Arriving AlivePersonal Safety and Driving Tips for Motorists
This is a book on how to avoid becoming a victim of crime on the highways, how to share the road with semi trucks and general driving tips. Excerpts from Arriving Alive: "Stopping for another broken down traveler is human nature, but it is very unsafe to do. There is a big scam that has been around for years it goes like this: a car is sitting on the shoulder with the hood up. A woman is standing by the car looking desperate. You stop to assist. A man jumps out from the bushes or from under the car and robs you. In recent times, this scam has been reported having 2 women do the robbing instead of a woman and a man. It is better to dial 911 and report a disabled vehicle than to stop. This year, a new scam has started being reported. You stop at a rest area; as you leave another car waves and honks at you indicating you may have a flat or whatever. When you stop on the shoulder, they pull in behind you and either rob you or steal your car." "Injuries from traffic crashes provide high numbers. Passenger cars and light trucks; 2007: 2,491,000, 2006: 2,575,000 against the amount of people injured in traffic crashes involving large trucks: 23,000 for both 2007 and 2006 (this does not differentiate whether it was truck drivers injured or other type vehicle occupants).
