Unsafe driving practices

Assessment of circumstances The circumstances surrounding an accident will be assessed to include, but not limited to, the employee s condition the seriousness of unsafe driving practices, if any, that resulted in the accident and a determination by the supervisor as to whether the public s or the employee s safety would be jeopardized by allowing the employee to continue driving. 

Advanced techniques and practices (e.g., awareness, observation, spacing, etc.), used by drivers to protect themselves from the errors of other drivers, unsafe road conditions, and adverse weather conditions that increase driving hazards. The National Safety Council (NSC) launched the first Defensive Driving Course, adapted from techniques used by professional drivers in 1964. Since then, the NSC has trained more than 60 million drivers and today offers more than 25 different defensive driving and fleet safety courses. The NSC offers more courses with the highest success rate in reducing the number and severity of collisions and their related costs than any other driver training provider.
