More vehicles on the road during summer means a greater chance of an accident, making June, July, and August the three deadliest months of the year<\/a> for traffic fatalities. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), more than 4,000 fatal accidents<\/a>involving large trucks or buses occur yearly. The risk of an accident increases with these vehicles because they have significant blind spots and can\u2019t maneuver as quickly as most cars. And because semi-trucks often weigh up to 80,000 pounds \u2013 or 40 tons of weight \u2013 it\u2019s easy to see why a collision with a smaller, 2-ton vehicle often turns fatal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Road Safety is Everyone\u2019s Responsibility<\/h2>\n

\"what<\/p>\n

Reports from the National Safety Council show a 4 percent decrease in fatal large truck crashes in 2020, but these vehicles still account for 9 percent of all deadly crashes. Even though the inherent limitations make big rigs especially dangerous in road accidents, car drivers cause 72 percent of all collisions between large trucks and passenger vehicles. Driving too fast, improper following, and failing to stay in an appropriate lane are common mistakes drivers make in fatal crashes with semis.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Distracted driving remains a real threat as the number one cause of car accidents in the United States \u2013 ahead of drunk driving, speeding, and every other danger. According to a Governors Highway Safety Association report, texting and other electronic usage cause up to 25 percent of all car crashes. And the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute reports that drivers who text while driving are 23 times more likely to be involved in a car crash.<\/div>\n
No one wants to get the call that their loved one was in a car accident.<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

<\/a>Tips to Practice Safe Driving Habits<\/h2>\n

\"Tips<\/p>\n

With 12 million large trucks and buses crowding America\u2019s highways, passengers and drivers in cars and small vehicles must remain especially vigilant. These tips from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration\u2019s (FMCSA) Our Roads, Our Safety campaign can help drivers be aware of the distinct dangers big rigs pose so everyone can share the road safely.<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Pass safely:<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure you see the truck driver in the mirror before passing and pulling in front. Never pass on a downgrade or from the right lane.<\/li>\n
  2. Never drive under the influence:<\/strong>\u00a0Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and reaction time, which is especially dangerous around enormous vehicles.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t cut it too close:<\/strong> It\u2019s not worth it to cut off a bus or truck. If you move in too quickly, you will likely be in a blind spot.<\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t drive fatigued:<\/strong> Driving when you\u2019re too tired can be as dangerous as being under the influence. Take regular breaks or get another driver to take over.<\/li>\n
  5. Always wear a seatbelt:<\/strong>\u00a0Using safety belts is still one of the most important things you and passengers can do to save lives.<\/li>\n
  6. Stay back:<\/strong>\u00a0Tailgating puts you in a blind spot, and if you fail to stop in time, your vehicle could slide under a truck.<\/li>\n
  7. Be patient:<\/strong>\u00a0Because of their size, trucks accelerate more slowly. Driving aggressively can cause a dangerous situation.<\/li>\n
  8. Stay out of blind spots:<\/strong>\u00a0Large trucks have blind spots on every side. If you can\u2019t see the driver, they probably can\u2019t see you.<\/li>\n
  9. Anticipate wide turns:<\/strong>\u00a0Buses and trucks swing wide and may even start a turn from a middle lane. Give them plenty of distance at intersections.<\/li>\n
  10. Stay focused:<\/strong> Driving distracted can be fatal. Avoid eating, drinking, adjusting the radio, attending to a text, or doing anything that might take your eyes off the road.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
