Dangerous Driving on Grafton Road

There have been several complaints about dangerous driving on part of Grafton Road, just outside Morgantown.

Part of the reason is that there is a temporary traffic signal in front of a construction area, and people do not want to wait and take no notice of the traffic light. This is making the area both scary and dangerous, especially as there are many people taking children to school in their vehicles as well as school buses.

It is feared that there will not only be an accident but possibly a fatal head on collision as those who speed through the red light cannot see the oncoming traffic.

Police say that deputies are writing tickets for the offenders and they will ensure that deputies from the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office are in the area at busy times.

In the meantime some are even too scared to use the road until the construction is completed.

How to Take Care of Your Brakes

If you learn to take care of your brakes, it will not only save you money but could also prevent your brakes ever failing and causing an accident.

First, anticipate when you will need to slow down and rather than using the brake immediately, simply take your foot off the gas and allow the car to begin to slow on its own. This will make a major difference to how much wear is on the brakes. You should learn to drive by looking a long way ahead, and see if there is a stop sign, or stationary traffic, as that is a sign to begin coasting in your vehicle.

Try and ensure that your vehicle is not overloaded as a heavy vehicle will use more gas and wear down the tires and the brakes more quickly. If you play golf then take the clubs out of the trunk if you do not need them, rather than leaving them in there all of the time.
