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

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
