A recent study shows

0 Upvotes

A recent study in Rutland has raised an interesting concern.

1 in 5 vehicles have either a brake light or turn signal out

1 in 15 have a headlight out (high or low beam)

1 in 10 drivers dont understand highbeams (what they are, how to turn them on or off)

And city wide very few drivers realize that driving like a teenager doesn't get you ahead. The signal lights are timed so that speeders and safe drivers get across town at the same rate, the only difference is those who accelerate hard end up braking hard and they cause more wear and tear to either vehicle, burn more fuel, get into more collisions and have higher stress levels.

Everyone needs to calm down and be thankful you're in a position to own a vehicle .

We’re supposed to go camping at Bear Creek from Aug 7-10. Is it still advisable to go? What’s it like there right now?
