What does a 16-year old girl, a 59-year old grandfather, a 41-year old skilled worker and a 28-year old sales professional all have in common?They all operate a motor vehicle and share public roadways with over 164 million other drivers.

In the past 20-years, the number of miles of new roads has increased only one percent, while the number of miles driven has shot up 35 percent.Combine this ever increasing number of vehicles with changing driver behavior, increased technology and heavier vehicles, and you have a continuously changing driving environment that can present many potential risks and hazards.

DRIVER SAFETY – A LIFETIME OF LEARNING:

According to the latest annual National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 27.6 million vehicles were damaged in accidents.  A motor vehicle accident occurs every five seconds.  An individual is injured in an accident every 11 seconds.  Motor vehicles accidents are the number one cause of workplace fatalities and employee absenteeism.

Driver Safety creates an awareness and respect for the hazards associated with operating a motor vehicle, emphasizes the importance of increasing your awareness of what is happening in your driving environment, and teaches skills and techniques your drivers can use to assess the risk and reduce their chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident.

Whether you operate a motor vehicle as past of your job function or as a means of personal transportation, the decisions you make can be the difference in safely arriving at your destination. (12 minutes)
