IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE WAY WE DRIVE

摘要

Are you one of those firefighters driving with the attitude that you own the road? ("I'm driving the big red truck; get out of my way because here I come.") Do you drive your personal vehicle 90 miles per hour (mph) on the way to the firehouse? Are you a company officer who knowingly lets the fire truck be operated unsafely—without everyone's wearing a seat belt or the driver's driving too fast or not stopping for a red light or stop sign? Are you a chief who doesn't have the guts to tell the new boots they are not mature enough to have a red light and siren in their vehicles? And, Chief, do you neglect to wear a seat belt or drive too fast? Have you ever heard about leading by example? (If you do it, then it's okay for others to do it.) Think about that one.
