Welcome to ITStv, the official video channel of the U.S. Department of Transportation's ITS Joint Program Office (ITS JPO). The USDOT's ITS program focuses on intelligent vehicles, intelligent infrastructure and the creation of an intelligent transportation system through integration with and between these two components.
The Federal ITS program supports the overall advancement of ITS through investments in major research initiatives, exploratory studies and a deployment support program including technology transfer and training.
Defensive driving can avoid all the accident scenarios shown in this video! e.g. three cars running after each other so close, and first one stopped suddenly. Why bother with tailgating?
Both hands on the wheel and attention on the road ahead would be a huge help in reducing accidents. A car is a place where concentration and skill is needed, not a place to chill and turn off.
Promoting vehicle safety with one hand on the wheel and attention on the camera, not the road. Think driver behavior may be more of the cause of 30,000 deaths per year? Fail.
