Road Safety is No
Accident!

Every year many people are killed or injured on our
roads in what some call accidents, but are they
accidents?
Often, auto and truck collisions are not so much
accidents as predictable incidents, perhaps someone's
momentary lack of judgment, temporary distraction,
improper training or a thousand other explanations that
may result in a crash.

Every driver is responsible for their own actions on the
road but they must also drive defensively and watch for
the other guy in case another driver does something
unexpected, weather or road conditions change or a
mechanical problem develops.
Drivers can take various steps to decrease their
likelihood of being involved in a collision. The
following pages discuss topics dealing with road safety,
trucking, freight security and provide tips and
recommendations on avoiding collisions on our roads.
Always leave a little extra space between vehicles and
use a little extra caution on the roads at all times to
ensure you reach your destination safely, without
incident.
