School zone safety in the age of distractions
E
very school year, busy parents tack on more daily chores to their to-do lists. In addition to packing lunches and getting kids dressed, they also have to make sure last night’s homework was completed. For many families, the morning routine also means getting everyone in the car and on the road in time so the kids aren’t late to class and parents aren’t late for work. With all this chaos it’s no wonder the morning’s mad scramble extends to the school gates, with traffic snarling and tempers flaring as people jockey for position at drop-off area. “Stressed out and distracted drivers mixing with crowds of school kids can be a recipe for disaster,” says James Fults, vice president, personal insurance auto for Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company. “School zones can be difficult to navigate for drivers, many of whom are running late, might be receiving important work emails or calls on their smart phones, and trying to have last-minute conversations with their kids before they dash off for the day.” In fact, as many as one in six drivers in school zones were reported as distracted in a 2009 national study of driving behavior around middle schools. The study was conducted in 15 states by the Safe Routes to School organization, which works to increase safety and reduce traffic around schools. Cell phones and electronics were identified as the leading distractors, followed by eating, drinking and smoking. Other distractions included reaching and looking behind the driver’s seat, grooming and even reading. Drivers of larger vehicles like sports utility vehicles, pickup trucks and minivans were more distracted than car drivers, according to the study, and distracted drivers appeared more frequently in school zones without flashing lights and in school zones that had a daily traffic volume of 10,000 or more cars. Sometimes these distractions have tragic results. Since 2003, 1,353 people have died in school-transportation-related

accidents - an average of 135 fatalities per year - and more school-age pedestrians have been killed during drop-off and pick-up (from 7 to 8 a.m. and from 3 to 4 p.m.) than any other times of day, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). “Remember that your kids are learning from your driving example; don’t teach them to be a distracted driver,” Fults says. “To ensure that everyone makes it home safely at the end of the day, drivers should concentrate on the task at hand and exercise patience and caution when getting into and out of school zones.” This is especially important since there are so many pedestrians in and around schools. In 2012, 4,743 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States, and another 76,000 pedestrians were injured, according to the NHTSA. In that year, more than one in every five children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were killed in traffic crashes were pedestrians. In order to be as safe as possible on the way to and from school, drivers should heed these tips:

• Slow down and always obey posted school-zone speed limits. • Remember, children do not easily estimate vehicle speeds and often misjudge when it is safe to cross the street. • Learn and obey the school bus laws in your state. • Don’t use cell phones or mobile devices, including hands-free devices. • Don’t eat, read, drink or groom in the car. • Don’t tailgate or honk your horn. • Don’t yell, glare or gesture to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. • Try to be on time. Running late increases your chances of speeding and reckless driving.

2015 AUTOS | FUEL CONSUMPTION
A Focus on Efficiency
I
mproved fuel efficiency is driving many buyers to look into purchasing a new car. From giant SUVs and pickup trucks to small economy cars, nearly every new model has been engineered for better gas mileage in recent years.
It’s not just about hybrids and electric cars, either. While those models tend to generate the biggest headlines and are the most Earth-friendly to drive, ordinary gas and diesel models are being designed with lighter bodies and more fuel-efficient engines these days. For many buyers, especially people trading in their older gas guzzlers, that can make driving a new car more financially appealing.
Here’s a look at some ways auto makers are improving their fuel consumption.
DIESELS
In Europe, where higher taxes result in considerably pricier gasoline than here in the United States, small diesel engines have long been a popular choice because they help drivers save money at the pump. Now they’re starting to become more widely available in America for the same reasons. Efficient diesel engines are offered in more cars and trucks these days, and changes in their design mean they’re dramatically quieter and cleaner burning than before.
FEWER CYLINDERS
Full-size SUVs and pickups have long been famous for their gasguzzling V8s, but they’re increasingly becoming available with six-cylinder or smaller engines with turbochargers and other ways to save at the pump. That’s a pattern that many companies are using: reducing the displacement of their engines to offer the improved gas mileage today’s buyers expect. And that doesn’t always mean a cut in power, either.
TECHNOLOGY
Advanced technologies are resulting in engines that can eke the most ener-
gy from every drop of gasoline. That means that while today’s newest engine designs are more fuel efficient, they often produce more horsepower and torque, too. Technologies such as variable valve timing and direct fuel injection can improve performance while reducing fuel consumption. And many V8 engines are now being built with cylinder deactivation, which lets you coast in six-cylinder or four-cylinder mode, then firing up all eight cylinders when full power is required. © FOTOLIA
