ywheeler+FollowWhy Alabama drivers need to rethink right turns on redRight turns on red lights in Alabama are under fresh scrutiny—not because the law has changed, but because safety is now front and center. Even though you can still turn right after a full stop (unless signs say otherwise), police and safety groups are cracking down on rolling stops and drivers not yielding to pedestrians or cyclists. Fines and insurance hikes are real risks, but the bigger issue is preventing accidents at busy intersections. Have you noticed more enforcement or near-misses lately? Let’s talk about how these rules impact our daily drives and what changes you’ve seen on the road. #Transportation #Alabama #RoadSafety00Share
john05+FollowDetroit’s I-75 reopens after wild semi crashTraffic on Detroit’s I-75 is moving again after a semi truck crash shut down the southbound lanes at I-96. The driver, going too fast on rain-slick roads, lost control—made worse by an unsecured load. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, but the incident caused major delays and a ticket for the driver. If you were stuck in the backup or had to reroute, how did it affect your day? Should there be stricter checks on truck loads, especially in bad weather? Let’s talk about road safety and what could help prevent these messes. #Transportation #DetroitTraffic #RoadSafety00Share
ywheeler+FollowWhy right on red in Alabama still mattersMaking a right turn on red in Alabama isn’t just about saving time—it’s about safety and knowing the rules. Even in 2025, you can turn right at a red light unless there’s a sign saying you can’t, but you have to come to a complete stop first. That pause isn’t just for show; it’s the law and gives you a chance to check for pedestrians, cyclists, and oncoming cars. Some intersections have new restrictions or more signs, so staying alert is key. How do you feel about these rules—do they make driving safer, or just slow things down? #Transportation #AlabamaTraffic #RoadSafety00Share
ywheeler+FollowCanada’s Road Rules: Should the U.S. Copy?The IIHS is eyeing Canada’s strict driving laws and thinking the U.S. should follow suit. Imagine higher fines for texting and driving, tougher seatbelt rules, and more speed cameras everywhere. In Canada, distracted driving fines start at $600—meanwhile, some U.S. states only charge $25! The IIHS says these changes could help reverse America’s rising traffic deaths. Would you be cool with steeper fines if it meant safer roads? #Transportation #roadsafety #drivinglaws811Share

Traci Keller+FollowShould All Drivers Get Regular Eye Tests?Mandatory eye tests for UK drivers over 70 might be coming soon, but the internet is split. Some older drivers say it’s just common sense for safety, while others argue that eyesight can go bad at any age—so why single out seniors? There’s also a call for better public transport if people lose their licenses. Would you support regular eye checks for everyone behind the wheel? #Transportation #RoadSafety #UKNews00Share

Joshua Freeman+FollowMinerva family pushes for safer roadsA Minerva family is turning heartbreak into action after losing their son, Zachary, to a tragic crash involving an Amish buggy and a motorcycle. They’re now fighting for “Zachary’s Law,” which would require non-motorized lanes or restrict buggies from high-speed roads in Ohio. The goal? To make sure no one else faces the same devastating loss. This campaign is already bringing together stories from other families who’ve experienced similar tragedies. Would a separate lane for buggies make our roads safer, or are there better solutions? Let’s talk about what real road safety looks like for everyone in our community. #Relationships #Minerva #RoadSafety00Share
