MITIGATING RISK FROM COMMON DRIVING INFRACTIONS
The high frequency of road accidents makes driver safety one of the biggest challenges fleet managers face each day. In the US alone, 6 million car accidents every year happen every year, with more than 40,000 motor vehicle accident-related deaths in 2017. The stats on individual crashes are just as shocking. A report by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA) found that vehicle crashes can cost employers between $16,500 and $74,000 for each injured driver. Distracted driving refers to any behavior that takes a driver's attention off the road.

The high frequency of road accidents makes driver safety one of the biggest challenges facing Fleet Management each day. In the US alone, 6 million car accidents every year happen every year, with more than 40,000 motor vehicle accident-related deaths in 2017. Several factors come into play when looking at the cause of traffic accidents. It could be the weather, changing road conditions, or the fault of other road users such as another driver or pedestrian. Apart from the risks posed by accidents to drivers, companies face significant losses when such accidents and traffic violations occur.
