2. Don’t Drive Fatigued
Fatigue is one of the main reasons why semi truck accidents happen these days!
You know as well as I do those drivers don’t fall asleep just like that! There is a warning sign first! Signs include blurriness, drowsiness, dizziness, lack of concentration and such. Sleepiness and driving while you feel that way can be a dangerous combination. Fatal!
If you start feeling those signs STOP! Don’t drive fatigued!
Don’t try to fight off fatigue by turning up the radio louder, or by opening a window! It will not work for long!
Instead, stop and prolong the trip for later! Better late than sorry!
Truck drivers these days are well regulated by all the rules and regulations from the agencies. They have hours of service to obey! Those rules are there for a reason. For preventing semi truck accidents!
But you on the other side should know when to stop! Be responsible for yourself as well as for the others.
Fatigue-related semi truck accidents happen all the time. Don’t make yourself part of one, just because you was tired!
3. Buckle Up
Again, safety and precaution its must!
I am not saying that you should be paranoid about what might happen, but you should have that thought always lingering somewhere in your back burner, as soon as you buckle up for the road!
You might be a good and responsible driver, but you never know who drives on the other side of the road, coming your way!
