In response to: UPS Freight: Richmond Road Driver Killed in Accident
January 17, 2012
There are a few simple safety tips that drivers can follow to help to reduce their risks of being involved in a car accident with a tractor trailer. When traveling along the Interstate, tractor-trailers are common and motorists need to be prepared.
Interstate Safety Tips:
-Pay attention. Keep an eye out for tractor-trailers. They operate much differently than our passenger vehicles. Steer clear of them and allow them with plenty of room.
-Remember blind spots. Whenever driving near tractor-trailers, make sure that you can see the eyes of the driver. If you can't see them then they can't see you.
-Never tailgate a large truck.
-Put down the distractions. Driving on the interstate requires 100 percent of your attention.
-Never cut off a large truck. They take a greater distance to stop than our vehicles do.
-If you need to stop on the highway, be sure to pull completely off the road.
-Avoid road rage when driving near trucks. Their vehicles will almost always overpower you.
-Always expect the unexpected.
