Safety Sells

      The word “accident” suggests

 that no-one is at fault. In the world

 of the motor vehicle fatality, that is

 patently not the case. Someone, or

 something, is at fault and

 contributed to the event. Therefore,

 the descriptor of accident is no

 longer applicable.    

    There are some drivers who are

  exceptionally gifted, and there are

  others who will never progress past

  steering, braking and controlling a

  vehicle to an established degree of

  competency. Not everyone wants to

  be a rally driver, and certainly not

  everyone has that unique ability.

  But every driver can be more aware of how an action can influence an outcome, and, in driving, that’s the single best way to reduce our road toll.

Driver awareness, not advanced driving or defensive driving, is the initial key to advancing safety levels on our roads. Knowing what you can do safely, and where your skill set ends, is crucial.
