Danger on the Highway is a guide for motorists and highway officials concerned with improving highway safety. It details The Sandy Johnson Foundation Highway Safety Initiative and explains how a slight modification in the thinking of motorists and highway officials could potentially save 10's of thousands of lives across the country, annually. In addition, implementation of this program could save individual state governments millions of dollars each year in unnecessary time delays and un-warranted construction. The program was developed by Dean Johnson after he performed an investigation into the cause of the automobile crash that killed his wife Sandy. Applying the same principles he used to determine the cause of that crash, Mr. Johnson discovered that other dangerous locations could be identified, analyzed and corrected with the same positive results. This book is a MUST READ for all motorists and highway officials.
About the Author: Dean Johnson graduated from Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio with Bachelor of Science Degrees in finance and business management. The majority of his career has been spent in the mortgage and residential building industries until the deaths of his wife Sandy and her mother in October of 2002. After their deaths Mr. Johnson embarked on a journey. That journey began the day after his wife's death with a visit to the accident site where she and her mother were killed. Over the next several weeks Dean initiated an investigative process which led him to identify Driver-Conditioning as an underlying cause of that violent crash. After further study he discovered that the principles of driver-conditioning could be used to: 1. Identify the probable cause of accidents at other crash locations where like-kind accidents occur; and, 2. Help identify potential high-accident sites before they claim their first victim. In addition, Mr. Johnson worked closely with an Ohio Senator and his legislative team in Washington D.C. and was instrumental in aiding in the development of legislation pertaining to the Strategic Highway Safety Program as well as the law requiring the Top 5% Report which requires State Transportation Departments to disclose the locations of dangerous intersections and stretches of highway within each State. Through his efforts with the Sandy Johnson Foundation, Dean was featured in a story in Reader's Digest in 2003 pertaining to unsafe highways which drew national attention. He has appeared on national television and participated in local television programs relating to highway safety in Ohio and Michigan.
