ATA and AAA Kentucky Demonstrate Safety Measures for Louisville Drivers

           Mack Truck's Program Visits Louisville to Save Lives
                           on Kentucky Highways

      Thousands of Vehicles Travel I-65 Through Louisville Each Day;
        Most Automobile Drivers Were Never Taught What They Can Do
          to Avoid Initiating an Accident with a Tractor-Trailer

  Who:         Professional truck drivers, the American Trucking
               Associations (ATA), AAA Kentucky, the Kentucky Department of
               Vehicle Enforcement, the Kentucky Department of Highways, and
               the Kentucky Motor Transport Association.

  What:        A demonstration of highway safety measures will be conducted
               for local news media, including "ride-alongs" in tractor-
               trailers, as part of the national Share the Road tour
               visiting Louisville, KY.

  When:        Thursday, March 18th, 10:00 AM

  Where:       I-65 South Welcome Center (see driving directions below.)

  Summary:     Professional truck drivers with millions of miles of
               accident-free driving, ATA and AAA Kentucky, will demonstrate
               safety measures critical to saving lives on Louisville's
               highways.  The demonstration will include truck ride-alongs
               for news reporters and photographers.  Safety demonstration
               will include tips on blind spots, safe-merging techniques,
               and stopping and following distances.

               The safety advice is critical for Louisville area drivers
               because:

               -- 35% of all truck-involved highway fatalities occur in a
                  truck's blind spots*

               -- Most drivers were never taught how to share the road
                  safely with trucks

               -- Watching this demonstration will help reduce accidents

  Directions:  The I-65 South Welcome Center is located at mile point 113 on
               I-65 just south of Exit 116.
