Speeding, Tailgaiting, & Aggressive Driving

If you love to speed and are looking to crash, think about driving faster at night. Most speed-related fatal crashes occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.

One thousand one ... one thousand two

Heres a general driving rule: Look at the vehicle ahead and mark where it is at on the road. You should be able to count two seconds before your vehicle arrives at the same place - that is, if you want to put a safe distance between you and the other vehicle.


Everyone knows that if you look away from the road for two seconds, things can change drastically. Heres what you can do in two seconds:


- Change the radio station
- Pick up your cell phone and get ready to dial
- Dial your cell phone (actually, that takes a little longer)
- Turn around to look at a back-seat passenger
- Check your hair or makeup in the rearview mirror


Changing lanes

Youve been driving in one lane long enough. Youre getting bored and you want to experience something new. You decide its time to move into the fast lane.


Whats your next move? Pick one.
- Cruise into the lane you want and blindly cut off other drivers in the way. Hear them call you
names and watch them get revenge.
- Switch to the new lane without checking your mirrors and sideswipe the car next to you.
- Quickly swerve left or right and hope that you dont get pulled over for an inappropriate lane
change.
- Put your turn signal on, check your mirrors, then merge nicely into the new lanes flow of
traffic.
