"Know your safety-circle!"
is an important lenon
.taught Standard of Cali
fornia driven . . . perhaps
it can be helpful to you.
Your safety-circle is the distance you need to meet an emergency
situation a car stopping suddenly ahead, for example. Our drivers
get a special test which tells them exactly how fast they react, but
in general, it takes the average person a full second to see a hazard,
think what to do and act. So, driving on a clear road, at 30 miles
an hour, you should stay at least 7 car lengths behind the car ahead;
when you drive 45 miles an hour, stay behind 13 car lengths.
More than 3,000 Standard drivers have stddicd this and many
other safety principles in our Driver Training Program, besides pass
ing thorough visual examinations. Last year, they drove 41 million
miles with an accident rate 60S lower than the national average
for trucking fleets.
