 Defensive Driving It's extremely important to adjust driving technique and speed to meet road conditions, especially roads made slippery by ice or other factors. Drive defensively; expect the unexpected on logging roads. A worker was killed when his crew truck collided with the tracks of a log loader. The log loader was being carried sideways on a low-bed truck. The log loader tracks extended about two feet over each side of the flatbed. The collision happened on a narrow stretch of icy logging road.
Prevention alert:
- Do not create a wide-load situation on logging roads without informing all potential users of your movements.
- Use radio communication to chart your movements with other road users.
- Make sure all vehicles drive within the accepted speed limits and that driving speeds are reduced in poor road conditions.
