Safe Driving Practices
Types and Causes of Incidents
It should be recognized that vehicle collisions are rarely "accidents" that result from luck or chance. Vehicle collisions are more appropriately called incidents, and almost all traffic incidents may be attributed to human errors. Often, more than one error occurs in a traffic incident.
Safe driving practices can result in fewer traffic incidents. By identifying the most frequent types of incidents and their primary contributing driving errors, the potential for collisions may be reduced.
In Palmdale, the most common types of traffic collisions are as follows: broadside (37%); rear end (24%); side swipe (12%); hitting a fixed object (11%); head on (6%); and others (10%).
The most common driver errors associated with incidents include the following; however, many incidents may have multiple causes. Failing to yield the right-of-way is a primary factor in 27 percent of incidents in Palmdale. This includes attempting to enter a roadway or intersection without a sufficient gap between other cars. Turning without a sufficient gap in oncoming traffic and running red lights are also common errors. These errors often result in broadside incidents. These may be corrected by patience and carefully observing oncoming traffic.

http://kentucky.gov/Portal/FollowLink/dot_dwi
Impaired Driving in Kentucky Incidence of Impaired Driving For one of every 220 miles driven in Kentucky in 1996, a legally intoxicated person (BAC .10) sat behind the wheel. Kentucky police report 6,150 crashes involving a driver or pedestrian with a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Formulas developed by NHTSA were used to estimate the number of alcohol-related crashes where alcohol involvement is not reported by the police. An estimated total of 15,800 crashes in Kentucky involved alcohol. These crashes killed 296 and injured an estimated 9,600 people. Impaired Driving by Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) In 1996, Kentucky drivers with:
  • BACs of .10 and above were involved in an estimated 15,000 crashes that killed 236 and injured 8,400 BACs between .08-.09 were involved in an estimated 300 crashes that killed 17 and injured 400 Positive BACs below .08 were involved in an estimated 500 crashes that killed 43 and injured 800
Costs Alcohol is a factor in 31% of Kentucky crash costs. Alcohol-related crashes in Kentucky cost the public more than $1.6 billion in 1996, including $0.6 billion in monetary costs and more than $1.0 billion in quality of life losses. (For definitions of the cost categories, see the definitions fact sheet.) Alcohol-related crashes are deadlier and more serious than other crashes. People other than the drinking driver paid $0.7 billion of the alcohol-related crash bill. Costs Per Alcohol-Related Injury The average alcohol-related fatality in Kentucky cost $3.1 million:

Introduction
Aggressive Driving
WHAT IS AGGRESSIVE DRIVING?
Aggressive driving can refer to any display of aggression by a driver. It is often used to describe more extreme acts of physical assault that result from disagreements between drivers. "Road Rage" is a term believed to be coined by the American media, originally to describe the most violent events. Although the media currently seem to refer to all aggressive driving as road rage, the New York State Police have pointed out that there is an important difference. "Road Rage" , such as using the vehicle as a weapon or physically assaulting a driver or their vehicle, is NOT aggressive driving. Such acts are criminal offenses, and there are laws to deal with these violent crimes. The New York State Police define an Aggressive Driver as one who: Operates a motor vehicle in a selfish, bold or pushy manner, without regard for the rights or safety of the other users of the streets and highways.
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING SEEMS TO BE INCREASING
Part of the problem may be the roads themselves. The roads are more crowded. The number of vehicle miles driven each year is up 35% in the past ten years, and there are more vehicles on the roads. Yet the number of miles of roadway has increased by only 1%. Also, people are busier. Time is at a premium, and road congestion causes frustration.

Driving Under the Influence
Driving is perhaps the ultimate statement of independence for a teenager. But having a driver's license is a privilege that comes with responsibility. By drinking and driving, you stand to lose more than your driver's license - you could lose your life. Automobile crashes are the No. 1 cause of death among young people and nearly half are alcohol-related.
  • Person under the age of 21 also can be charged with a DUI, if they have a BAC of .08 or greater, any illegal drugs in their systems or other indications of impaired driving. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have zero tolerance laws for drivers under the age of 21.
    Between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2002, 23,484 drivers under the age of 21 lost their driving privileges in Illinois because they were driving after drinking alcohol. In Illinois, during 2002, 206 young people aged 16-20 were killed in alcohol-related crashes.

For over twenty three million students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on the school bus. The greatest risk is not riding the bus, but approaching or leaving the bus. Before the children go back to school or start school for the first time, it is essential that adults and children know traffic safety rules. School Bus Safety for Drivers
Drivers should do the following things to stay safe around school buses and school children:
When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school.
When driving in neighborhoods with school zones, watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking about getting there safely.
Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood.
Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic.
Slow down. Watch for children playing and congregating near bus stops.

Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving is defined as a progression of unlawful driving actions such as:
  • speeding exceeding the posted limit or driving too fast for conditions;
  • improper or excessive lane changing: failing to signal intent, failing to see that movement can be made safely, or
  • improper passing failing to signal intent, using an emergency lane to pass, or passing on the shoulder.
  • The "aggressive driver" fails to consider the human element involved. The anonymity of being behind the wheel gives aggressive drivers a false sense of control and power; therefore, they seldom take into account the consequences of their actions.
  • Aggressive Driving vs. Road Rage. There is a difference. Aggressive driving is a traffic offense; road rage is a criminal offense.
  • Road rage is defined as "an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapon by the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle or an assualt precipitated by an incident that occurred on a roadway."
  • Road rage requires willful and wanton disregard for the safety of others.
  • A national survey sponsored by NHTSA of 6,000 drivers over the age of sixteen showed that the public supports increased enforcement including photo enforcement, increasing sanctions, increasing intervention by vehicle occupants and increasing public awareness of risks, as ways of reducing these types of unsafe driving practices.

Bicycle Laws

ARE YOU A SAFE BICYCLIST?
Safe Bicycling involves more than wearing the proper safety equipment and keeping your bike in good mechanical order- you must also learn the rules of the road. The following are important excerpts from the California Vehicle Code (VC) relating to the operation and equipping of bicycles. Bicycle Defined. VC 231 Defines bicycle as a device upon which any person may ride, propelled exclusively by human power through a belt, chain, or gears and having one or more wheels. Specifically provides that persons riding bicycles are subject to Vehicle Code provisions specified in Sections 21200 and 21200.5 (see below). Bicycle Use. VC 21200 Every person riding a bicycle upon a street or highway has all the rights and is subject to all the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle, including the provisions of law dealing with driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs, except those provisions which by their very nature can have no application. Bicycling Under Influence of Alcohol or Drugs. VC 21200.5

In Florida the bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle (but not a motor vehicle). A bicyclist has all the rights of drivers of other vehicles, except in those cases in which special provisions have been adopted for bicycles.

Traffic Safety Throughout the year, we receive numerous calls from citizens who express concerns, and even anger, about motorists and pedestrians who fail to observe traffic laws. The most common complaints are about speeding, failure to obey highway signs and incidents of careless or reckless driving. Complaints are also received about pedestrians who fail to use crosswalks or dart out into heavy traffic. Our traffic laws and ordinances are designed with safety in mind. When tempered with proper consideration and adherence to them, most accidents, injuries and tragedies can be avoided. Please take the time to evaluate your own behavior behind the wheel and keep the following tips in mind:
  • Obey the speed limit Don't make sudden changes in direction Give proper signals Don't tailgate other drivers Never operate a motor vehicle when you are angry or upset Expect changes in road conditions or the sudden appearance of emergency vehicles Wear your safety belt Be courteous; don't seek revenge or try to intimidate other drivers Never drink and drive Keep music at a reasonable sound level
