Driver Safety Issues Driver SpaceBackingIntersectionsBad WeatherPassing“The Other Guy”

Driver Space DO NOT TAILGATE – Always keep asafe driving distance between you andthe next vehicle Leave plenty of space in front of astopped vehicle When stopped, keep an eye on the carbehind you, if you think you may berear-ended, flash your brake lights

Backing Always ensure that ground guides areused when vehicles are moved in closeproximity of people, vehicles, buildings,or other fixed assets (dumpsters, lightpoles, bollards). It is the responsibility of the vehicleoperator to ensure that a ground guide ison site before attempting to move thevehicle.

Backing Continued If no FM personnel are available to assistwith backing, the vehicle operator shouldcontact their foreman by phone or radioand request assistance.

Intersections Most accidents occur at intersections. As you approach any uncontrolledintersection, never assume the other driveris going to yield. When approaching an intersection where thelight has been green for a while, be preparedto brake. When the light turns green, be sure and takea look around – don’t trust that everyoneelse has stopped. Always watch for pedestrians atintersections.

Bad Weathero Visibility is hampered by rain, fog, and snow,so SLOW DOWN!o Use low beam headlights: high beams makeit harder to see.o If your car goes into a skid, DO NOT BRAKEbut take your foot off the accelerator.o Slow down as you approach bridges andoverpasses in the winter. These sectionsfreeze first and stay frozen long after the sunhits them.

Passing Make sure you are in a passing zone.Be certain there is no oncoming traffic.Check behind you for other passing vehicles.When all blind spots are clear, signal your pass.Move into the passing lane and accelerate.When you can see the front tires of the vehicleyou are passing in your rear-view mirror, signalyour move back into the original lane.

”The Other Guy” Always keep your eye on other drivers. Don’t assume that they know what they’redoing. Never assume you have the right-of-waywithout assessing the situation. Yield to anaggressive driver. Use your horn if you must to signal to otherdrivers.

Safe Truck Operation Be sure all materials in the bed aresecured. The load should not obstruct your viewor mirrors. The load should not extend past thefront of the hood. Loads extending past the rear bumpermust be flagged.

Hauling Trailers Safelyo Side mirrors must allow for full rear view– extension mirrors may be necessary.o Avoid hard turns: turn slow and wide.o Be aware of shifting loads.o When backing, use spotters and watchout for pedestrians and otherobstructions.o Avoid hard braking – start breakingearlier than normal.o Do not exceed the trailer’s weightcapacity. (Ask the garage what it is.)

A few more important tips Always wear your seatbelt.Always look out for pedestrians.Obey traffic signals/signs/laws.Do not use your cell phone whiledriving. Always use turn signals. Plan your route ahead of time. Do not drive when you’re sleepy.
