Sign the Resolution Contents Feedback Search ... Drugs and Driving Effect of Drunken Driving on Traffic Safety Dr. VS Batra* and Dr. RB Lal Bedi** ** Jallandhar (Pb.) India ABSTRACT The driver's task on the road is very tough. During the journey, he has to overtake many slow vehicles, allow faster vehicles to overtake, move parallel to other vehicles in the adjacent lanes and Co-op. with heterogeneous traffic which cross the road at random. He has to maintain his presence of mind to take many important decisions in a split of a second. His task becomes all the more challenging in situation of high density traffic and at peak hours. A drunken driver cannot perform his task without risk and would endanger traffic safety. Alcohol affects the Central Nervous System of the driver. Even at a level of 0.05 percent alcohol in blood, the sense of judgement is impaired and the ability to control steering is affected. It is an established fact that abuse of alcohol results in increased incidence of traumatic vehicular injuries and deaths. Effect of drunken driving on traffic safety has been discussed in this paper. Recommendations have been made for reducing accidents on Indian Roads due to drunken driving.

9. Driving In Germany- Traffic Laws & Regulations GENERAL laws. traffic drives on the right and passes on the left. However, youmay not use a child safety seat in the front seat if there is an airbag. http://home.att.net/~texhwyman/regeln.htm

Home Getting Around Germany Driving www.texhwyman.com/regeln.htm Below is a rather complete overview of the German traffic code based on my interpretation. This information is from a variety of sources including the 1987 Fahren Lernen driver's education manual and the 1993 official Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (Road Traffic Ordinances) distributed by the Federal Transport Ministry as well as numerous contributions by readers. Special thanks to Tino Haderlein and Wolfgang Meyenberg for their review of these pages. CONTENTS Licensing General laws Right-of-way Speed limits Parking regulations Urban traffic regulations Traffic calming zones Autobahn traffic regulations Special prohibitions Accidents The most important section here for foreigners is the right-of-way discussion. LICENSING If you are visiting Germany and will not be establishing residency, then your current driver's license is valid in Germany indefinitely. If you will be residing in Germany, your driver's license is valid for six months from the date when permanent residency is established. After that, you will have to obtain a German driver's license. (If your residency will be for longer than six months but less than one year [you will need proof of this], you can obtain a six month extension to use your existing license.) If you're using a foreign license to drive in Germany, you're supposed to carry an official translation of your license in addition to the license itself, but if you speak the language well enough, I've found that you should be OK. If you should get into a situation where you need to have a translation, you can get one from the ADAC automobile club for about €40. If you want to have a bit of "insurance", you can take care of this before arriving by getting an International Driver's License (IDL) in your home country. In the US, these are available from AAA for about US$20. (My recommendation: get an IDL before you go better safe than sorry.) Keep in mind that an IDL does not replace your official driver's license it is just a translation of it in an internationally recognized format. You must carry your official license with your IDL.

The Coalition has its own website, www.teamcoalition.com which provides information on current members, future training sessions and background information on TEAM. The collegiate facility alcohol management training program, " TEAM on Campus ," is currently on hold. The coalition is analyzing some information collected from colleges to help determine the best implementation strategies. The committee will develop those recommendations in the near future. Future plans of the TEAM Coalition include continuing the national, statewide and collegiate facility alcohol management training program. TEAM will also be developing a new fan education component for the TEAM Training package. These materials will support TEAM training, so that fans are educated on a facility's alcohol policies and practices.

Home News Programs Crash Data ... Clipart Traffic Enforcement The Facts: In 2001, there were 477 fatalities and more than 91,000 injuries and $6.3 billion in economic loss from motor vehicle crashes on Massachusetts roadway. Many motor vehicle crashes could be avoided if motorists better observed traffic laws and showed more patience behind the wheel. The effects of crashes could be reduced or prevented with greater use of safety belts, booster seats and child safety seats. The best-documented causes of motor vehicle-related fatalities in Massachusetts are alcohol use (50%) and speed (36%). Other causes include aggressive, distracted, drowsy driving and driver inexperience/error. Safety belts reduce the risk of death or serious injury in a crash by half. Yet in 2002, only 51% of Massachusetts residents buckled up as compared to 75% of the nation’s drivers.

NH Highway Safety Agency Publication New Hampshire Bicycle Laws and Safety Guidelines sponsored by New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency Prevent Bicycle Accidents A Message for Parents A bicycle is not a toy. It's a vehicle! Males are five times more likely to be killed as bicyclists than females. More than half of all bicyclist deaths occur to school age youth (ages 5-17). Most bicyclist deaths result from bicycle-motor vehicle collisions. But injuries can happen anywhere - in parks, bike paths, and driveways and often do not involve motor vehicles. Head injuries are the most serious injury type and are the most common cause of deaths among bicyclists. The most severe injuries are those to the brain that cause permanent damage. Studies have proven that bicycle helmet use can significantly reduce head injuries. How can you help stop these tragedies? Buy your child an approved bike helmet. Purchase one that has a sticker inside certifying the helmet meets standards of the Snell Memorial Foundation and/or the American National Standards Institute (ANSIZ90.4). Let your child help pick out the helmet because it must be worn every time he/she rides. If you're a rider, buy one for yourself, too, and set a good example by wearing it. Also encourage your child's friends to wear helmets.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY OPERATIONS GUIDE General Vehicle Safety Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death and crippling injury in the United States. Traffic safety laws are important components of vehicle safety, but the most important aspect of vehicle safety is the driver. IMPORTANT: All UTSA employees who operate a motor vehicle for company business (whether a company vehicle, rental vehicle, or personal vehicle) must possess a valid state driver's license for their vehicle's class. The University Police Department is responsible for regulating moving vehicles and bicycles on university property. In addition all vehicles and drivers thereof must comply with UTSA Parking and Traffic Regulations. To ensure driving safety, follow these driving practices: Never drink and drive. Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. Obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals. Respond to dangerous driving conditions as appropriate. Maintain a safe distance between your car and any car in front of you. Allow at least one car length for each 10 MPH (e.g., three car lengths if you are driving 30 MPH). It should be noted that the maximum speed limit on the UTSA Campus is 20 MPH and less in some areas. The speed limits are clearly posted. Keep your eyes moving to avoid fatigue, especially if you plan on driving for a long period.
