Drive Safely Work Week Minimizing Distractions: Resisting - TopicsExpress



          

Drive Safely Work Week Minimizing Distractions: Resisting activities unrelated to driving that take your eyes or mind off the road and your hands off the wheel. Frequently Scanning Your Mirrors: Many fleet safety programs recommend a “full mirror sweep” every 5-6 seconds. If a vehicle suddenly appears in one of your mirrors without you noticing its approach, you’ll know you are not shifting your eyes often enough. Maintaining a Proper Following Distance: On clear, dry roads, your following distance should be 3-4 seconds — double or triple if roads are wet or slippery, keeping in mind that in some cases it’s best to stay off the roads until conditions improve. Scanning Ahead: Look down the road ahead of you for a distance of 10 seconds. In the city, that’s about one block and on the highway, it’s about 1/3 of a mile.
