Lack of confidence key factor in crashes

Lane discipline not practiced by many Canadian drivers

Re: (Letters, June 8)

This is not necessarily so. Lack of driver confidence when dealing with lane discipline on any highway is one of the causes of collisions.

If a driver feels that the only way he is going to be able to make a safe left turn is to stick out in the B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·˜fastB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ lane for 10 kilometres, he needs to take a refresher course on how to correctly signal his intention to move from the B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·˜slowB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ lane, in order to make his intended turn to the left.

Addressing those people who lack confidence on the road, donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t ever find yourself on a German or French highway. ThatB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s where lane discipline is expected B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ and, I might say, demanded.
