students, do you want to show your MADD moms how really responsible you are so they’ll get off your back?
Oh, your parents aren’t on your back. How about when you come late home after curfew and mom is standing in the doorway with that look?
Well, the secret is convincing your parents that you are not only a safe and responsible driver but fanatical about it. Remember, you parents love you and just want you home knowing full well that you being on the road is dangerous.
So, get fanatical about highway safety. Show them by knowing how to eliminate traffic accidents. Show them by pointing out those drivers that need to be off the road. Show them by analyzing or rating other drivers and actually calculating their safe driving score. In fact, show your parents how responsible a highway safety fanatic you are by analyzing your town’s ability to eliminate traffic accidents.
Can you imagine how much slack you get from Mom and Dad if they know for sure that you are an absolute expert and fanatical about safe roads.

"Students Against" Please MADD Moms
SADD; Keeping Highway Safety Simple With MADD ……..Again
The power of “keeping it simple” for our traffic laws can’t be repeated enough. Again and again, knowing the precise driving behavior that threatens us all on our mean and dangerous roads can help us avoid the other driver but only if; simple enough to be effective.
In my book, Highway Safety’s Best Kept Secret; the secret is powerfully effective because it is the same five very simple driving rules I posted last week.
For instance, if simple enough anyone could be trained to rate the highway safety programs of cities, states, and especially your own teenager. In fact, you could perform this rating in minutes.
No longer would you have to wonder whether your teen or other driver of your teenager is a safe driver. In minutes you could rate that other driver.
Even more powerful, a well trained rater can go to any city's web site and rate that city in terms of how safe its streets are.

SADD, Students Against
SADD: Change Name to Students Against Destructive Driving
Here’s a message to all SADD members and their MADD moms:
The SADD acronym should stand for: Students Against Destructive Driving, not Students Against Destructive Decisions.
Oh, sure drinking alcohol, taking drugs, following the lead of irresponsible friends are all destructive to teens; however:
The #1 killer of every age group between the ages of 3 and 33 is the auto accidents, so emphacize the war against destructive driving in your name. That's where the real action is.

Patient Umpiring For SADD and MADD
An Umpiring Lesson for SADD and MADD:
If you can stand the boredom at the next baseball game you watch; note how the umpire calls balls and strikes. The good umpires almost universally see the pitch, hesitate for an instant; then call it either a ball or strike.
What can MADD and SADD members learn from this lesson? Simple, the reason for the hesitation is to let the action register with the brain before acting on what the eyes see.
Well, ditto for drivers who need to make critical decisions in their everyday driving. Sometimes we need to hesitate and take in what is happening around us, hesitate; then make the left turn, or lane change -------------------------- after our brain confirms what our eyes are telling us; that it's safe.

SADD Bicyclists MADD About All the Aggressive Cars:
Today’s highway safety lesson of the day comes from a recent “letter to editor” at WWW.Timesunion.com entitled:
“Bicyclists Need to Keep Up Speed”
The letter was in response to a bicyclist who had written, “drivers disregarding the rules of the road, were creating an unsafe environment for bicyclists.”
The driver responded by saying, “bicyclists held up drivers with their slow speed and needed to speed up.”
Well, both are right. Cars do drive like bats out of hell and bicyclists ride too slow. The bottom line we at highwaysafetyfanatics are focused on making roads safe for cars. Our feeling is that once the roads are safe for the much bigger, easier to see, cars; bicyclists may have a chance to share the road safely.
Until then here is a piece of advice for the bicycle enthusiasts; stay off the busy roads especially those with bike paths. Folks, bike paths scream the road is safe when it is not.
To summarize, MADD moms need to keep their SADD bicyclists off the busier roads, at least until we make the roads safe. Ask your kid about the route they take while riding their bike.

MADD & SADD About the Obvious needing study
US Withheld Data on Risks of Talking At the Wheel
Recently an article entitled “Distracted Drivers” told of how The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration withheld a request to study the dangers of cell phone usage while driving.
Wow, imagine highway safety experts needing to spend multiple millions to see if driving with a cell phone to one’s ear is dangerous. Folks, you need to be brain dead if you think this needs investigation. The news shouldn't be that a request to spend many millions on research wasn't made; the story should be that our so called safety experts actually considered studying it in the first place.
Here’s a hint: If the driver in front of you is traveling 20 mph slower than everyone else on your road, 9 times out of 10, he is talking on his cell phone. And, yes driving slow relative to other drivers is just as dangerous as driving faster than everyone else. See Highway Safety Law #1, Relative Speeding from last week’s posting.
This was news??
Hopefully our SADD and MADD members, trying to arrive alive, know talking on cell phones while driving is like sky diving in terms of risk.

SADD & MADD Assess Highway Safety Programs
Are your city’s roads safe?
In the last posting, I made the incredible claim that I could teach anyone how to quantitatively rate their city’s effectiveness in making its streets safe. Furthermore, such an assessment could be done in minutes by analyzing that city’s web site.
Don't you agree this would be a great project for both SADD and MADD members?
Anyway, here’s a hint. Go back a few postings and review my five laws for safe roads. The fact is, if we want safe, friendly roads rather than the dangerous, hate filled ones we presently have; all we need to do is make sure everyone drives according to our new five laws of the road.
Then, to rate a city’s performance at making sure everyone drives responsibly all we need to do is look for evidence that the five laws for safe roads is the gospel on that web site. Simple, now to learn how to do this; please visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: WWW.StopCarCrashes.com

A Highway Safety Program For SADD and MADD
The “Keeping It Simple” Highway Safety Program:
Pay $50 - $200 to take any “defensive course”; and you’ll be inundated with detail safe driving tips. For instance, I just took one the country’s most popular courses and stopped counting at 100 suggested dos and don’ts for avoiding accidents.
But, what if the real secret to defending your loved ones on our roads can be summed up in five easy rules?
That’s right I just gave you the five laws in last week’s blogs. But how can these be applied to eliminate practically all traffic crashes for first our inner families, then our communities.
Here’s a tip; it takes me about 20 minutes of riding with a driver in order for me to estimate this driver’s ability to avoid traffic accidents. Any MADD or SADD member would be ecstatic to have this ability.
And, if you think having this ability is great; what if you could review a city’s web site for 5 minutes; and estimate that city’s ability to keep its streets safe?
Well, that’s what keeping it simple does for us. In just a few minutes you can make sure everyone close or not so close can drive safely. Find out how.

A Safe Driving Program for SADD, MADD, All
Arrive Alive by Avoiding Traffic Accidents
In the last five sessions we have provided the only five "safe driving" laws needed to eliminate almost all traffic accidents. By far the most important of the five profound laws is following with a 3-6 second gap between yourself and the car in front of you.
Interestingly, the other 4 laws provide for what has been described as a 360 degree air cushion.
But the real secret is that we need someone to enforce these new laws of the road. Both the MADD and SADD organizations can push this program.

We all know driving can be rather boring and on occasions send us into a blank stare. For instance, ever drive through a busy intersection; or make a left in front of an 18 wheeler and think back:
How did I do that? I don't even remember going through that intersection of
seeing that big truck.
Folks, keep those eyes moving and concentrate; your life and family's lives depends on it.

New Laws for Road Safety
Relative Speeding Law 1 of 5:
For the next five days I will give you the five laws that we need ever driver to follow on our roads.
The first is Relative Speeding. It is when an unsafe driver is traveling 15 or more miles per hour faster than the surrounding traffic. You’ve seen this many times whenever someone comes up on you real fast and you say where did he (she) come from?
In fact, doing away with relative speeding is the main principle behind setting speed limits. Without getting into the minutia of the whys and wherefores, just remember if you want your family to be safe on the roads traffic law #1 is:
Traffic Law #1: Set your speed at about the same speed as everyone else
Yes, that means if the posted speed limit is 45 and everyone is traveling 60, you need to go approximately 60. Just don’t give the police officer my name to get you out of the ticket.

Changing Unsafe to Safe Driving
Convencing Unsafe Drivers To Change Their Habits:
Folks, unsafe driving is so widespread on our roads no one recognizes it. Or, maybe no one wants to recognize it? How can this be, you ask?
Well, I think it’s because almost no one knows how really, really simple it is to eliminate traffic accidents. You say, ha; no one can eliminate traffic crashes.
That’s my point.
To the extent you thought accidents could be eliminated and your family protected from the other driver, even if drunk, a teen driver, or whatever; you’d probably ask, how?

Safe Driving, The Secret to Road Safety
Red Light Cameras For Road Safety:
Today’s safe driving article of the day is entitled: “Red-Light Cameras raking in Cash”. The subtitle is: “devices sold for safety, but some contend money is main move.”
From the title we see a problem. This writer seemed to think maybe the profit motive was in the back of the minds of the city? Go to the attached, safe roads, "article of the day link" and see for yourself.
Before you do; put this question in the back of your mind: Does one measure the effectiveness of these cameras by simply counting the before and after accidents at the specific location of the cameras or for the entire city?
Believe it or not this question gets to the heart of real highway safety. Please visit our web site for more information on how to eliminate traffic crashes at: http://www.stopcarcrashes.com/

Safe Roads For Motorcycles
Motorcycles Violate Two Safe Driving Principles
Even if you are an expert at avoiding collisions, a super safe driver, you still violate two of the top three safe driving principles:
One, you are a relative microscopic entity sharing the roads with much larger vehicles. In other words, it doesn’t take much of an accident to do some very big damage to the bike rider.
Second, your microscopic size hides you from the other driver. Folks, no one see you.
Combine these two road safety base violations with the fact that most other drivers are not looking for motorcycles and are driving either carelessly, aggressively, or recklessly and you see why no one ------------------- I mean no one -------------- should be on motorbikes on our roads until we make our roads safe for automobiles. Find out why.

Even if you are an expert at avoiding collisions, a super safe driver, you still violate two of the top three safe driving principles:
One, you are a relative microscopic entity sharing the roads with much larger vehicles. In other words, it doesn’t take much of an accident to do some very big damage to the bike rider.
Second, your microscopic size hides you from the other driver. Folks, no one see you.
Combine these two road safety base violations with the fact that most other drivers are not looking for motorcycles and are driving either carelessly, aggressively, or recklessly and you see why no one ------------------- I mean no one -------------- should be on motorbikes on our roads until we make our roads safe for automobiles. Find out why.

How many times did you experience road rage ------------------------ today?
If you answered none, I would suggest that you are either blind and don’t have a clue how to eliminate traffic crashes. For example, 95% of today’s threat on our dangerous roads is caused by unsafe driving of the reckless, careless, or aggressive nature.
Folks, the more you know about how to protect your family from its #1 risk, the auto accident, the more road rage you will experience.

Road Safety For Bikers and Pedestrians
Enforce the damn laws, please!
Today I was driving on a busy urban highway with a deadly combination. It had lots of speeding vehicles right adjacent to unaware pedestrians and bicycle riders.
In fact, within about 100 yards of each other I saw both a pedestrian and biker crossing the road at mid-block as in J-walking.
One of the two was completely day-dreaming and acted as though she didn’t know where she was.
Folks, bicycle and pedestrians are at a great disadvantage to the automobile in a battle for road space. Both weigh almost nothing relative to the car and yes get hurt or killed when hit.
In my state, in my town we are spending big time resources to help bikes and pedestrians stay safe on our dangerous roads. However, nothing I mean nothing helps when the smaller road user in just plain dumb. Please use the marked X-walks, green signals, and keep your head in the game. Please don’t cross busy roads while listening to a CD with earphones.
Where's a cop when you need one?

Road Safety For All or None
Road Safety For All or None:
While driving home from vacation today, saw dozens of motorcyclists. Most had no helmet and too many of them had unsafe driving habits.
My theory about motorcycle safety on today’s dangerous roads is simple. Roads will never be safe for two wheelers until said roads are safe for four wheelers. Today, one takes a huge risk by simply getting into the family car and driving to the supermarket.
If this is the case, and it is, let me assure you the same trip via a motorcycle or bike is suicide. Do it without a helmet and with unsafe driving habits and you won’t be on this earth long.
