Nationally, which of the following causes more fatal injuries in road work areas?

  2. Inattentive road workers stepping into traffic
  3. Speeding
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - On a national level, more fatalities occur to road workers due to speeding than to any other cause. While flying debris and inattentive drivers do account for many accidents, some resulting in fatalities, speeding is the number one cause of these preventable accidents. Commercial drivers are often required to drive through construction work zones and must therefore be alert to their speed as well as to their immediate surroundings.
