TRANSPORTATION MATTERS for IOWA

Zero Fatalities Message Monday - Jan. 26, 2015


1-26-message-mondayLife goes by pretty fast, especially when traveling 70 mph down the interstate or on your way to the grocery store.  Always be scanning your surroundings for items that could have an impact on your drive -   animals, signs, pedestrians, stopped vehicles, lane changes - the list goes on and on.  

Notice what’s happening around you.  Observations while driving means more than just seeing things ahead. You need to be able to react appropriately.  Click here for the full web page on driving tips related to being alert.  http://www.drivingtips.org/drivingobservation.html 

Unfortunately, it only takes a split second for bad things to happen.
