Extractions: Please don't wait for a set of laws governing cell phones on the road please use common sense! Why common sense isn't always enough click here! Use your cell phone only when parked, or have a passenger use it. Never dial the phone or take notes while driving. If your phone rings while driving, let the cellular voice mail service take the call and listen to the message later when you are parked. AND, for those who would argue that talking on your cell phone is no more dangerous than putting on makeup, eating fast food, or reading a map while driving.... Please click here now. These tips are meant to protect you, your family, and everyone else on the road. Cell phones are wonderful tools, when used safely. The cellular phone industry posts the following tips, which we believe are insufficient for driving safety. Still, if you follow only these safety tips, you can make a big difference in the safety of our roads: Get to know your phone Get to know your phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phones offer including, automatic redial and memory dial-most phones can store up to 99 numbers in memory dial. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.

Extractions: National Commission Against Drunk Driving The mission of the National Commission Against Drunk Driving is to continue the efforts of the Presidential Commission On Drunken Driving to reduce impaired driving and its tragic consequences by uniting a broad-based coalition of public and private sector organizations and other concerned individuals who share this common purpose. So, how are we, the traffic safety community, and the nation doing? During the 1980s and early 1990s, pretty well - considering a nearly a 40 percent drop in alcohol- related highway deaths. Lately, however, not well at all - alcohol-related deaths have stagnated at 16,000 per year, with a 4 percent increase last year. What is needed to re-engage the fight against drunken driving to reduce these numbers and the horrific personal tragedies that they represent? The NCADD and most traffic safety professionals agree that we need to get back to basics. By that we mean focusing on where drunken driving occurs - in our local communities - and giving our local police, the courts, probation, treatment and driver licensing agencies the political permission/support and resources to do their jobs. Homeland security starts in our hometowns. We know how to reduce drunken driving, but we are not using the tools, knowledge and resources we already have. The basic "drunken driver control system" (from arrest to treatment) is broken or dysfunctional at the local level.

Extractions: NETS "Who's Driving?" Program Educates Drivers on How to Avoid Distractions Vienna, VA. - With the release of a new study yesterday from the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis suggesting that drivers talking on cell phones are responsible for about six percent (6%) of motor vehicle crashes each year, the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), a broad-based coalition of employers dedicated to highway safety, urge the nation's employers to educate their employees about the many potential distractions in their vehicles and encountered on the nation's roadways and show them ways to manage those distractions safely. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that distracted driving is a factor in between 20 to 30 percent of highway collisions. With drivers increasingly being confronted with in-vehicle distractions as well as exterior (or environmental) and cognitive distractions, drivers often fail to devote their full attention to the driving task. A national telephone survey conducted by NETS in 2000, revealed that many drivers acknowledge engaging in activities that can lead to distracted driving. Nearly three out of four (70%) say that talking to passengers is something they do routinely while driving, nearly half (47%) say they adjust radio or climate controls while behind the wheel and a quarter (29%) admit to eating or reading or (26%) frequently picking up something that fell. Just under a fifth (19%) of drivers say they talk on their cell phone, while 15 percent reported they do none of these things while driving. While taking one's eyes off the road or hands off the steering wheel presents obvious risks, research also indicates that cognitive activities that take a driver's mind away from driving are just as significant in crash causation.

Extractions: for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace Alcohol Traffic Safety Facts About three out every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives. Traffic fatalities in alcohol-related crashes rose slightly (by 0.4 percent) from 17,380 in 2000 to 17,448 in 2001. This number represents a 13 percent reduction from the 20,159 alcohol-related fatalities reported in 1991. Approximately 1.5 million arrests were made in 2000 for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. This is a rate of one for every 130 licensed drivers in the United States. In 2001, 35 percent of all traffic fatalities occurred in crashes in which at least one driver or non-occupant had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. The rate of alcohol involvement in fatal crashes is more than three times higher at night (63 percent) than during the day (19 percent). For all crashes, the rate of alcohol involvement is five times as high at night (15 percent) than during the day (3 percent).

Extractions: Your motor vehicle must have: BRAKES: Your vehicle must have two brake systems and brakes on all wheels. The foot brake must be strong enough to stop a vehicle traveling at a speed of 20 miles per hour in 30 feet. The emergency or parking brake must be strong enough to stop the vehicle in 55 ft. at the same speed. The emergency brake also must be able to hold the vehicle on a grade or hill. Some vehicles have special rules. Motor-driven cycles only need one brake. Vehicles with three or more axles may have a front axle with brakes. Antique vehicles more than 25 years old must keep the same type of brakes originally installed. However, when antique vehicles are driven on a highway, they must have brakes on at least two wheels.

http://www.humantransport.org/bicycledriving/page3.html

Extractions: Bicycles are human-powered vehicles capable of significant speed. Bicycle driving is the operation of a bicycle according to the laws and scientific principles that apply to the operators of all vehicles on public roads. These "Rules of the Road" represent our society's best understanding of how to minimize collisions while maximizing mobility and access for all citizens. Bicyclists have the legal rights and duties of drivers of vehicles when operating on public roadways according to traffic laws in every US state. Bicycle drivers who operate according to traffic rules for vehicles enjoy travel that is much faster and much safer than those bicyclists who do not. Despite the history, laws, and traffic science that support vehicular-style operation of bicycles, there is a common belief that bicyclists cannot travel safely with motor vehicles. People who believe bicyclists are inferior to other road users often want to prohibit bicyclists from using roadways, and force cyclists to operate at slow speeds among pedestrians on sidewalks and trails. The motives for this prohibition are to improve convenience for motorists traveling on inadequate roads and to reduce the level of traffic competence currently expected of lawful drivers of motor vehicles. Such changes would drastically increase the dangers and reduce the convenience of travel by bicycle, as has been demonstrated everywhere it has been tried.

http://www.humantransport.org/bicycledriving/

Extractions: Bicyclists have the right to access every destination reachable by public roads, and this right is protected by the traffic laws of every state. North Carolina law specifically defines bicycles as vehicles and assigns bicycle operators all of the rights and duties of drivers of vehicles on roads. Scientific analysis of bicycling practice in the United States shows that bicyclists who behave as drivers of street vehicles and follow the Rules of the Road enjoy travel that is much safer and much more convenient than those who do not. Unfortunately, common attitudes about bicycle operation are based on taboo and prejudice rather than science and law. As a result, citizens on bicycles have often been treated as inferior road users and systematically discouraged from traveling on important roads to important destinations. The effectiveness of lawful bicycle driving for traffic negotiation has been ignored by much of the public. Even worse, many bicyclists have been encouraged by popular culture to operate in a very dangerous manner when in traffic. The North Carolina Coalition for Bicycle Driving is a grass-roots organization of citizens who are dedicated to advancing public understanding of the principles of vehicular-style bicycle driving, and incorporating these principles into public policy.
