Introduction to the defensive driving course (DDC)waheedasghar5
More than 35,000 people die in motor vehicle crashes in the US each year, with over 90% due to driver error. Defensive driving techniques can help prevent accidents and involves skills like scanning the road, maintaining distance from other vehicles, and avoiding distractions. Some key aspects of defensive driving include being alert for hazards, understanding how to respond to prevent collisions, and making safe driving choices even if other drivers act unsafely.
Creating a Culture of Safety in Your OrganizationNicole Weber
Safety is important at all levels of a company’s culture. When the average fleet accident costs over $21,000, many businesses can’t afford to ignore safety issues in their company vehicles.
Since April is Distracted Driving Month, we decided to revisit the topic and talk about good strategies to coach drivers. In this webinar, we demo the Ready Fleet platform, show example safe driving policies, and discuss the dangers of distracted driving.
Risk prevention is an IoT-based uses case able to create a positive impact to all the stakeholders: avoiding the accidents to the policyholders, improving the insurance bottom line, and generating positive externalities to the society
A (false) myth I have heard frequently at conferences is that insurers are not yet able to use IoT data to take smart actions
Instead, there are different success stories about-based risk prevention in different insurance business lines bit.ly/RiskPreventionPaper
One of the best practices in changing driver behaviors is Discovery Limited
Having seen the early steps of this approach, since it’s launch on 1 June 2011, and the journey over the following years, I’ve been always impressed by their innovation journey
Each annual product review has been a thought-provoking presentation: I consider myself extremely luck for this opportunity to learn directly from Anton and Francois and all the team

Quick Resources for Fleet Managers (February 2019)salesbuddy
This document provides an overview of challenges facing commercial fleets and discusses how technology can help address these issues. It covers 7 major challenges, including high fuel costs, lack of drivers, environmental regulations, and government regulations. It then discusses how e-commerce has led to shorter hauls and better work-life balance for drivers. Finally, it makes the case for installing dash cams in fleet vehicles, arguing they can reduce costs, protect drivers, lower insurance rates, protect against lawsuits, and avoid delays from accidents.

The ingenie Young Driver Report is based on our analysis of more than 200 million miles of telematics data, letting us show the real picture of young drivers.
The document discusses telematics insurance for young drivers and its potential to improve road safety. It notes that 20% of serious crashes involve under-25s, yet many take fewer driving lessons than recommended. Telematics insurance provides ongoing feedback to young drivers, helping them improve their skills and reduce risky behavior. Data from the company ingenie shows that young drivers with telematics policies halve their crash risk after one year and significantly engage with feedback to become safer drivers over time. The document calls for government support of telematics insurance to encourage more young drivers to opt in and further reduce road incidents among this high-risk age group.
This document discusses various safety issues and provides tips to prevent accidents. It addresses the risks of overexertion injuries, falls, teen driving, cell phone use while driving, and motorcycle safety. Key facts include that unintentional deaths in the US reached a record high in 2009, falls are a leading cause of workplace fatalities, and car crashes are the number one cause of death for teens. The document advocates following safety practices such as lifting properly, wearing seatbelts, banning cell phone use and texting while driving, and using caution on motorcycles.
This document provides an overview of a driver safety course, including statistics about vehicle crashes and their causes. It notes that over 40,000 people are killed annually in the US from vehicle crashes. The leading causes of crashes are identified as lack of attention (such as cell phone use), lack of space, speeding, and alcohol impairment. Specific dangers of behaviors like texting, interacting with passengers, and speeding are described through crash examples and statistics. The goal is to convince drivers to change unsafe habits and pay full attention in order to reduce crash risks.

Helmets, protective gear, eye protection, obeying traffic laws, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and defensive driving are among the top motorcycle safety tips provided. Following these tips can help prevent brain injuries, death, and other serious harm from motorcycle accidents. Maintaining your motorcycle and preparing for bad weather are also recommended to ride safely. Riders should contact an attorney if injured in an accident to understand legal options.
Driving is said to be one of the most dangerous activities any employee will perform for the company. So it only follows that safety is paramount.
All businesses and organisations should have policies that cover the purchase of safe vehicles, safe driving and workplace practices and education in road safety practices and information. And so while risk is unavoidable when you own a fleet, minimising your exposure and protecting people and assets is critical.
This document provides information and guidelines about safe driving for employees. It discusses the risks of distracted, drunk, drugged, drowsy and aggressive driving and recommends policies to address these issues such as restricting cell phone use and pulling over when tired. It also covers vehicle checks, starting safely, using signals properly, right of way rules at intersections, railroad crossings, school buses and parking regulations. The goal is to help drivers stay focused and prevent accidents that can result in injuries, deaths and high costs to employers.
The document discusses many potential solutions to improving road safety. It suggests that effective solutions require action in several areas: driver training and testing, enforcement of traffic laws, vehicle safety standards, road infrastructure design, public awareness campaigns, and emergency response systems. The most comprehensive approaches integrate improvements across all of these factors, with the goal of changing driver behavior, building safer roads and vehicles, and creating a culture with road safety as a priority. Cooperation between government, organizations, and the public is needed to make meaningful progress.
The January 2022 safety presentation focused on driving exposures. It covered winter weather preparation for vehicles, driving safely in winter conditions, avoiding animal collisions, dangers of speeding and cell phone use while driving, proper backing techniques, and dangers of drowsiness while driving. Key tips included having proper tires, wiper fluid and battery for winter, slowing down in animal areas, hands-free calls are still distracting, using mirrors and spotters when backing, and prioritizing sleep to avoid drowsy driving. The goal is to help employees stay safe on the road.
Defensive driving is dangerous and expensive. Transportation should be minimized and used to prepare consumers for activities, not just for driving's sake. Driving consumers in silence is rarely billable, and using Medicaid for medical transportation must follow Medicaid rules. Driving is the most dangerous activity for most, with unsafe speeds and nighttime driving increasing fatality risks, so drivers should monitor fatigue, follow safety laws, and reduce distractions.

More than 35,000 people die in crashes every year on U.S. roads. That comes to about 96 deaths every day – or four deaths every hour. Many of those deaths are the result of incidents that take place during the workday or during the commute to-and-from work. More than 90% of crashes are the result of driver error and, therefore, are preventable.
Employers absorb the brunt of costs for injuries that occur both on and off the job through items such as lost work days and insurance premiums. Whether you manage a fleet of vehicles, oversee a mobile sales force or simply employ commuters, by implementing a driver safety program in the workplace, you can greatly reduce risks faced by your employees and their families while protecting your company’s bottom line.
Thousands die every year in incidents involving smartphones and distractions from dashboard infotainment systems. Many employers have enacted cell phone driving policies. Typically, these policies ask employees to:
• Program/start GPS equipment prior to starting the vehicle or pull over and park if changes need to be made
• Turn off smartphones or other devices before starting the vehicle
• Inform clients, associates and business partners that calls will be returned when they are not driving
• Pull over to a safe location and put their vehicle in park if a call must be made
Many drivers continue to use phones even when they are aware of the crash risk associated with distraction. Cell phone blocking apps and devices can help drivers stay focused on driving. They prevent drivers from making or accepting calls, texting or accessing the internet.
Drunk and drugged driving
One-third of traffic fatalities involve alcohol. Impairment begins with the first drink. Mental faculties such as judgment are the first to be diminished. This can make it difficult for a driver to reason and respond in an emergency situation. Taking over-the-counter or prescription medications can put drivers at risk, too. Safe driving requires comprehension, concentration, coordination and quick reflexes. Drugs (including marijuana) affect all of these skills.
Aggressive driving
Speeding is one of the three biggest contributing factors in fatalities on our nation’s roads. Aggressive driving behaviors also can include frequent and unnecessary lane changes, tailgating and running red or yellow lights. All of these behaviors can lead to road rage, which is a physical assault of a person or vehicle as a result of a traffic incident.
Here, the best offense is a solid defense, as in teaching and promoting defensive driving skills. Talk to employees about risks. Encourage them to adopt safe driving habits.
Drowsy driving
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports more than one-third of U.S. adults sleep less than seven hours a day. Drowsy driving occurs when people take the wheel despite experiencing feelings of sleepiness and fatigue. The consequences can be deadly. More than 5,000 people died in drowsy driving-related crashes in 2015.
Some vehicles today are equipped with technology that can detect when a driver is about to nod off and deliver a warning signal. Make sure your drivers know how to use all the safety features in their vehicles. Introduce them to learning opportunities provided by sites such as MyCarDoesWhat.org to fill in knowledge gaps.
Remember, you are still your vehicle’s best safety feature. If you are tired, pull over. Three more ideas to share at your workplace:
• Take a nap (20 minutes of sleep can alleviate feelings of drowsiness, at least temporarily)
• Drink a caffeinated beverage (coffee or cola)
• Schedule travel breaks
Passenger restraint
Seat belts are inexpensive and effective. They save lives and reduce injuries. Employees who are in the habit of using a safety belt during work hours also are more likely to buckle up when they are off the clock.
More than half of teens and adults who die in crashes are reported as unrestrained at the time of the crash, according to the CDC.
The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration produced a report indicating the average crash costs an employer more than $16,000. Furthermore, when a worker has an on-the-job crash that results in an injury, the cost to their employer jumps to more than $70,000. Costs can exceed $500,000 when a fatality is involved, according to the report.
Bottom line: No organization can afford to ignore traffic safety because of the impact on personnel and budget.
