What was supposed to make driving safer appears to have the opposite effect. Technologies like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist could be giving drivers a false sense of security and causing them to reduce their concentration while driving. That’s what the USA Today is reporting regarding the release of a new study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Of course, the intentions were good and, when used properly, these functions do in fact make driving safer.

My recent letter to the editor of the Sun Sentinel addressed the lack of safety concerns for pedestrians, cyclists, and even motorists on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Read the letter here. #FortLauderdale #cyclist #pedestrian #Florida #Safety
