Car Accident Tips:
Did you know that the roads are slickest just as the rain is starting to fall? This is because all the oils in the street — which weigh less than water — suddenly rise to the top of the asphalt and make the roads extra slippery.
10 Second Rule
Use a 10-second rule when using freeways and streets. To know if you’re following at least 10 seconds behind, locate a stationary object ahead of you. As the vehicle ahead of you passes the stationary object, count to 10. Your vehicle should not have passed the stationary object by the time you’ve counted to 10. This increased distance allows a truck driver to focus on the bigger picture and the road ahead, including an ample reaction time so an accident can be potentially averted.
