The Vehicle Safety Technology Paradox: Don’t Forget, You’re the One in Control
If advanced-driver-assist system (ADAS) technologies are installed on all vehicles, it can potentially prevent more than 2.7 million crashes, 1.1 million injuries and nearly 9,500 deaths each year according to a report by AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. However, it also warns that many drivers are unaware of the current safety limitations. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety notes that lack of understanding or confusion about the proper function of these ADAS technologies can lead to misuse or over-reliance, which could result in deadly crashes.

Install the Hottest Vehicle Safety Tech ― Upgrade to a Skilled Driver
Fleet operators are perplexed. In the past few years sizable investments have been made in equipping vehicles with the newest safety technologies, implementing telematics, perhaps trying predictive analytics, increasing the frequency of Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) runs and adding other types of sophisticated, magic-button solutions. However, even though the year-over-year increases of crashes have leveled off, the U.S. has still seen three straight years of at least 40,000 roadway deaths.

REAR-END COLLISIONS: One of the most important things to do while driving is looking where you want to go—not at the bumper of the car ahead. If there is pending danger ahead, such as a stopped vehicle or slowing traffic, you’ll see the situation sooner and have additional time to react safely. By looking farther ahead, you can begin braking earlier and potentially avoid a rear-end collision.
