AAA Calls on Congress to Support Transportation Funding by Thomas J. Ashley,

1020 W. Hamilton Street, P.O. Box 1910 Allentown, PA 18105-1910

Senior Vice President of Automotive Services

CLUB OFFICES

any of the roads and bridges we travel on every day in Pennsylvania are crumbling because of insufficient maintenance and old age. Unless policymakers act soon to increase funding, motorists can expect more potholes, longer commutes and dangerous safety problems. Construction of the federal Interstate Highway System began in the 1950s and many roads have since outlived their effective lifespan. The American Society of Civil Engineers reports that 32 percent of our country’s roads are in poor or mediocre condition, while nearly 25 percent of bridges are rated as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. In Pennsylvania alone, there are 121,772 miles of public roads and 57 percent fail to meet adequate standards. The accumulation of potholes, bumpy roads and poor driving conditions can cost motorists hundreds of dollars a year in additional repairs and operating costs. This comes at a time when the average cost to own and operate a car has increased to $9,122 per year, according to AAA’s recently released Your Driving Costs report. Many highways and roads were never designed to handle the average commute motorists face today, resulting in huge traffic jams and stressful trips across town. Congestion wastes $121 billion in time and energy, according to the Texas Transportation Institute, an organization that studies the national transportation system. In fact, idling in traffic wastes 2.9 billion gallons of fuel per year, which is equivalent to more than 150 million trips to the gas station for the average car. Even more concerning is the potential harm caused by poor road conditions. The annual societal cost of traffic crashes is $299.5 billion, which does not even measure the true human and emotional price arising from more than 30,000 traffic deaths last year. Many of these crashes arise, in part, from unsafe conditions such as inadequate lighting, poor signage and outdated road design. Despite the already troubling statistics, roads and bridges in Pennsylvania may become worse in the years ahead because the federal Highway Trust

Fund that pays for maintenance and improvements may go bankrupt as soon as 2015. If this happens, it would result in Pennsylvania losing out on significant funding needed to fix roads, minimize traffic jams and improve safety. More than fifty years ago, America’s Interstate Highway System became the envy of the world because our nation’s leaders worked together to implement far-reaching polices of historic importance. The leaders of the time did not let the political risks detract them from developing a highway network that would stand as a monument to the engineering excellence of the United States. Today, the American public is tired of waiting for Congress to address these serious problems. Approximately two-thirds of adult drivers believe the federal government should invest more to improve roadways, according to a recent survey by AAA. In fact, U.S. motorists seem more willing to implement new funding options than even their elected federal officials. Now is the time to act. Help urge your elected officials to prioritize road and bridge funding so that something is done soon to fix the innumerable potholes and traffic jams that motorists in Pennsylvania face every day.

Distracted Driving By Tom Vanderbilt

ew people have devoted as much time and intellectual energy to the problem of distracted driving as David Strayer, a professor of cognition and neural sciences at the University of Utah. Strayer has studied the issue for more than a decade, bringing his findings to forums ranging from state legislatures to The Oprah Winfrey Show. His latest research, for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, takes a novel approach. After fitting drivers with electrode caps to record brain activity, researchers measured their reaction times and hazard-detection accuracy both in a driving simulator and on the road. After analyzing the data, Strayer created a “category 1 through 5” scale to define how much certain tasks distract drivers. His findings may surprise you. •P hone conversations had much the same effect whether the driver used a hand-held or handsfree device (2.45 versus 2.27 on the 5-point scale). • L istening to an audio book required more attention (1.75) than did the radio (1.21). • S peech-to-text systems were much more demanding—a “category 3” distraction. • T he highest level of distraction (5.0) came while drivers worked on complex math and memory exercises.

OFF THE CHARTS — Researchers measured reaction times both in a driving simulator and on the road. The Strayer Scale: Levels of distraction on a scale of 1 (least distracting) to 5 (most distracting): •S ingle-task condition: 1.00 •L istening to the radio: 1.21 •L istening to an Audio book: 1.75 •C onversing with friend on handsfree mobile phone: 2.27 •C onversing with friend on a hand-held mobile phone: 2.45 • I nteracting with a speech to text device: 3.01 •D riving while doing a series of math and memory tasks: 5.00 Where AAA stands The club supports legislative bans on texting while driving, and bans on wireless use for drivers under 18. AAA also urges all drivers to accept personal responsibility to be alert and attentive on the road. What in the real world of driving is even remotely similar to these tests? Strayer wondered the same thing. Then he recalled a new car he test-drove that included a system for buying movie tickets. “You’re not sure what’s playing, what times are available, what theaters,” he says. “You reserve your seat, give your credit card info—that entire series of operations is going to be at least a category 3, and it wouldn’t surprise me if some of those pushed into category 4.” All of this is happening while your eyes are on the road. But, as the phenomenon of “inattention blindness,” or the ability to miss something right in front of you, has shown, people who seem to be paying attention can be distracted. “Eyes off the road is a bad thing,” says Strayer. “It’s just that eyes on the road doesn’t mean it’s safe.” It’s the increasing availability and complexity of in-car technologies that prompted AAA to support Strayer’s work. Jake Nelson, AAA director of traffic safety and research, says these findings don’t warrant a call for a ban on voice-activated technology. “We simply want to say, hey, we’ve learned something new here that we want to sit down and talk about,” he says. Tom Vanderbilt (tomvanderbilt.com) also writes for The Wall Street Journal and Smithsonian. His most recent book is the New York Times bestseller Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says about Us).

AAA Identifies Motorist Breaking Point on Gas Prices in New Consumer Index Nearly two-thirds of consumers offset high gas prices with driving or lifestyle changes

alf of U.S. adults consider gas prices to be “too high” when it reaches $3.44 per gallon, indicating a potential breaking point on gas prices, according to a new consumer price index developed by AAA. Roughly two-thirds of Americans (62 percent) are offsetting high gas prices by changing their driving habits or lifestyle. It was not long ago that motorists were shocked to pay more than $3 per gallon for gasoline, but now that is standard at stations nationwide. Today’s average consumer feels a breaking point on high gas prices closer to $3.50 per gallon, and expensive prices have forced many motorists to change their driving habits. AAA’s gas price index tracks consumer attitudes by determining at what price the cost of gasoline becomes too high. The results from the open-ended survey demonstrate how attitudes can be expected to change as prices rise above significant milestones: •4 6 percent believe gas is too high when the price reaches $3.00 per gallon •6 1 percent believe gas is too high when the price reaches $3.50 per gallon

July/August 2013

•9 0 percent believe gas is too high when the price reaches $4.00 per gallon It is possible there is a new normal in terms of consumer attitudes now that gas prices have remained above $3.00 per gallon for more than two years. Most people have resigned themselves to paying higher gas prices and are cutting back on driving, shopping and dining out to save money. Consumers report changing their driving habits or lifestyle in a number of ways to offset recent gas prices, including: •D riving less – 86 percent •R educing shopping or dining out – 71 percent •D riving a more fuel efficient car – 54 percent •D elaying major purchases – 53 percent •W orking closer to home – 39 percent •C arpooling – 33 percent •U sing public transportation more regularly – 15 percent •O ther – 18 percent

Younger consumers ages 18-34 are more likely to offset recent gas prices by working closer to home or using public transportation more regularly than adults ages 35 and up (48 percent vs. 35 percent and 25 percent vs. 10 percent, respectively). These results could suggest a generational shift in terms of attitudes towards driving, but it is too early to say whether these attitudes would continue into the future. The national average has remained above $3.00 per gallon for 28 consecutive months. While the national average has not surpassed $4.00 per gallon since 2008, it is not uncommon for motorists living on the West Coast, in the Northeast and near the Great Lakes to pay more than $4.00 per gallon.

It’s Summertime, and the Tips to Expedite Your Living is Easy With Insurance Claim F AAA Plus RV® Extend your member benefits to cover recreational vehicles

ore of our members carry AAA Plus® coverage than any other—54% of them, to be exact. Most will tell you they want the extra miles of towing that it provides, up to 100 miles from the point of breakdown to whatever destination they choose. During most of the year, AAA Plus is the perfect plan, but for those members who hit the road in the summer months pulling all the amenities of home behind them, there’s something even better. AAA Plus RV® is an optional benefit that can be added to AAA Plus membership. AAA Plus RV takes all the emergency road service benefits you currently enjoy when driving in a car or truck and extends them to recreational vehicles. By “recreational vehicles,” we mean motor homes, pickup trucks with campers, tent trailers, camper vans, cabover campers, camping trailers, travel and boat trailers (provided the boat trailer is not in the water), fifth-wheel travel trailers, and motorcycles. You must be a AAA Plus member to be eligible to add AAA Plus RV coverage. Any associate on the account will automatically be included in the RV coverage at no additional charge. AAA Plus RV membership includes all the services provided under AAA Plus, and it comes with exclusive benefits: •1 00 miles of towing in any direction for eligible recreational

vehicles (RVs), motorcycles and travel/boat trailers that have been mechanically disabled. • E xtrication of eligible RVs, including delivery of services by a second truck and operator for up to one hour at the scene. • Tire changing for eligible RVs and travel/boat trailers. •D elivery of a sufficient amount of fuel--enough to reach the nearest service station—to eligible RVs and motorcycles, at no cost to the member. Traveling outside of the local area, members may be required to pay for towing of boat trailers in areas where the local AAA affiliate does not cover boat trailers. In those situations, the member can submit to AAA East Central for reimbursement of the towing charge. It should also be noted that trailer coverage is provided as an emergency road service, not towing service; for example, AAA will not drag a trailer out of the backyard with dry-rotted tires. It costs a little more for AAA Plus RV coverage, but when you consider the major inconvenience and expenses of having something as large as a 40-foot Fleetwood break down, it’s well worth it. RV coverage is $35 when added to an existing AAA Plus membership; there are no additional charges for associate members on the account. You may also add RV coverage to a AAA Premier® membership for an additional $35.

iling an insurance claim can seem like an overwhelming task, but it doesn’t have to be. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has put together the following tips to help policyholders facilitate the process: • Know your policy - Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. Know the terms of that contract, including what’s covered, what’s excluded and the amount of any deductibles. • File claims as soon as possible Call your agent or your insurer’s claims hotline as soon as possible. Your policy might require notification within a certain time frame. • Provide complete, correct information - Be certain to give your insurance company all the information they need. Incorrect or incomplete information will only cause a delay in processing your claim. • Keep copies of all correspondence - Write down information about your telephone and in-person contacts, including the date, name and title of the person you spoke with and what was said. Also, keep a record of your time and expenses. • Ask questions - If there is a disagreement about the claim settlement, ask the insurer for the specific language in the policy that explains the reason why the claim was settled in that manner. If this disagreement results in a claim denial, make sure you obtain a written letter explaining the reason for the denial and the specific policy language under which the claim is being denied. If you have a dispute with your insurer about the amount or terms of the claim settlement, you should contact your state insurance department for assistance.

• Make temporary repairs to protect property from further damage - Your auto/homeowners policy might require you to make temporary repairs. If possible, take photographs or video of the damage before making such repairs. Your policy should cover the cost of temporary repairs, so keep all receipts. Also, maintain any damaged personal property for the adjuster to inspect. • Don’t make permanent repairs An insurance company may deny a claim if you make permanent repairs before the damage has been inspected. • Try to determine what it will cost to repair your property before you meet with the claims adjuster - Provide the claims adjuster with records of any improvements you made to your property. Ask the claims adjuster for an itemized explanation of the claim settlement offer. • Don’t rush into a settlement - If the first offer made by an insurance company does not meet your expectations, be prepared to negotiate. If you have any questions regarding the fairness of your settlement, seek professional advice. Trust AAA to steer you right on all your current and future Auto, Home and Life insurance needs. Combining your coverage with one insurance company could make a significant difference in your premium.

Escorted by Andi Strikowsky The Western Caribbean cruise was entirely too much fun, and we made some very ‘special’ friends. We are looking forward to travelling with Andrea again very soon!

I truly enjoyed the cruise. The service on the ship was wonderful. My favorite ports were St. Thomas and Curaçao. Donna was an exceptionally helpful and kind tour guide. All of us would love to do it again. The tours on the island were very informative and we were able to see many beautiful and historic points of interest.

— I-Wu Chen

We had a great time! The trip was very relaxing and, as always, very well organized. New Orleans was a fantastic departure point and a fun place to spend some time before getting on the ship. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces traveling with us again. We can’t wait for the next one. Thank you again for the wonderful time and the great memories.

Don’t Be Myopic When It Comes to Sunglasses

Three Great Ways to Save on Rental Cars

utdoor summer activities often present a dilemma: Do you wear your prescription eyeglasses and struggle to see through the bright summer sunlight, or do you wear sunglasses and compromise your ability to see clearly in the first place? The solution may be as simple as getting yourself a pair of sunglasses made with your prescription. Just as sunscreen is important for protecting your skin, sunglasses are vital for shielding your eyes from harmful UV rays. Sunglasses made with your prescription can give you that protection while also providing your eyes with the correction they need. The AccuFit Digital Measurement System—found exclusively at LensCrafters—considers the unique features of your eyes and face to ensure the best possible placement of the prescription in your sunglasses lens. When selecting sunglasses made with your prescription, look for lenses that best suit your lifestyle and activities: Green or gray lenses are best for long days under bright sunlight. Brown or blue lenses improve contrast, making them a good choice for golf or tennis. Yellow lenses are ideal for early mornings

o matter what kind of traveler you are, AAA has a car rental solution for your next trip. With Hertz, AAA offers you the #1 brand in the business with big discounts, special offers and exclusive benefits designed to provide you with the overall greatest total value. AAA members receive discounts up to 20% on daily, weekly, weekend and monthly car rentals, plus benefits such as no additional driver fee for qualified AAA members, the use of one FREE child seat per rental, a 10% discount on the pre-purchased fuel option and more!

and late afternoons because they make your surroundings appear brighter. A light brown lens is perfect for cloudy days when you’re not bothered by bright sunlight but still need protection from damaging UV rays. And anytime you’re dealing with glare, like with driving or boating, polarized lenses are the way to go. All function, no fashion? 98% of sunglasses available at LensCrafters— including stylish frames from Ray-Ban, Coach, Prada, and Oakley—can be fitted with prescription lenses to keep you looking “cool” in the summer heat. Treat your eyes to the finest protection from the sun while keeping your vision sharp for all of the summer activities you love. Check out the amazing selection of sunglasses made with your prescription at your local LensCrafters.

North Montco Career Center Students Place Second in Pennsylvania State

Finals of Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Competition

ichael Pastuszak and Austin Yoder, students at North Montco Career Center in Lansdale, PA, placed second in the Pennsylvania State Ford/ AAA Student Auto Skills competition. Both Pastuszak and Yoder will receive scholarships to pursue a career in the automotive service industry. Led by their instructor, William Kirkpatrick, the students competed for a chance at additional scholarship dollars and the opportunity to kick-start their automotive service careers through a job shadow program. Each year, the Ford/AAA Auto Skills competition brings together the best of the country’s future top automotive technicians. The competition is just one of the ways in which AAA and Ford demonstrate their commitment to the community and builds awareness of career opportunities in the automotive service industry. A record number of students, more than 13,000, took the written exam this February, kicking off the competition with strong momentum. North Montco Career Center earned a spot in the Pennsylvania finals by achieving one of the state’s top scores in the preliminary exam. In the Pennsylvania competition, the students represented their school in a race against the clock to correctly diagnose and repair intentionally installed “bugs” on identical Ford vehicles.

The Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills competition offers millions of dollars in scholarships this year at the state and national levels. Both the statewide and national competitions are organized with the support of Ford personnel, local automotive instructors and the AAA Approved Auto Repair® program, a public service AAA provides to identify quality repair facilities throughout the country.

July/August 2013

efore sending a son or daughter off to college with an automobile, AAA encourages parents to sit down with the child and discuss a plan for proper vehicle maintenance, as well as how to deal with unexpected problems when parental rescue is more than just a few minutes away.

Tires are one of the easiest components of a vehicle to maintain, but they are frequently overlooked until something goes wrong. Every student should have a tire pressure gauge in their vehicle, know where it is located, and understand how to use it properly. Tire pressures should be checked at least once a month when the tires are cold.

Know the Vehicle’s Maintenance Schedule Make sure your student’s car is

current with all maintenance items prior to sending them off to college, and determine if any future required services will come due while they are away. AAA recommends that parents and teens review the owner’s manual and

teens identify an auto repair shop they can trust near their school in case routine servicing or unexpected repairs become necessary. If unfamiliar with the area around a college, visit AAA.com/Repair to locate nearby AAA Approved Auto Repair® facilities.

Prepare for Roadside Emergencies Make sure the teen’s vehicle has a

well-stocked roadside emergency kit with contents suitable for local weather conditions during the school year. For added peace of mind, add your teen to your AAA membership.
