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.

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.
