• Lesson One: Safer Intersections

  According to NHTSA, intersection crashes account for 48 percent of injury-related incidents and generate $101 billion of societal costs each year. In fact, more than 9,100 people died and another 1.5 million people were injured in intersection-related crashes in 2004 alone. Despite improved intersection design and more sophisticated applications of traffic engineering measures, the annual toll of human loss due to motor vehicle crashes has not substantially changed in more than 25 years.

• Did You Know...

  ...that March is National Collision Awareness Month in the United States?
  ...intersection collisions account for 48 percent of all injury-related accidents?*
  ...intersection collisions generate $101 billion of societal costs each year*.

  DriveCam driving risk analysts recently analyzed data from events involving intersection collisions from the previous four years and determined that more than 75 percent of them could have been avoided if drivers were more visually attentive and applied the following fundamental driving rules:

  • Look left-right-left before crossing
  • Come to a complete stop at a stop sign and look before proceeding
  • Look farther ahead

  Don't become complacent and put yourself at risk. Always practice safe driving and remain visually attentive, especially in and around intersections.
