Road Watch asks what you're willing to lose This year's holiday season is fast approaching. During the holidays, drivers tend to be distracted by additional passengers and the anticipation of holiday activities. Driver distraction combined with the general increase in traffic volume amplifies the potential for dangerous, aggressive driving and motor vehicle collisions, Road Watch encourages Huron County road-users to show extra caution this year while travelling to and from holiday destinations. The Nerves of Steel Aggressive Driving Study, commissioned by the Canada Safety Council and the The Steel Alliance indicates that many Canadians seem to take the driving task for granted. Although Canadians believe that aggressive driving is a safety concern, 88 per cent of those surveyed admit to at least one act of aggressive driving in the past year. Speeding and running traffic lights or stop signs remain the most common aggressive behaviours. Stress is the main reason given for aggressive Today's pace of life leads drivers to multi-task while driving in the car; 87 per cent of drivers surveyed become frustrated when they see other drivers multi-tasking on the road — eating, shaving, putting on make-up, using cell phones and laptops, or reading. However, an alarming 76 per cent of survey respondents admit to having multi-tasked while driving. Not only are drivers distracted, they are also drowsy; nine per cent of those surveyed have fallen asleep, while 54 per cent reported feeling drowsy while driving in the last year. Fundamental rules of the road are broken in an attempt to ft more and more into a day, even if it jeopardizes their safety. In order to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities from motor vehicle collisions in Huron County, Road Watch reminds drivers. to slow down, look first, buckle up. and drive sober. By thinking safety first, the chance of losing a loved one or being injured on the road decreases significantly. Make this holiday season one to remember, not one you cannot forget.
