2A | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2018 | SIUSLAW NEWS T HE R ECORD ODOT announces start of studded tire season The studded tire season in Oregon began Thursday, Nov. 1, and continues through March 31, 2019. ODOT encourages drivers to consider other types of trac- tion tires or chains. If you must travel when weather conditions present difficulties, use other types of traction tires or chains, or postpone your travel until conditions change for the bet- ter. ODOT’s latest study (2014) concluded studded tires cause about $8.5 million in damage each year on state highways. Alternatives to studded tires • Chains: Link chains, cable chains or other devices that attach to the wheel, vehicle, or outside of the tire that are spe- cifically designed to increase traction on snow and ice. Driv- ers should note that link chains may not be recommended for use on some types of vehicles; check your owner’s manual. • Other traction tires: Other types of traction tires are avail- able. These traction tires meet Rubber Manufactur-ers Asso- ciation standards for use in se- vere snow conditions and car- ry a special symbol on the tire sidewall showing a three-peak- ed mountain and snowflake. They work about as well as studded tires on ice, but work better than studded tires or reg- ular tires in most other winter conditions. And they cause no more damage to road surfaces than regular tires. Know before you go: Please visit www.TripCheck.com or call 511 for the latest road con- ditions. Time change requires preparation for drivers SALEM — It’s not the time change that bothers us (some say we’re getting an extra hour this time of year — doesn’t mat- ter); it’s the impact on circadian rhythm or the physical, mental and behavioral changes that fol- low our typical 24-hour cycle. Disturbance of this cycle, ac- cording to the National Safety Council, is a key risk factor for safety incidents. In the trans- portation industry, that means crashes. And no good comes out of any kind of crash. Safety advocates encourage drivers prepare for this Sun- day’s time change by adjusting sleep habits a few days ahead of the change itself. That way, you’ll reduce the impact to your circadian cycle. “Getting a good night’s sleep is the best way to fend off drowsy driving,” said Troy E. Costales, ODOT’s Safety Divi- sion administrator. And getting a couple of good night’s sleep in a row is even better. Over the past five years in Oregon, 51 people have died in 48 crashes where drowsy driving or fatigue was a fac- tor. 2016 was an especially bad year, when 15 people died in 12 drowsy driving-related crashes. Our strong economy, more traffic on the roads and peo- ple trying to get a lot done in a short time can all contribute to creating a tired driver. Oregon’s numbers show the trend in drowsy driving is heading the wrong way (see attached chart) — and that’s a tragedy waiting to happen. Adults generally need seven to nine hours of sleep to achieve peak performance, but research indicates 3-in-10 get less than six hours, according to NSC. Everyone knows you don’t drive after drinking, and it should be the same when you are tired: take personal responsibility and don’t get behind the wheel in the first place. DrowsyDriving.org has im- portant information to help you, your friends and family avoid fatigued driving.
