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?
