Day 06 - Bad Driving Habits - Terrace BC
Day 6. Incorrect signal light use, speeding and not stopping at stop signs. One drunk or distracted driver coming into town from the airport. One guy running into a no parking sign, while parking. Same careless drivers you see everyday here in Terrace BC. The NHTSA and the insurance industry have reported that unintended lane change crashes have been the direct cause of 23000 annual fatalities on US roadways. When drivers signal before making a lane change they give others on the road an extra split second of reaction time to adjust their driving. An extra split second is all that is needed to avoid the swerve that very frequently causes crashes and road run-offs. A person's life can either be saved or lost in just a split second. (sorry I don't have the Canadian stats)
