1) Driving while distracted is a major cause of car accidents, with activities like texting, eating, grooming, and adjusting devices taking drivers' eyes and minds off the road.
2) There are three main types of distractions - visual, manual, and cognitive - and certain activities fall into more than one category.
3) To drive safely, drivers should keep both hands on the wheel, avoid distractions from passengers, and remain focused on looking ahead and checking mirrors frequently.

Sharing the road with trucks can be quite tricky, especially on highways. The massive size and weight of the trucks contribute to the fact that trucks operate differently from other vehicles. Therefore it is important to exercise certain precautions while traveling along the same road as that of a truck.
Most of the traffic accidents can be avoided if you drive safely. “But is it possible at all?” you might ask. What if the accident happened at others fault? What if bad weather was the culprit? What if there were other reasons not under my control that caused the accident? The answer is simple: You can significantly minimize - and in many cases even eliminate - traffic accidents if you drive defensively.
The standard defines defensive driving as "driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others."
Outlined in this presentation 12 Commandments of defensive driving are the recommendations of Pro Defensive Drivers and are based on a solid and proven practice of accident-free driving collected during decades of driving on real roads.

Modelling The Train Accidents At Railroad Crossings In East JavaIOSR Journals
The growing train movement and people activities around the railroad will increase the frequency of
traffic in railroad crossing. This potentially results in the increase in traffic accidents. The prediction of the
number of such accidents is influenced by some factors dealing with variables on sensory psychological
behaviors and the perception of the drivers passing the crossings. Observations were made at 33 points railroad
crossing with not guardrail in East Surabaya DAOP VIII. The responsive variables are determined by the
explaining variables namely the number of train accidents in railroad crossing. The explaining variables are
those determining the value of responsive variables, consisting of three factors namely train engineering
features, road engineering features and environment. The last Poisson regression model possesses four
determining variables significant with the number of accidents, that is the train speed, the distance of signs and
the railroad crossing, flashing lamps and the average daily traffic. The train speed seems to be a primary factor
contributing to the high level of accidents. The results of sensivity analysis show that if the train speed
increases of 50%, the number of accidents will increase 40%. Facilities that should be quickly provided are
among others: provision and installation of flashing lamps and EarlyWarning System (EWS).
Flooding is one of the most devastating natural
disasters in Nigeria. The impact of flooding on human activities
cannot be overemphasized. It can threaten human lives, their
property, environment and the economy. Different techniques
exist to manage and analyze the impact of flooding. Some of these
techniques have not been effective in management of flood
disaster. Remote sensing technique presents itself as an effective
and efficient means of managing flood disaster. In this study,
SPOT-10 image was used to perform land cover/ land use
classification of the study area. Advanced Space borne Thermal
Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) image of 2010 was
used to generate the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The image
focal statistics were generated using the Spatial Analyst/
Neighborhood/Focal Statistics Tool in ArcMap. The contour map
was produced using the Spatial Analyst/ Surface/ Contour Tools.
The DEM generated from the focal statistics was reclassified into
different risk levels based on variation of elevation values. The
depression in the DEM was filled and used to create the flow
direction map. The flow accumulation map was produced using
the flow direction data as input image. The stream network and
watershed were equally generated and the stream vectorized. The
reclassified DEM, stream network and vectorized land cover
classes were integrated and used to analyze the impact of flood on
the classes. The result shows that 27.86% of the area studied will
be affected at very high risk flood level, 35.63% at high risk,
17.90% at moderate risk, 10.72% at low risk, and 7.89% at no
risk flood level. Built up area class will be mostly affected at very
high risk flood level while farmland will be affected at high risk
flood level. Oshoro, Imhekpeme, and Weppa communities will be
affected at very high risk flood inundation while Ivighe, Uneme,
Igoide and Iviari communities will be at risk at high risk flood
inundation level. It is recommended among others that buildings
that fall within the “Very High Risk” area should be identified
and occupants possibly relocated to other areas such as the “No
Risk” area.

10 ways to prevent rollover accident injuriesMatt Stan
Car accidents are devastating no matter what type they are, but rollover accidents can cause numerous injuries and be particularly deadly at the same time. Rollover accidents occur when the vehicle’s center of gravity is thrown off and the car turns either on its side, its roof, or completely over.
With the roads becoming increasingly more dangerous, it’s never been more crucial to practice safe driving. Here are some tips on how to stay out of harm’s way while behind the wheel.
You can’t control the actions of other drivers. But updating your defensive driving skills can help you avoid the dangers caused by other people’s bad driving. So before you get behind the wheel of that two-ton frame of glass and steel, here are some tips to help you stay in control:
2. INTRODUCTION.
There is always a temptation (especially on long drives) to try to get work done or find interesting
entertainment while driving.
The trouble is that we can become overconfident in our use of radios, navigation systems or cell phones
while driving. Many of you may have seen drivers: reading, applying makeup, shaving, eating lunch (with
both hands) and doing other weird activities while trying to drive a car.
This is a growing problem in the United States (and around the world). Recent studies suggest that
about 10% of all fatal crashes are due, in part, to drivers who were simply not paying attention to their
driving. Nearly a quarter of all crashes—both fatal and nonfatal—were caused in part by distracted
drivers.

3. So what is a distraction(Q1)?
A thing that prevents someone from concentrating on something else.
(according to google).
Inattention versus Distraction?
Inattention is when your mind is focused on something other than driving – planning your next
delivery, thinking about your family, etc. This is very dangerous as your reaction time will be much
longer than normal if an emergency manoeuvre is needed to avoid a collision. Inattention is often
referred to as “carelessness”.
Distraction typically comes from an external source – billboard messages, radio programs, reaching
to steady a tipping mug of coffee, adjusting controls, etc.

4. Types of distraction.
There are three main types of distraction:
● Visual — taking your eyes off the road.
● Manual — taking your hands off the wheel.
● Cognitive — taking your mind off what you’re doing.

5. Q & A(Q2).
Please categorize the following distractions Into the
three main types(V.M.G).
Texting
Using a cell phone or smartphone
Eating and drinking
Talking to passengers
Grooming
Reading, including maps
Using a navigation system
Watching a video
Adjusting a radio, CD player, or MP3 player

6. General Tips To Maintain Focus
● Keep both hands on the wheel
● Minimize distractions from passengers (avoid talking while driving)
● Avoid taking your eyes off the road
● Check your mirrors frequently – this moves your head and eyes and updates you on
conditions around your vehicle
● Think about a path of safe escape if a dangerous situation occurs suddenly in front
of your vehicle – Rear End collisions are very common for inattentive or distracted
drivers
● Be especially careful near construction zones – traffic patterns can change suddenly,
large equipment may merge and the altered road surface can affect control

7. DO - Stay Safe:
● Use a seat belt at all times – driver and passenger(s).
● Adjust your driving for the conditions, including traffic, weather, pedestrians, rough roads and degree
of light.
● “Drive defensively”*( It is also important to be aware of other drivers who may be distracted, whether
you’re driving or are a pedestrian. Being aware of those around you can help you drive defensively
and protect yourself. Follow company driving policies.
● Use a hands-fee device for phone use if you have to use the phone while driving.
● Be well-rested before driving.
● Avoid taking medication that makes you drowsy before driving, including prescription and over the-
counter drugs.
● Set a realistic goal for the number of miles that you can drive safely each day.

8. Stay Calm When Driving
● Emotional upset can be very distracting – your mind may focus on the stressful issue rather
than the highway and surrounding traffic.
● Don’t “respond” to aggressive drivers actions – they are trying to play an emotional mind game
that could lead to injury or death – ignore them or seek help from the police.
Avoid “Rubber-necking” or “Gawking” at Crashes, Fire Scenes, etc.
● Avoid slowing down to look at a crash or other activity.

9. If You Must Use a Cell Phone:
● Know and practice your company’s policy on cell phones and driving – NO EXCEPTIONS
● When possible to do so safely, pull off the road and stop in a safe place before using
your phone
● Avoid distracting or complicated conversations – even if you use a hands-free device!
● Let the person you're talking to know that you're driving; if necessary, call them back later
if you are in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
● Never take notes or look up phone numbers while driving
● Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversation that might divert your attention
from the road

10. Summary
At 45 miles per hour, a driver glancing away for two seconds is driving blind for a distance
of 132 feet—almost half the length of a football field. As a result, the driver’s reaction time
is shortened dramatically. Looking away from the road, reaching to pick up something from
the floor, or letting your attention focus on anything other than driving can have
immediate, deadly consequences.
Stay focused. Plan ahead. Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid the temptation to “get lost”
in conversations, talk radio programs or respond to aggressive drivers. Talk to your
managers, family and friends about other ways to avoid distraction or inattention while
driving.
Safety First has additional information on: Cell Phone Use, Aggressive Drivers and
Drowsiness if you have additional concerns.
