Safety Tip: Keep a Safe Distance

 
Following too closely is defined as, “a situation in which one vehicle is following another vehicle so closely that even if the following driver is attentive to the actions of the vehicle ahead he/she could not avoid a collision in the circumstance when the driver in front brakes suddenly.”
 
How do you know if you're following too closely?
 
Use The 3-second Following Distance Rule:

• Choose a fixed point that is even with the car in front of you. For example, a road sign or a building. If you reach that fixed point before you can count to three, then you are following too close.
• Note: The 3-second rule allows for a safe following distance when the road is dry and straight.
• If the road is wet, icy, curvy, or visibility is limited, then you need to increase your following distance.

You must be aware of your surroundings and create enough room in case something goes wrong. When on a street with many side roads, you need to anticipate the driver in front of you making a turn. When you approach an intersection, always be prepared for the car in front of you to make a quick stop in case the light turns yellow. When driving around a sharp turn, leave enough room for the vehicle in front of you to brake to handle the turn.

PSI Safety: Backing Techniques

One out of every four accidents can be blamed on poor backing techniques, according to the National Safety Council. PSI employees are acutely aware that poor backing can result in costly damage, serious injury or even fatality. Our staff is trained to recognize that backing accidents are always preventable if the driver is properly trained – and prudent.

Our drivers are taught that those who practice defensive driving will never take any situation for granted, but will observe and judge each parking requirement on its own. Even though backing into a particular parking spot a dozen times, PSI drivers look and evaluate the same spot each time to be sure of clearances and to make certain no new obstacles are in the way.

Tips for backing techniques:

• -      Practice, practice, practice
• -      Be aware of the big blind spot – use all your mirrors
• -      Move backwards at a “crawl”
• -      If needed, get out of the car and walk around to inspect any hazards
• -      Have a co-worker (or passenger) help you maneuver

Many accidents can be avoided if drivers practice defensive parking. For more information about Parking Solutions’ safe drivers, visit www.ParkingSolutionsInc.com.
