In just the past three weeks, there have been three fatal motor vehicle crashes on a section of Route 33 in Monroe County.  The accidents have occurred in the area from Route 209 in Stroud Township to the border of Northampton County.

Traffic on Route 33 is up 27% in the past decade.  It is a popular way to travel for cars and trucks looking to reach New Jersey, New York or the Lehigh Valley.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has different improvements planned to help increase safety on this road but reminds motorists that the key to safety on Route 33 and elsewhere is for drivers to pay attention, to obey the speed limit, to stay sober and to not use cell phones while driving.

GMAC Insurance recently conducted a nationwide study among licensed drivers to determine how much drivers really know about the rules of the road.

Pennsylvania drivers didn’t do so well on the test.  In fact our state finished 39^th among the 50^th states with an average score only slightly about 75%.

What’s scarier? 

This is the 6^th year that GMAC has administered the test and each year the scores get a little worse.  The drivers with whom you share the road know a little less about safe driving practices and driving laws.

Our neighboring states didn’t do much better.  The Northeast had the lowest average score on the test.

Since many Pennsylvania drivers are unaware of basic traffic laws, it is important to remain alert to potential dangers and to drive defensively to avoid being involved in a tragic accident.
