Proper Lane Positioning

The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety reports that drivers have 242,000 sideswiping accidents annually, resulting in 2,500 fatalities and 27,000 injuries. Without much thought, drivers begin each journey with the destination in mind. Journey planning is not something drivers typically think about when starting their vehicle. Coupled with vehicle misplacement, this can be the recipe for a potential crash. For many drivers, the aggravation of a sideswipe collision comes in the form of having their mirror knocked off or hitting their mirror on a stationary object. Ultimately, vehicle lane choice and vehicle position in the lane is the driver’s responsibility. Our goal for you in completing this lesson is to help you recognize and choose best practices for lane choice and lane position.
