[QUOTE="Driveslayer, post: 784255, member: 28973"] Because a driveway is considered a private road it is considered an intersection to UPS. All intersection accidents are avoidable according to UPS no matter who is at fault. Discipline leading up to termination is the policy on avoidable accidents at UPS. My question? Can someone here or at UPS provide a chart estimating reaction and stopping distance based on package car speed(the speed limit) and sight(how many feet from the blind spot in driveway for the car to enter road(intersection). Basically I would like to know what the estimated speed the UPS driver should slow down to before passing a driveway. For example: UPS car is going 45mph on straight dry level road. Driveways have 20 ft from road to blind spot in driveway. Lets assume a car driving(at 10 mph) out to enter main road without looking for oncoming traffic. What speed would I slow down to clear this driveway to avoid a possible accident. I realize many factors go into account when estimating this. Im just looking for a estimated baseline.
