Big City Driver Newsletter FREE ADVERTISEMENT FOR ANY COMPANY WHO HIRES DRIVERS Ken skaggs is publishing a new book dedicated to making your city a safer place to drive. "The Big City Driver" is written by a professional driver with over 2,000,000 safe driving miles logged. Featuring articles on; * rush hour driving, *how to get your CDL, *an overview of the job market for drivers, *climbing the trucking ladder, *attitude is aptitude, *coping with road rage, * timing traffic lights, *doing the math and many other things that many inexperienced drivers just don't think about (yet)! Our world is getting more and more complicated every day, and driving is too. We need to be better educated to survive and thrive. Todays traffic in and around any city is so frustrating because of the drivers that don't know these things (yet). Let's not wait until they get twenty years experience and figure it out for themselves, let's tell them today so they can be a better driver now! For example; many drivers tailgate during rush hour because they believe they will get there sooner. They feel as though they are in line, like at the supermarket and someone is cutting in line in front of them. And they don't want to let someone cut in, because they believe it will slow them down. They don't even consider the fact that this car was probably going to turn anyway. The truth is that you are not in line because everybody is going to a different destination. And ahead of you for miles and miles, cars and trucks are cutting in and out, and it's not slowing you down. That's just the flow of traffic, when you look at the big picture. Seeing the big picture is impossible when you're tailgating. All you can see is a back door. The fact is, about rush hour driving, that you should always leave enough room in front of your vehicle for others to merge into. Enough room in fact, that when someone cuts in front of you, it doesn't even slow you down. You see, it's the tailgaters that cause traffic to stop. The trick is not to stop. When you stop, you make others stop (especially the tailgaters). If everyone around you was keeping a safe following distance, traffic would never stop. Any driver with a few years experience and a little common sense knows this. But, some people are slow learners and some people never get it. It's up to us to teach them. Buy a copy of The Big City Driver for all of your drivers. Then, have a meeting and talk about each page. By listening to your drivers argue and discuss these articles, you can determine who gets it and who doesn't. Also, who is capable of learning and who is too hard headed to learn. The Big City Driver makes many important points in rapid succession and can blow right by someone who reads it too quickly (information overload). For best results, have a meeting and discuss each point. Then everyone gets it and remembers. Good drivers need confirmation, and bad drivers need to wake up. |
