Generally states: It is prohibited to type, view, or read texts, s, pictures, etc. while driving.
This includes while you are stopped at stop signs and signals!!!

12. DISTRACTED DRIVING
THE CARELESS DRIVING STATUTE COVERS ALL THESE THINGS. IT STATES:
Any person operating a vehicle on the highway shall give his full time and entire attention to the operation of the vehicle.

13. DISTRACTED DRIVING CARELESS DRIVING CONTINUES TO SAY:
Any person who operates a vehicle in a careless, inattentive or imprudent manner, without due regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic, weather, and road conditions and all other attendant circumstances is guilty of a misdemeanor.

14. INCLEMENT WEATHER
SINCE THE CARELESS DRIVING STATUTE MENTIONS ROAD & WEATHER CONDITIONS WE SHOULD PERHAPS ADDRESS IT!!! HERE WE GO!!!!!

15. 1 LIFE LOST - INATTENTION

16. INCLEMENT WEATHER
THE SLICKNESS OF THE ROAD SURFACE IS REFERED TO AS THE COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
THIS VARIES DEPENDING ON WHAT IS ON THE ROAD
IE: DRY, WET, SNOW, ICE
EACH BRINGS IT’S OWN SET OF CHALLENGES

17. INCLEMENT WEATHER LET’S TALK ABOUT STOPPING DISTANCES
IT TAKES LONGER TO STOP THE MORE SLICK THE ROAD SURFACE IS
CMV’S TAKE 20-30% LONGER REGARDLESS OF ROAD SURFACE
WE WILL ASSUME 100% BRAKING EFFICIENCY FOR THIS EXERCISE

18. INCLEMENT WEATHER
A VEHICLE IS TRAVELLING AT 50 MPH….. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO STOP????

19. INCLEMENT WEATHER DRY SURFACE – (f= .70) – 119 Feet
WET SURFACE – (f = .45) – 185 Feet
PACKED SNOW– (f = .20) – 416 Feet
ICY SURFACE – (f = .10) – 833 Feet

20. INCLEMENT WEATHER BOTTOM LINE OF THIS INFORMATION IS….
SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!

21. INCLEMENT WEATHER AS A SIDE NOTE…..
4 WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT HELP YOU STOP FASTER.
IT ONLY HELPS YOUR VEHICLE TRACK BETTER.
ABS STOPS ONLY MARGINALLY FASTER
ABS DOES ALLOW FOR STEERING DURING A SKID

22. DRY STOPS
WHAT ABOUT STOPPING ON DRY PAVEMENT ONLY???

23. @ 20 MPH = 19 FT @ 40 MPH = 76 FT @ 60 MPH = 171 FT @ 80 MPH = 304 FT
DRY STOPS
@ 20 MPH = 19 FT
@ 40 MPH = 76 FT
@ 60 MPH = 171 FT
@ 80 MPH = 304 FT
@ 100 MPH = 476 FT

24. PERCEPTION / REACTION
PERCEPTION / REACTION TIME IS THE TIME IT TAKES YOUR BRAIN TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING IS WRONG AND DECIDE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
THIS TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TIME IT TAKES TO EXECUTE THE ACTION
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS AROUND 1.5 TO 1.6 SECONDS
THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH BUT LET’S GO FURTHER TO UNDERSTAND

25. PERCEPTION / REACTION
HOW FAST IS 60 MPH?????
PLEASE DESCRIBE………

26. PERCEPTION / REACTION WE NEED TO THINK IN FPS NOT MPH
68 MPH CONVERTS TO 100 FPS!!
THAT’S A FOOTBALL FIELD EVERY 3 SECONDS!!!!
NOW HOW FAST IS IT???????

27. SEATBELTS ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!! DUH.
2007 STUDY IN NM SHOWED 70% OF DECEASED OCCUPANTS COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED BY SEATBLET USAGE!!!
IN 15 YEARS I HAVE YET TO WORK A CRASH WHERE SEATBLETS CAUSED THE FATALITY.

28. 1 LIFE LOST - SEATBELT

29. DWI / DUI LEGAL LIMIT IS .O8 FOR ALCOHOL CMV DRIVER’S IS .04
IMPAIRMENT CAN START AS LOW AS .02.
THIS INCLUDES ALCOHOL LEFT IN YOUR SYSTEM FROM LAST NIGHT!!!!
BUZZING / HANGING IS STILL DWI!!!

30. DWI / DUI THE STATE STATUTE COVERS DRUGS TOO
IT INCLUDES ILLICIT STREET DRUGS AND PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
JUST BECAUSE THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD BE DRIVING

31. 3 LIVES LOST - DUI

32. ANY QUESTIONS???
