Fatalities are up this year with 345 persons killed on our roadways this year as compared to 313 at this time last year. That's a 9% increase at this point. That's not good!
What's going on? We can't blame the departure of Kendell Poole and Jim Camp forever, can we?
140 of the 345 fatal crashes included one particular factor. They included a driver failing to maintain a lane of travel.
That's 40% of fatal crashes! That's a lot of death and destruction!
Why are so many people leaving their lanes? Perhaps we need to start looking at lane departure as a danger like DUI.
Defense attorneys often ask officers on the stand all the excuses they have ever heard for people leaving their lane. They aren't all under the influence. They are dangerous!
