DISCOVER ROAD SAFETY TIPS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Driving safely is all about being prepared for your trip on highways and public roads. Being aware of ones surroundings is the most critical factor in driver safety. Ensure your safety and the safety of others by being prepared and aware of conditions. Being an educated driver and knowing your truck is working safely will increase your odds of a safe run.

One easy error can turn into a deadly error on a dangerous highway. When traffic is busy and people are in a hurry it only takes one person to cause a chain reaction. Being aware of your surroundings and keeping your thoughts on the road will insure a safe trip. If you see someone driving crazy try to avoid them and call the police and help keep the roads safe.

According to the United States Department of Transportation near 90% of accidents are caused by a driver error. Following some simple rules can insure good habits and longer career on the road. Taking your eyes off the road is easy looking at that ringing phone or that text message. It seems to be a growing epidemic among truckers and young drivers as high tech phones are becoming easier and cheaper to purchase.

Truckers are taking their eyes off the road as well as bus drivers, taxi drivers, teens, and others. Many are discovering how deadly a text message can be while operating a deadly machine. As wrecks are on the rise the chances of you being a statistic raises the more you are on the road.

Want to become a safer driver and help keep the roads safe?
Staying off your phone and eyes on the wheel can save your life. Pulling over and using your phone is much safer than trying to conduct business moving a big rig.

Proper maintenance of your vehicle is a must for road safety. Make sure your breaks are working properly and your truck is serviced well. Inspect all your fluids and make sure your lights are working properly also.

Another thing that will keep you safe on the road is placing any items you need while driving near you. Don’t forget your driver’s license and any other needed documents like trip permits and log book.

Keeping your cool can keep you safe on the road. You cannot let other driver attitudes turn you into bitter driver. You got to remember there are just some dumb people in the world that don’t know how to drive.

Plenty of food, clothes and water will insure a well planned trip. Keeping a few gallons of water can be another wise choice in case your rig gets thirsty. It is also a good plan to the proper tools and extra hoses just in case trouble arises.

Always try to make your location and plans known in case you run into a break down or bad weather. Breaking down in the hot desert or cold mountains can be a deadly mistake during the wrong season.

Having a teammate may be a good option if you are looking for a safer trip. Having another set of eyes and a fresh driver behind the wheel will increase your odds of a safe trip. For long trips with time sensitive goods, team drivers seem to save time and increase safety.

Always slow down while driving down steep mountains and use the proper gear. Always be prepared for weather and driving conditions.

Safe driving saves lives and makes for better work place drivers and for travellers on the road. Being aware and awake will raise the odds of a profitable and safe job. Remember to always snap your belt when you get behind the wheel.
