Today I passed at least 15-20 cars driving in very thick fog with NO lights on! For Christ sake if you're going to drive, switch on your lights AND your fog lights!

Important. Please share!

Excellent Driving Tip:
A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago. It was raining, though not excessively when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence! When she explained to the Police Officer what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know!

NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON...

She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain....
But the Police Officer told her that if the cruise control is on, your car will begin to hydro-plane when the tires lose contact with the road, and your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the Officer that was exactly what had occurred. The Officer said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor.

NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR ICY

Along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed – but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the road is dry.
The only person the accident victim found who knew this, (besides the Officer), was a man who'd had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries..
NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.
Even if you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about it, it's still worth it. You may have saved a life.

Working at Heights! Some people really have no idea what they're doing!!

This scene met one our inspectors yesterday on a routine site visit. What’s wrong with this picture? Where do we start!

- This was a non-integrated working platform that was incompatible with the teleporter
- The platform was also found to be defective as it had a broken gate
- The worker on the roof was not using a harness, nor was there any fall protection (he was 6 meters up!)
- There was nobody in the drivers cab of the teleporter

A prohibition notice was issued and all work on the site was stopped.
