Driver Safety Training VHA Driver Safety – VA 7350 Course Overview The goal of the National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course is to provide drivers with the knowledge and safe driving techniques to prevent collisions and violations. The course focuses on collision prevention through hazard recognition and application of collision avoidance techniques. In addition, the course also addresses common driving violations that result in collisions, and how to change driving habits to eliminate moving violations. Let’s take a brief moment to review the content that will be covered in each Session in this course. In Session 1: Get Defensive About It! you will learn how to: 1. Recognize the need for and benefits of defensive driving. 2. Identify risky driving attitudes and behaviors. 3. Explain what it means to be a defensive driver. 4.

List the three basic steps in the DDC Collision Prevention Formula. In Session 2: Making Driving Choices, you will learn how to: 1. Identify the personal benefits of using occupant protection systems. 2. Explain the affects of alcohol and other drugs on driving ability. 3. Identify physical and mental driver conditions that may affect driving ability. List techniques you can use to maintain control in adverse driving situations. In Session 3: What Conditions Drive You?, you will learn how to: 1. Conduct an exterior and interior vehicle check before driving. 2. Identify five uncontrollable driving conditions that contribute to collisions. 3. Identify the driving hazards associated with these driving conditions in time to avoid them. List defensive driving maneuvers that help drivers maintain control for each uncontrollable driving condition. In Session 4: The Choice Is Yours, you will learn how to: 1. List the six most common types of driving errors that contribute to collisions. 2. Identify reasons drivers choose to speed. 3. List alternatives to speeding. 4. Explain how to safely approach and proceed through all intersections. 5. Explain how to make safe and legal turns. 6. Identify the hazards involved in passing. 7.

State how to determine safe following distance. In Session 5: Infection Control When Transporting a Patient, you will learn how to: 1. Describe how bloodborne diseases are transmitted 2. List the common body fluids that contain other potentially infectious material (OPIM) 3. Identify three risk areas that affect the risk of pathogen exposure 4. Identify ways to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens 5. Describe what to do if you are exposed to blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM) In Session 6: Safely Managing Oxygen Cylinders During Patient Transport you will learn how to: 1. Identify the hazards of transporting oxygen. 2. Describe the safe way of transporting oxygen in a vehicle. In Session 7: Conclusion, the reasons why you have taken this course are reviewed and how this training can be of benefit to you This Defensive Driving Course has been updated much like the vehicles you drive today. It shows you ways to drive safely and responsibly that will become habit as you put them into practice. It provides you with tips for handling what you can control: yourself and your vehicle. It provides you with useful guidelines for coping with everyday driving conditions you cannot control: weather, light, traffic, roads, and other drivers. All these habits can make the difference between life and death, health and injury. We know your experience in this course will be meaningful and, as a result, you will want to be a defensive driver. Session 1 Objectives In this session, you will learn how to: 1. Recognize the need for and benefits of defensive driving. 2. Identify risky driving attitudes and behaviors. 3. Explain what it means to be a defensive driver. 4. Recognize that defensive driving involves both legal and personal responsibilities. 5. Determine if a collision was preventable or non-preventable. 6. List the three basic steps in the DDC Collision Prevention Formula. Introduction Do you think you are a good driver? This course will help you to become more than just a good driver—it will help you become a safe, responsible, Defensive Driver. Many of us think that we are good drivers. However, the facts indicate that we all could improve our driving habits. Let’s take a closer look at what you think about traffic safety. Recognize the need for and benefits of defensive driving. Believe it or not, approximately 40,000 people are killed in traffic collisions each year and 2.3 million people are injured in traffic collisions. Statistically speaking, in your lifetime you will be involved in a collision about every ten years. That’s about six collisions in your lifetime! To most of us, these statistics are just that: numbers. We think that collisions, injury, and death will not happen to us or to someone close to us. But the facts show: it can and does happen every day. When you think of it that way, these numbers become more than statistics; they become a serious threat to you and me. In other words, we need to be not only good drivers but defensive drivers as well. By learning to drive more defensively, we can reduce our chances of being the next statistic. When you are driving, don't just drive for yourself. Drive for the five other people who are important to you. Make it a habit to protect the area around your vehicle so everyone arrives at his or her destination safely. Your attitude toward other drivers and driving usually indicates what you are willing to do to get what you want when you are driving. In other words, your attitudes are your collision-risk factors. The fact is that we all take risks sometimes; and when we do, we temporarily let someone or something else take control of the situation. Before we choose to take a risk and give someone or something else control, we should ask ourselves two questions: 1. Is getting what I want or where I’m going so important that I am willing to risk my life … or other people’s lives? 2. Am I willing to be involved in a collision or get a ticket just to get to work on time, get ahead of someone else, or have some fun? If we answer yes even sometimes to these questions, we also have to accept the responsibility and results of risk-taking behavior. Do you get irritated when other drivers are driving too slowly? In this case, the attitude is reflected in the word irritated. Some drivers might choose to tailgate to get the slower driver to speed up or just to make him or her nervous. Such an attitude contributes to an unsafe behavior, tailgating, which could result in a rear-end collision. If we all lived in a perfect world, driving would be a wonderfully cooperative experience. If everyone would: Pay attention 1. Drive at an appropriate speed 2. Show courtesy toward other drivers We might have no need for a defensive driving course. But the reality is that we do not live in a perfect world. Some drivers seem to be out there on the roads just to make driving more difficult than it should be. In contrast, defensive driving protects us from what is happening around us. Defensive Driving Characteristics. Developing defensive driving habits involves: 1. Making safe and legal driving decisions 2. Creating a stress-free personal driving space in and around your vehicle 3. Driving to your destination safely, without a ticket or a collision, or compromising other drivers’ safety 4. Practicing courtesy, compassion, common sense, and cooperation Recognizing the risks of hazardous driving conditions and behaviors. By definition, DEFENSIVE DRIVING is: “Driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others.” Based on what we have covered so far, the following statements are some of the benefits derived from being a defensive driver. 1. Saving my life and others’ lives in my vehicle or other vehicles 2. Reducing collision-related injuries 3. Saving time by not getting a ticket or being in a collision 4. Saving money (fines, wages, insurance deductibles, insurance rate increases, attorney fees, car rental) 5. Reducing my chances of getting a ticket or being involved in a collision When drivers get into a collision or get a ticket, most have enough excuses to write a book: 1. The road was slippery. 2. Everyone else was speeding. 3. The driver slammed on the brakes and made me hit the car ahead. 4. I didn’t see the STOP sign. 5. The traffic light turned yellow as I was going through the intersection. Sound familiar? We have all probably used some of these excuses. On the other hand, a defensive driver does not have to blame the weather, the road, the traffic, or other drivers when something happens. Often, it seems that you have to drive not only for yourself but for everyone else too. A defensive driver does everything reasonable to avoid a collision or violation. If that means slowing down in bad weather, the defensive driver slows down. If it means letting a problem driver get ahead, the defensive driver lets the problem driver go and does not challenge the action. Defensive driving is not trying to “get back” at someone who cuts us off, and it is not trying to get to the front of the line first.

  • Kentucky Traffic Collision Facts Report Includes a Lot of Vital Information and Statistics Regarding Auto Collisions That Occurred on Our Commonwealth’S Roadways
    2019 REPORT Do you need access to data or advice from a traffic safety expert? If you’d like to ask for help with your project, check out the Kentucky Traffic Data Services. KTSDS.ktc.uky.edu Photos and other images created by the Kentucky Transportation Center or licensed with credits under a standard perpetual license agreement through iStock.com in partnership with Getty Images(US), Inc. Dear Kentuckians: Being transparent is a top priority for my administration, and one way to be transparent is to share available data. The 2019 Kentucky Traffic Collision Facts report includes a lot of vital information and statistics regarding auto collisions that occurred on our commonwealth’s roadways. This report should serve as a reminder to all of us that it is our individual responsibility every time we get behind the wheel to demonstrate the skill and knowledge of safe driving in order to keep ourselves and our fellow Kentuckians safe from harm while operating a vehicle. Unfortunately, I am sad to report our commonwealth lost 732 Kentuckians in 2019 to auto collisions; of which 289 were under the influence of drugs and 135 were under the influence of alcohol. They are people who are truly missed by their family and their friends. These lives lost should reinforce our resolve to do our best every day to protect those around us on the roadways. I want to remind all motorists whether they are new to the road or a seasoned driver to follow these safe practices: • Never text and drive • Don’t operate a vehicle under the influence of any substance • Always buckle up • Observe speed limits By holding ourselves accountable and working together, we will save lives and make our roadways safer for all Kentuckians and visitors to our great commonwealth.

  • “Let Me Tell You My Life in a Song” on Autobiography and Begging in Broadside Ballads of the Blind
    THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIFE WRITING VOLUME VII(2018)34–52 “Let me tell you my life in a song” On Autobiography and Begging in Broadside Ballads of the Blind Karin Strand Svenskt visarkiv/Musikverket, Stockholm Let me tell you my life in a song, for when I remember time seems so long My days are dark, and heavy everything so I beg you: listen when I sing.1 1st stanza of “Lamentation of an invalid” by the former railway worker Karl Joelsson (1870–1953) who lost his sight, his hearing and both hands as he was dynamiting in America 1910. ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH What can street ballads tell us about the lives and realities of “common people”, of experiences “from below”? This article discusses the functional aesthetics and social context of one particular genre that has circulated in ephemeral song prints (skillingtryck) in Sweden: beggar verses of the blind. For centuries, such songs were sold in the streets and at market places as a means for the blind to earn a living, and a major part of them tell the life story, the sad fate, of their protagonists. Many prints declare the genre of autobiography on their very front page, quite literally selling the story of the protagonist’s life and ad- dressing the audience’s compassion. How, then, do these narratives relate to real life? How is individuality and authenticity expressed within a genre that to a large extent relies upon conventions and formulas? As is argued, songs of this kind are a suggestive source material of vernacular literacy, as well as of social and personal history from below.

  • The Bridge January and February 2021
    The Bridge Connecting You with News for the Classroom Notes from the Director’s Desk: January / February 2021 We survived! 2020 was certainly a year of historic firsts - from the weather and the election to our national health crisis and virtual school. Now it is time Meet the Board for a fresh start. As we usher in 2021, we have an opportunity to not only re- flect, but to reset. Recently, I heard and instructor say, “Remember, what fires Katie Harris--Chair together wires together”. This was his way of telling the class that our brain, Gloria Helton -Vice Chair like all the other muscles in our bodies, can be conditioned and strengthened. We are in control……..most of the time. Dr. Loretta Breuning, the founder of the Vacant- Secretary Inner Mammal Institute has spent years studying the brain and mammal interac- Dana Hamrick-Treasurer tion. Her research revealed that we are conditioned from birth to see the neg- Mandi Abernethy ative and overlook the positive. Tracy Daggerhart According to Dr. Breuning, it is a combination of chemistry, everyday triggers Karen Lineberger and conditioning or learned behavior that is the cause of the conflict. We have Karla Terry “happy” chemicals (dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin) which are released when Rachel Washburn we feel good. Then there is our “stress” chemical (cortisol) which is released when we are feeling pain, threatened, or stressed. Of course, when we are feel- Terry Whitworth ing pain, all we are thinking about is the pain. The same thing happens with our negative thoughts. Many of us just keep replaying the negativity or even worse, we share our negativity.

  • ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY NAMES AAA’S Recommendation for Common Naming of Advanced Safety Systems
    JANUARY 2019 ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY NAMES AAA’s recommendation for common naming of advanced safety systems NewsRoom.AAA.com Advanced Driver Assistance Technology Names (this page intentionally left blank) © 2019 American Automobile Association, Inc. 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Technology Names Abstract Advanced Driver Assistance Systems have become increasingly prevalent on new vehicles. In fact, at least one ADAS feature is available on 92.7% of new vehicles available in the U.S. as of May 2018.1 Not only are these advanced driver assistance systems within financial reach of many new car consumers (about $1,950 for the average ADAS bundle2), they also have the potential to avoid or mitigate the severity of a crash. However, the terminology used to describe them varies widely and often seems to prioritize marketing over clarity. The lack of standardized names for automotive systems adds confusion for motorists when researching and using advanced safety systems. The intent of this paper is to create a dialog with the automotive industry, safety organizations and legislators about the need for common naming for advanced driver assistance systems. Within this report, AAA is proposing a set of standardized technology names for use in describing advanced safety systems. AAA acknowledges that this is a dynamic environment, and that further input from stakeholders and consumer research will further refine this recommendation. To date, automakers have devised their own branded technology names which, for example, has resulted in twenty unique names for adaptive cruise control and nineteen different names for lane keeping assistance (section 3.2) alone. A selection of these names is shown in Figure 1.
