At Averitt, "Our Driving Concern is Safety" for our professional drivers on the road and the motoring public. We encourage drivers to remember these five key tips when changing lanes in order to keep everyone moving.

Point 01  Look Ahead

  • Scan a quarter of a mile or 15 seconds up the road
  • Leave ample space when returning to right lane after passing
  • Increase following distance in bad weather

Point 02  Be Aware

  • SAFETYPOSTER_0720_02Be aware of the road ahead, vehicles around you, and what is behind you
  • Clean mirrors and adjust seat before leaving
  • Use the "Lean and Look" Method

Point 03  Adjust Your Viewpoint

  • SAFETYPOSTER_0720_03Scan mirrors with active eyes
  • Pay attention to your mirrors
  • Watch for vehicles hiding in your blind spots

Point 04  Be Prepared

  • SAFETYPOSTER_0720_04Prepare before changing lanes to avoid a last-minute maneuver
  • Plan for the unexpected from other drivers
  • Don't let failing to prepare become a contributing factor in an accident

Point 05  Communicate

  • SAFETYPOSTER_0720_05Assume other vehicles don't see you
  • Don't let vehicles hang out in your NOZONE
  • What you can't see is just as important as what you can see
