In a red light camera program, a camera is installed in a location where it can take photos or video of vehicles as they pass through the intersection. City employees or private contractors then review the photos. If a vehicle is in the intersection when the light is red, then a ticket is sent to the person who registered the vehicle. These programs aim to reduce cross-street collisions. The idea is that drivers, fearing a higher chance that they will be fined, will be more likely to stop, lowering the number of angles, or "T-bone," accidents. The evidence clearly shows that camera programs are effective at decreasing the number of vehicles running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67%. However, cameras can have contradictory effects on traffic safety. Some drivers who would have otherwise continued to proceed through the intersection when the light is yellow or red will now attempt to stop. That means that the number of accidents caused by vehicles not stopping at a red light will likely decrease. But the number of accidents from stopping at a red light – such as rear-end accidents – is likely to increase. That’s not an inconsequential side effect. Some drivers will attempt to stop, accepting a higher risk of a non-angle accident like getting rear-ended, in order to avoid the expected fine. The overall effect of a camera program on vehicle accidents and injuries depends on the net impact of these two effects. Overall driver safety could increase or decrease.

Cameras for traffic monitoring are placed in locations where there are complex intersections, traffic congestion, or locations with weather hazards. The cameras used for such purposes are digital and transmit low resolution pictures from a pole usually about 30 feet or more above the location. Some of these cameras have Internet connectivity, and display their output for public review of traffic conditions. There are also websites where you can search for cameras in your area to check weather and other traveling considerations. A public front end for finding cameras in many geographic regions can be found here. Although these cameras are not sophisticated enough to record the plates of a vehicle, other distinguishing characteristics such as model, make and color of the vehicle are easily identified.

Every time you get behind the wheel, you're operating a very dangerous piece of machinery. Whether you're an experienced driver or you've just finished driver's ed class, there's always room for improvement when it comes to driving. Here are ten things you can do to hone your safe, smart driving skills. Not only can online driving courses save you money on your car insurance or take points off your driving record, they're actually pretty good refresher courses for anyone who's been driving for a while and the answers to those driver's license tests are just a hazy memory. Parking is (usually) easy once you get the hang of it, but in tight spots or when you're new to driving backwards, it helps to know a few tricks. Here's an infographic on parallel, reverse, and forward parking; and step-by-step directions for parallel parking. If you'd like even more help when parking, consider these DIY sonic sensors for your car. For decades, driving instructors taught students to keep their hands on the steering wheel at the 10 and 2 positions on the clock. In the last few years, those guidelines have changed, so you're now supposed to keep your hands lower, at either 9 and 3 or 8 and 4. This gives you more control and stability when driving, and is also the most ergonomic position to hold your hands for long periods of time. Muscles more relaxed and having more control over your vehicle? Instantly, you're a better driver.

We all know the dangers of driving after drinking, but a serious lack of sleep could also impair you just as much (some people even sleep drive!)—and one out of every six fatal crashes involved a drowsy driver, according to a study in 2010. Any time your mental facilities could be compromised—whether from alcohol, poor sleep, new medication, or even having a horrible cold—is a time to stay off the road or find an alternative to driving. We all want to get to our destinations sooner, but all speeding really does is increase your risk of getting into an accident or getting a speeding ticket, it turns out. Here's the math behind it, and why you're better off just driving at or below the recommended speeds. Inefficent lane merging causes traffic, road rage, and accidents. Some people are aggressive lane cutters, while others politely take their place in a lane long before an exit. The best, most efficient solution for all of us is to stay calm and zipper merge, each one taking our turn.

It was in Feb 16th, How To Be Good Car Driver Traveling Alone. For a start, I’m very serious about all the points here. I’m laying them out because not every driver seems to be aware. Here: Get to know your car. Read the manual. Take the car out and do braking maneuvers (where allowed and safe). Take the car out and see how it reacts in rain or in snow. Few people know how their cars react in adverse conditions. That’s where we need to know them the most though, and where we learn the most. A few months back I shared on Google+ how mirrors should be set up. It appeared to me that the few responses were coming from “oh, well I know how to set up mirrors on a car.” Maybe. That just stands in contrast to what we observe out there, where we rarely if ever see mirrors adjusted correctly. From Skip Barber: Make sure the side view mirrors perform their intended function. They’re meant to view beside the car, not the side of the car. What do you really need to see; your rear bumper or the car in the next lane? Adjust the side mirrors out just so you can no longer see the side of your own car. This should help reduce traditional blind spots. I learned this the “hard” way, maybe ten years ago, when a good friend of mine teased me, to tears, because of my mirror setup. I now promise to give anyone here the same sort of tough love when I find them watching their own car in the mirrors. Once set up right, mirrors become even more useful. This just for the folks who simply never use their turn signals: Sometimes they’re actually important, so please learn to tell when that’s the case. They don’t matter as much when nobody’s around, or doing the same thing. But if there’s somebody around and not doing the same thing, use turn signals. It can actually be dangerous not to use them. Simply watching the car in front is not safe, and gets unsafer and unsafer the shorter the following distance is. Try to look ahead and see what’s coming up 200, 500, or 1,000 meters ahead. One does still, immediately notice if the person in front is doing something unexpected, like braking unnecessarily because they don’t keep a sufficient distance. The habit of looking ahead led me to dislike trucks and SUVs in front because they block too much of the view. I either increase my following distance—or try to pass. The first option is the better one. The second option is the one that people sometimes confuse for… aggression. Well. I think this is one of the most important qualities to have as a driver: Show responsibility for other traffic participants. I’ve seen what appear to be the most rowdy drivers zoom through traffic and they were safer to have around then the grocery shopper. Why? Because the zoomer was paying attention and anticipating everybody else’s move, while the shopper didn’t even know the color of his own vehicle. It’s also something that I observed as a main difference between cultures: People exhibit very different levels of responsibility. One might enter Italy or Poland and think, “oh shucks, this traffic is crazy,” while all what happened really was that the chaos dial got increased—but also the responsibility dial. I found that the more rules people follow, the less responsibility they take. (Which may hold true in other areas as well.) Don’t get carried away. If the person behind you honks, maybe they don’t mean you but the guy both of you are waiting for, the one who’s just for the love of it not ready enough to use the green phase. Or it is indeed about you. It happens. But in any case, let’s wait with gestures until we’re sure what was going on. (This is also a little note to self.)

It was in Feb 14th , Expert Driver Record His Driving Skills Throw Old Town Become a professional driver! There are many professional driving jobs available that don't require a commercial license, but you can go that route as well, which will require some of that education I mentioned before. My first job was as a delivery driver for a flower shop in a semi-rural area, way back in 1985. I drove my parents' cars, a VW Beetle, or an International Scout (lol, great truck). Compared to today's cars, and today's driving situations, this was more difficult. We didn't have navigation systems (I had a wrinkly well used map), steering on the VW was manual, and rural areas are difficult to deliver in. I learned good car control and I learned to think about navigation and plan my routes to avoid surprises. I think that's a lesson many people need to learn. Cutting off a whole line of traffic because you forgot your exit was right here, is super dangerous. I've also delivered pizza for probably a few years total, at different times when I needed work . Take every driving experience seriously and learn from it when you can. If someone cuts you off, instead of getting mad and possibly missing something, take a minute to see if maybe you could have let them in, maybe they had their signal on, and you were being a dick about it. Drive defensively, and learn to anticipate what other drivers will do. Study driver behavior in your area and learn how to avoid problems before they happen. Finally, mount a dash-cam so you can go over the crazy stuff to try to understand it. I understand why this happened now... Just an observation when looking for parking: Read the signs. I can’t count the number of times when, at busy times and in crowded neighborhoods, there were perfectly valid and legit parking spaces because people didn’t read the signs, and didn’t realize that that temporary “no parking” thing was only going to be in effect starting the next day. Or was until 4 pm. Or just got forgotten. Anyone driving a car, drive. Independent of the carefully crafted suggestions in this post, ultimately it’s about using the car for what it’s there for: to drive. We should enjoy it. It’s fun. Let’s try to regard a car as more than just something to get from A to B. Maybe we can focus more on how we can use it to get from A to B. Let’s get better at it. Let’s become safer. Let’s become more responsible. Let’s become more efficient. Let’s become better drivers.
