Passenger Safety Laws Speed Limits Right-of-Way Passing ... Additional Laws Passenger Safety Laws Safety Belt Law Safety belts must be worn by all drivers and front seat passengers age 8 and over even if the vehicle has air bags. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that all front seat passengers ages 8 to 16 obey this law. Anyone found guilty of disobeying this law may be subject to a fine and court costs. Children under age 16 are covered by the Child Passenger Protection Act. A child up to age 16 not in a safety seat must wear safety belts regardless of the location in the vehicle. Drivers under age 18 are required to limit passengers to one in the front seat and the number of seat belts in the back seat. However, during the first six months of their license (or until they reach age 18, whichever occurs first) they are limited to only one passenger under age 20 (except immediate family, including siblings or children of the driver). All passengers under age 18, with a driver under age 18, regardless of location in the vehicle must be belted. Exceptions are motorcycles and second division vehicles with only a front seat. In a second division vehicle, more than one passenger is allowed, provided that each passenger is in properly secured safety belts.

They believe the laws should be changed to increase the speed limits. They don't think speeding is dangerous because it's something that 'everybody does' They tend to blame others for their actions The crash wasn't my fault. Sure I was riding his bumper, but if he had just moved over instead of checking up his breaks, I wouldn't have run into the back of him

Maybe WHO didn't have Wisconsin in mind; but with state traffic fatalities reaching a 23-year high of 840 in 2003, the emphasis on traffic safety as a global health issue came at a good time for local efforts to reduce the toll taken on our roads and highways. Area physicians joined others who observed World Health Day locally by introducing a traffic safety agenda developed by the Medical College of Wisconsin Injury Research Center (IRC). The agenda offered recommendations to state policymakers and the public on four specific priorities that IRC researchers believe would help bring the number of traffic injuries and deaths down.

Home Getting Around Germany Driving www.texhwyman.com/regeln.htm Below is a rather complete overview of the German traffic code based on my interpretation. This information is from a variety of sources including the 1987 Fahren Lernen driver's education manual and the 1993 official Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (Road Traffic Ordinances) distributed by the Federal Transport Ministry as well as numerous contributions by readers. Special thanks to Tino Haderlein and Wolfgang Meyenberg for their review of these pages. CONTENTS Licensing General laws Right-of-way Speed limits Parking regulations Urban traffic regulations Traffic calming zones Autobahn traffic regulations Special prohibitions Accidents The most important section here for foreigners is the right-of-way discussion. LICENSING If you are visiting Germany and will not be establishing residency, then your current driver's license is valid in Germany indefinitely. If you will be residing in Germany, your driver's license is valid for six months from the date when permanent residency is established. After that, you will have to obtain a German driver's license. (If your residency will be for longer than six months but less than one year [you will need proof of this], you can obtain a six month extension to use your existing license.) If you're using a foreign license to drive in Germany, you're supposed to carry an official translation of your license in addition to the license itself, but if you speak the language well enough, I've found that you should be OK. If you should get into a situation where you need to have a translation, you can get one from the ADAC automobile club for about €40. If you want to have a bit of "insurance", you can take care of this before arriving by getting an International Driver's License (IDL) in your home country. In the US, these are available from AAA for about US$20. (My recommendation: get an IDL before you go better safe than sorry.) Keep in mind that an IDL does not replace your official driver's license it is just a translation of it in an internationally recognized format. You must carry your official license with your IDL.

It can be tempting to ignore traffic rules, but this is when most crashes occur. Ride With Traffic Always ride on the right side of the road. Do not pass motorists on the right. If you approach an intersection with a right turn lane and intend to continue straight, ride in the through lane with traffic. Signal All Turns Look back before you make a lane change or turn. Signal safely in advance using one of these signals. Making Left Hand Turns You may turn left as a vehicle (1) by moving into the left side of the travel lane (or left turn lane). OR Cross like a pedestrian (2) by stopping, dismounting, and walking across crosswalks.

Diving Caving First Aid Kit Safety Tips Home Driving in New Zealand is not difficult but there are a few surprises: the following hints should help you have a safe trip. Also, pick up a copy of the Road Code from the NZ Automobile Association or bookshops. Driving is on the left-hand side of the road. Remember the 'give way to the right' rule when driving in New Zealand. This includes giving way to right-turning traffic if you are turning left at an intersection. Always keep below the legal speed limits indicated on road signs. The maximum speed on any open road is 100km/h. The maximum speed in urban areas is 50km/h. Adjust your speed as conditions demand. Don't underestimate driving times. Although distances may seem short, New Zealand roads often include hilly, narrow or winding terrain, which slow down your journey. If you're used to driving in the city, take care when driving on the open country roads, and watch out for single-lane bridges. Get plenty of sleep before a long drive. Take regular breaks - one every two hours and when you get sleepy. New Zealand accepts the national drivers' licences of all other countries for tourists staying less than 12 months. You must carry your licence while driving.

91. Aggressive Driving The National Highway traffic safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as the Arizona’s law created the offense of aggressive driving. http://www.okhighered.org/training-center/newsletters/campus/aggressive-driving.

Aggressive Driving (Road Rage) Almost every day the media report another horrible incident involving aggressive driving or, in its most extreme form, road rage. Speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, following too closely, yelling and gesturing are actions that characterize the aggressive driver. In some cases the behavior escalates into a duel between two cars, often with fatal results. Studies show an increase in these kinds of incidents over the past several years. Reported incidents of aggressive driving have in-creased by 7 percent every year since 1990, according to an American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety study. Most drivers will tell you that they "know it when they see it." It is difficult however, to concisely define aggressive driving in one simple statement. Another issue is the distinction between aggressive driving and road rage. The difficulty in de-fining the problem has lead to questions about how prevalent it is and how to research it effectively. To thoroughly examine the issue, however, a clear definition of aggressive driving needs to be established. Once a consistent definition is found, targeting the behavior becomes easier. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as "the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner which endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property." A progression of unlawful driving actions such as speeding, weaving or unsafe passing can constitute "endangers or likely to endanger."

About Lauren SetC("C03"); Background Seven Safe Driving Tips of the Road Left-lane Hogging Whether or not you are going the speed limit is beside the point; failing to yield and let others by creates needless bottlenecks and delays, and it can be a safety issue to the orderly flow of traffic. Moving right and yielding to faster-moving traffic is the right thing to do. In many states, the police are beginning to ticket for those left-lane hogs. So use your rear view mirror and move over when you are traveling or have finished making your pass on slower traffic. Rolling Road Blocks Related to the serious problem of left-lane hogging is that of rolling road blocks. The typical scenario is where a car in the left lane attempts to pass a car in the right lane. Instead of accelerating to overtake the other car, then moving back into the right lane, the rolling road block inches forward at a painfully slow speed and never actually passes, instead just blocking everyone else from passing. Whenever you are in a rush, these obstructions seem to appear like magic. Pay attention by using your mirrors, and if you do attempt a pass, complete it!

The new .08 "per se" law, signed on Monday by Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey when Romney was out of town, will save lives and prevent Massachusetts from losing more than $55 million in federal highway dollars over the next four years. According to Romney, Massachusetts State Police will have 150 extra patrols on the highways this weekend to crack down on aggressive and reckless driving. "Today, Massachusetts has a tough, new drunk driving law on the books," Romney said. "Sadly, for many years, we were the only state without a per se statute. Now, we can proudly take our place with the rest of the nation." Romney said the new law, which he filed in February, stipulates that if a motorist is detected having a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .08 percent or higher, that individual is in fact considered driving under the influence. Before the new measure, Massachusetts law left open the question as to whether or not an individual who has a BAC of .08 or higher is truly intoxicated. In a court of law, .08 percent BAC was evidence of intoxication, but not irrefutable proof.

In conjunction with the Maryland Public Safety Driver Training Facility, local media were invited this morning to witness aggressive driving behaviors and experience what it feels like to be in a car traveling at high speeds, weaving between lanes and running red lights. The Maryland Public Safety Training Center's Driver Training Facility in Sykesville, Maryland, trains officers to look out for the aggressive driving behaviors that make the roads dangerous. The facility offers both a highway and urban driving course, designed to reduce the incidence of police involved in motor vehicle collisions, the resulting operational costs, and most significantly deaths and personal injuries of police officers and citizens. This facility trains 20 percent of Maryland law enforcement officers each year. The Training Center also volunteered their facility for a Smooth Operator-sponsored police video on aggressive driving behaviors. The Smooth Operator - A Law Enforcement Response to Aggressive Driving video will to continue to put vitality into the program by reeducating officers who are out in the field to put an end to these dangerous driving behaviors.
