For most, driver education classes instilled two major memories: the "ten and two" steering wheel rule and the "left-right-left" method for leaving an intersection. But most drivers aren't freshly licensed and like a lot of things, memory can fade with time.

DriveCam Inc., a global driver risk management company, has just unveiled Risk InfoCenter, the largest storehouse of information on high-risk driving based on actual driving behavior. The data has been collected by DriveCam's experts for the last 10 years across multiple industries and types of vehicles, to provide useful insights for preventing collisions. They have recently researched events in the Risk InfoCenter to identify trends and causes for risky driving behavior resulting in intersection collisions.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that for 48 percent of injury-related accidents are due to intersection crashes. According to DriveCam, that more than 75 percent of those accidents could have been avoided if drivers were more visually attentive and applied the fundamental driving rules of looking left-right-left, looking farther ahead, and coming to a complete stop at red lights and stop signs, as well as looking before proceeding through intersections.
