Crashes occur everyday
on our roads....
It can happen to anyone. Whether you're going on vacation or just down the road, no matter how far the distance and how much of an experienced driver you are, no one is exempt from a crash.
Tell a friend or let your fellow drivers see you making the right decisions on the roads. Your actions could save someone's life.
*Drive Safely*
The Facts.....
* Semi-trucks need at least twice the time and room to stop as cars.
*Law enforcement officers are stopping people who drive aggressively around commercial motor vehicles - whether the person is driving a car or a semi-truck.
*Violations being targeted include:
- Excessive speed
- Following too closely
- Reckless driving
- Failing to signal when changing lanes
- Driving across a gore or median
- Operating an unsafe vehicle
- Driving in an emergency lane
- Trucks over 6 wheels in the left lane
- Operating a commercial vehicle without a valid commercial license
*What you can do to avoid getting a ticket:
-Don't cut off tractor trailers - leave plenty of room before changing lanes.
-Don't tailgate - Unlike cars, tractor trailers have huge blindspots behind them. ALso, if truck brakes suddenly, you have no time to react and no place to go.
-Allow trucks plenty of room - Use caution when you or the truck are merging with traffic.
