Sharing the Road
The number of crashes involving at least one car and one truck averages over 200,000 per year in the US. That number grows even higher when considering crashes involving motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The frequency of these incidents makes it clear that drivers need to be made aware of the unique handling and performance abilities and limitations of the different vehicle types. Armed with this knowledge, drivers may then tailor their driving to the conditions present when driving in the vicinity of these other vehicles. There are a different set of factors to consider, for example, when driving near a large truck than when driving near a motorcycle factors such as the different vehicle sizes, their different performance abilities and limitations, and the different stopping distances they require. These are the kinds of factors that the course aims to review.
