Nicole Morgan+FollowBlinded by Headlights? You’re Not AloneAnyone else feel like night driving is now a game of dodge-the-floodlights? Ultra-bright LED headlights are supposed to help, but tons of drivers say the glare is actually making roads more dangerous. People are complaining about being dazzled, missing turns, and even avoiding night trips. Regulators are finally catching on, but until rules change, we’re all just squinting and hoping for the best. Anyone else flashing their brights in protest? #Cars #LEDHeadlights #RoadSafety10Share
Brian Weaver+FollowAI Traffic Cams: Safety or Surveillance Overreach?AI-powered traffic cameras are now scanning drivers’ hands and faces, flagging phone use and seat belt violations in real time. Some hail this as a game-changer for road safety, while others see it as a step toward automated surveillance. With high-res imaging and neural networks, enforcement is faster and more precise—but at what cost to privacy? Would you feel safer or more watched with these systems on your commute? #Tech #AITraffic #RoadSafety00Share
Anne Clark+FollowFaded Road Markings Are a Real HazardEver had to squint to figure out which lane you’re in? You’re not alone—1 in 6 drivers say they’ve nearly crashed because road markings are so faded. It’s gotten worse over the last five years, with most people now just guessing where to go. Some even end up in the wrong lane or overshoot junctions! The RAC is calling this a ‘frightening’ issue and wants the government to step in before things get even riskier. #Transportation #roadsafety #driving60Share
Nicole Morgan+FollowAre Warning Triangles Actually Saving Lives?FMCSA is finally putting those classic orange triangles to the test! They’re launching a big study to see if setting up warning triangles behind stopped semis really makes roads safer—or if it’s just a box to check. With new tech and even cab-mounted beacons in the mix, the results could totally shake up what’s required for truckers. Would you feel safer seeing triangles, or is it time for something new? #Cars #Truckers #RoadSafety10Share
Michael Smith+FollowHighway Ads or Road Signs? Total Confusion!Ever seen a highway ad that looks so much like a real road sign you almost miss your exit? A driver in Malaysia snapped a pic of a massive Visa ad on an overpass that mimics legit direction signs—think New York, Bangkok, Tokyo—except it’s just selling a debit card. People online are calling it distracting, dangerous, and just plain annoying. When ads start messing with how we navigate, is it time to draw the line? #Transportation #CrappyDesign #RoadSafety00Share
john05+FollowNew Driving Laws: What’s Changing?Big shakeup coming for UK drivers! The government’s new road safety plan could mean mandatory tests for over-70s, a lower drink-drive limit (finally!), and longer learning periods for newbies. Plus, new cars might need fancy safety tech as standard. All this aims to cut road deaths by 65% by 2035. If you drive—or plan to—you’ll want to keep an eye on these changes! #Transportation #DrivingLaws #RoadSafety00Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowBig Changes Ahead for Older Drivers?Word is, the government might start requiring eye and cognitive tests for drivers over 70—and they’re looking at stricter drink-driving limits too. Even one pint could put you over the new proposed limit! The goal? Cut road deaths by 65% by 2035, especially for older folks. They say it’s about safety, not taking away independence. Would this make you feel safer on the roads, or is it over the top? #Transportation #roadsafety #drivinglaws2117Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowUninsured Drivers, Watch Out!Uninsured drivers are about to get hit with way bigger fines—think double what you’d pay for insurance! The government’s new plan could see penalties jump to £600 upfront, plus more points on your license. They’re cracking down hard because uninsured drivers make life tougher (and pricier) for everyone else on the road. If you’re not covered, it’s about to get a lot riskier to roll the dice! #Transportation #RoadSafety #Insurance10Share
Sean Clark+FollowHouston’s new highway stripes: Safety or confusion?Houston drivers have spotted bold new reflective stripes on highway barriers, and while they might look decorative at first, they’re actually a clever safety upgrade. These high-visibility strips are meant to make barriers stand out at night and in bad weather, helping drivers—especially those unfamiliar with Houston’s winding connectors—avoid costly scrapes and accidents. It’s a simple fix that could make a big difference, and if it works, we might see it spread across Texas and beyond. Have you noticed these stripes yet? Do you think they’ll help reduce accidents, or just add to the confusion? #Transportation #Houston #RoadSafety00Share
Sean Clark+FollowHighway chaos: Semi-truck crashes snarl I-80 & I-75Traffic came to a grinding halt for thousands after two separate semi-truck crashes shut down major stretches of I-80 in Illinois and I-75 in Michigan. In Shorewood, a jackknifed truck blocked eastbound lanes, while in Metro Detroit, a speeding semi lost control on slick roads, sending debris flying and injuring several people. Thankfully, no life-threatening injuries were reported, but these incidents are a stark reminder of how quickly road conditions can change. Have you noticed drivers pushing the limits in bad weather? What’s your go-to strategy for staying safe when the roads get dicey? #Transportation #TrafficAlert #RoadSafety00Share
