6. OOPS !

7. REDUCE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BLIND SPOTS! FIRST ADJUST SEAT !! THEN ADJUST MIRRORS!

8. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN KILL YOU Get to Know Your . . . . . . . Mirrors!

9. VAN SAFETY BLIND SPOTS

10. WRONG ! RIGHT !! Mirrors

11. Backing and Parking

17. VAN SAFETY Another Common VAN ACCIDENT CHANGING LANES

18. 5 STEPS TO CHANGING LANES SAFELY 1. Establish a 4-second following distance 2. Turn on your signal light several seconds in advance 3. Check your rear view and side mirror 4. Turn your head in the direction you will be going and look 5. If it is safe, change lanes and re-establish your space cushions

19. VAN SAFETY Highest Risk COMMON VAN ACCIDENT ROLL OVER

20. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) • 15 passenger vans have an increased rollover risk under certain conditions • The risk of rollover increases dramatically as the number of occupants increases from fewer than 5 occupants to over 10 passengers • 15 passenger vans (with 10 or more occupants) had a rollover rate in single vehicle crashes that is nearly 3 times the rate of those that were lightly loaded

21. NHTSA • Loading 15 passenger vans causes the center of gravity to shift rearward & upward increasing the likelihood of rollover • Shift in the center of gravity will increase the potential for loss of control in panic maneuvers • It is important that the van be operated by experienced drivers who understand & are familiar with the handling characteristics of the van, especially when fully loaded

22. NHTSA • Any load placed on the roof will be above the center of gravity of the vehicle & will increase the likelihood of rolling over • Fill the front seats of the van first. The center of gravity shifts to the rear and upward increasing the likelihood of rollovers as capacity increases

23. STABILITY FACTORS - CENTER OF GRAVITY (CG) - C ENTER OF FORCE (CF) - WEIGHT VAN - TIRES DYNAMICS - PROFILE

24. CG & CF CF CG HIGH SPEED + HIGH CG + HIGH CF = ROLLOVER !! VAN DYNAMICS
