Strategies for Safer Driving

摘要

A report indicates that more than two of every 10 firefighter fatalities occurred when responding to or returning from an accident, and that speed was a "contributing factor" for most of these incidents. Here, De Lisi provides strategies for safer driving that include roads traveled, which must always be a consideration for driving more slowly rather than faster. Although it might seem obvious that driving too fast on curved roads can cause a vehicle to roll over or travel off onto the shoulder, straight sections of road can encourage drivers to increase their speed because there may appear to be little that can cause the driver to lose control--that is, until some object suddenly appears in the vehicle's path.
