Subject field(s)
  • Driving (Road Vehicles)
  • Road Safety
DEF

A person who drives hazardously close to the rear of another moving vehicle.

CONT

Tailgaters often sit in the blind spot directly behind large vehicles and may not be visible to the driver. Tailgaters usually are persons who lack patience as well as foresight. This loss of patience could be caused by another vehicle's speed and handling. By observing traffic in the rear view mirrors, drivers of large vehicles can protect themselves against tailgaters by making it easier for them to pass.

Pallet collar is an extremely useful product in storage and transportation business because it enables to utilize 100% of single pallet's volume and allowed maximum load. Rigid materials give full protection for the goods inside the packaging and enable to detach each collar separately from the packaging, according to the discharge speed. Pallet collars are foldable and take just a little space when not in use. Pallet collars are produced of Estonian timber and Swedish steel hinges. Pallet collars are used as transportation packaging both in local and export transportation. Using pallet collars as a strong packaging is the best way to organize material handling. Pallet collar is long lasting and reusable packaging.

The Vancouver Rail Task Force(VRTF) was established in 1977, under the auspices of WESTAC(Western Transportation Advisory Council), when the Government of British Columbia, the British Columbia Railway, and the VJCRU recommended at the Vancouver hearings of the Grain Handling and Transportation Commission, that a Task Force be established to improve the rail transportation system in the Vancouver Area. It lasted until 1982. Its objective was "to increase the reliability, speed, efficiency and safety of rail car movement through the Vancouver Terminal Area. "To do this, there was a project team created consisting of the Chairman, from WESTAC, a senior representative of railroad management, a senior representative of railroad labour, and one senior representative of the Federal Government.

The [avalanche-control team skis] above the avalanche starting zone and throw a dynamite charge of around 2. 5kg. This is a dangerous operation as it involves the direct handling of explosives and the [team] may get caught in the avalanche.... Even in modern, well equipped stations such as Val d’Isère this method is still employed. More rarely, ski cutting is also used. This consists of a [skier] traversing a slope at a certain angle and speed on skis, this is often enough to weaken the bonds between snow layers starting a slide. Needless to say it requires a lot of skill.
