Even the most well-trained, safety-conscious commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver is at risk of engaging in driving behaviors that could lead to a crash on today’s crowded highways. Weather conditions or road conditions change and suddenly “driving too fast for conditions” becomes a risk factor. Failing to look or looking and not seeing, impaired performance because of fatigue, inattention or daydreaming or an unexpected external distraction can all lead to a truck crash. With that in mind, FMCSA has developed a Web site to raise the consciousness of CMV drivers about common driving errors and to provide valuable driving tips through an easily accessible tool—the Internet. Fleet safety managers can also use this information to support their driver training programs. In this webinar, drivers, fleet managers and other interested stakeholders will be given an introduction to the Web site, what it contains, and how to use it to their best advantage. 60 minutes
