The laws describe only what a driver is required to do or prohibited from doing. But laws do not tell people how to drive. That is the function of a drivers manual. There are a few books that make excellent drivers manuals for cyclists: Street Smarts by John Allen is a concise booklet that summarizes what all cyclists should know. The booklet was issued by the Ohio Department of Public Safety as Ohio Bicycling Street Smarts . It was also used for the ... http://www.bikemaps.com/bss.htm The books Effective Cycling and Bicycle Transportation by John Forester give a more complete treatment but are difficult reading for beginners. Effective Cycling is available at any good bookstore. Every active cyclist should have a well-worn copy of it on his bookshelf. The people who follow the techniques in these books will reduce their accident rate by 80% compared to average untrained cyclists. Cycling in this way is also more effective and more enjoyable and it allows riding confidently in many more places than would otherwise be possible.

The seat belt law is the only traffic law in Minnesota that is considered "secondary" in nature; meaning that an officer must first witness a moving violation before a citation can be issued for noncompliance. Not complying with Minnesota’s belt law can result in a seat belt ticket which can cost you on average between $50-$75 (including court fees).

McBride, Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) Chair Since being elected chair of GHSA, I have talked and worked with nearly every State Highway Safety Office across the country. Each office is unique and solves its safety challenges somewhat differently. Yet, a common thread among all of us is that we share the most pervasive highway safety problem: alcohol-impaired driving. Every GHSA member works to prevent alcohol-impaired driving, including underage drinking and driving. We seek improvements in state laws, educational programs, community coalitions, public information campaigns, and the enforcement of laws. Most of these efforts have been funded through the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), a six-year public works act that will expire next year. Much of the approximately $500 million a year currently authorized for state behavioral highway safety programs is spent on alcohol-impaired driving programs and enforcement.

Home Under Michigan DUI OUIL DWI Traffic law, some traffic violations are civil infractions while others are misdemeanors or felonies. Depending on the violation and how it is resolved, you may be fined, referred to a special program or, in the most serious situations, sent to jail. In most cases, if you do not take care of a traffic ticket, your driver license will be suspended. Each time you are convicted of a traffic violation, you will have to pay certain court fines and costs. In addition, points may be posted to your driver record. Under Michigans point system, each traffic violation has a point value, which is set by law in the Michigan Vehicle Code. Points are placed on your driver record only after you have been convicted or found guilty of or responsible for a civil infraction. Points placed on your driver record remain there for two years from the date of conviction. If you believe there are extenuating circumstances for the ticket you received, these must be submitted when you appear in court. The Secretary of State cannot set aside a court conviction or the points for it. The following shows the points for some traffic violations:

Extractions: WASHINGTON, D.C. - Liberty Mutual Group, Nationwide Insurance, United Parcel Service, General Motors and Chubb Group of Insurance Companies joined the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) today to launch the 6th annual Drive Safely Work Week (DSWW) campaign, October 7-11, 2002. The workplace safety campaign urges employees to "Drive Focused. Stay Safe" on America's "roads more traveled." This year's Drive Safely Work Week campaign addresses aggressive, drowsy, distracted and alcohol-impaired driving; risky driving behaviors associated with our overcrowded roadways. With drivers experiencing anxiety, stress, fatigue, and numerous personal and work-related distractions, it's increasingly important for the American business community to make traffic safety a priority. One of the best ways to keep employees safe on the road is to promote safe driving practices. "On-the-job highway crashes result in huge economic costs for employers, including lost productivity, property damage, workers' compensation, legal expenses and medical care," said Jeffrey Runge, MD, Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "An effective safety program and habits instilled at work have benefits for employees at home, for their families, and for the communities in which they live."

Extractions: Traffic Safety Child Safety Home Safety Seniors' Safety ... Do we need laws against cell phones? Wireless phones are everywhere. Businesses depend on them. Family members call each other to keep in touch. People use them in public places and when driving. The down side is that all those beeping noises and loud conversations are downright annoying, and drivers who pay more attention to the phone than the traffic create a hazard to other drivers. Do we need new regulations to protect the public from these problems? As more drivers use wireless phones, there are more collisions where an at-fault driver was on the phone. Today, drivers have a very high exposure to cell phones. Concerns that use of wireless phones can cause collisions have led to calls to ban or regulate their use in cars. Advocates cite a 1997 article in the New England Journal of Medicine. That report made no claim to prove the devices caused collisions. Moreover, it had several shortcomings. For example: The data were from 1994-95. Since then, exposure has skyrocketed. The number of wireless subscribers in Canada quintupled, from 1.8 million at end of 1994 to 9 million by March 2001, while licensed drivers rose by 10 per cent and vehicles by only three per cent.

Extractions: By Lt. Governor Mary O. Donohue Memorial Day weekend traditionally kicks off the summer driving season and will bring hundreds of thousands of motorists to New York's highways. It's a good time to remind motorists of the importance of driving safely and courteously. Since he took office, Governor Pataki has worked hard to make New York's highways the safest in the nation. Traffic statistics from 1998, the most recent available, show that 1998 was the safest year on our highways, with the lowest number of traffic fatalities in the state since 1920, the first year these records were kept. In 1998, statistics complied by the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), show 1,505 people were killed on New York's roadways, compared to 1,630 deaths in 1997. The rate of 1.22 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled is the safest year on record. We credit that success to many factors. The work of our state and local police in enforcing the laws of the road and a statewide crackdown to keep those who drink and drive or engage in aggressive driving practices off the highways. Improvements in highway construction as well as educational programs offered through community safety organizations have also added to New York's success. Three areas where we have increased our efforts to help further improve driver safety are the need to buckle up, place children properly in child restraint seats and not drinking and driving.
