The Importance of RV Safety
According to a government report, RVs are involved in over 76,000 accidents per year. This is about a third of what passenger vehicles average every year. Traveling in an RV is safe and can be the best experience of your life. Like any vehicle, you have to know what your coach is capable of, be a responsible driver, and obey all regulatory standards set by governing authorities. The RV lifestyle is supposed to be one of taking it slow and easy.
In an accident involving an RV, it’s not always clear who the at-fault party is. Sometimes it’s as clearcut as one driver or the other. Other times it could be a manufacturer flaw or something beyond anyone’s control.
The common accidents with RV include:
- Wind gusts
- Driving Tired
- Altering Substances
- Vehicle Weight Problems
- Speeding
- Inexperience and Miscalculations
- Blind Spots
This is why it is so important to make sure you are properly trained on all rules and safety regulations involving RV’s.
