Passengers Have Claims in Single-Vehicle Crashes
Research cited by the consumer activist group Safer America revealed that “58 percent of police-reported fatal car accidents involved only one vehicle.”
Alcohol and Drug Testing of Truck Drivers
In practice, operators of tractor-trailers, tanker trucks, etc. should never be anything but stone cold sober when they take the wheel.
Avoid Distracted Driving
Drivers must take personal responsibility to go handsfree with devices, use devices sparingly (if at all) and commit to keeping their focus on the essential tasks of controlling their vehicle and protecting themselves and others.
