Drowsy driving ranks among the worst offenders when it comes to poor driving habits that lead to crashes. The ability to recognize the signs of driver fatigue is key to creating a fleet safety culture that eliminates those habits and the risk of crash-related injuries.

College-Owned Vehicle Driver Safety
By Driving Dynamics on May 6, 2022 7:37:19 AM
College-owned vehicle driver safety is an issue universities and colleges across the country should take seriously. With a fleet of vehicles used by employees and students in an environment with many inexperienced drivers and distracted pedestrians, academic institutions that offer driver training can create a safer campus and reduce their liability risk for off campus driving.

How to Get the Most from Your Investment in ADAS
By Driving Dynamics on Mar 23, 2022 9:30:12 PM
Reading, Seeing, Doing
As vehicles become more sophisticated with advanced driver assist systems (ADAS), drivers are falling further behind in understanding how these systems perform, or even worse, have ill-conceived notions of how these systems function. In hindsight it seems, the better the technology becomes; the worse drivers get. However, we can’t be that surprised knowing how little training most individuals have received on this topic. Safety researchers continue to issue warnings about the lack of training and because of this, repeatedly emphasize how ADAS will never live up to its full potential.

What is The SEE the Advantage System™?
By Driving Dynamics on Mar 15, 2022 8:30:30 AM
The Driving Dynamics “SEE the Advantage System™” takes information gathered from years of research about the causes of crashes and helps drivers develop habits to avoid them. This system includes both an effective, advanced defensive driving strategy and critical vehicle control skills for drivers of all vehicle types.
In this blog, we’ll focus on the advanced defensive driving strategy component called SEE. This is an easy to remember acronym encouraging drivers to regularly use the SEE three-step process to anticipate potential traffic hazards and respond in a safe manner. They are:

By Driving Dynamics on Mar 14, 2022 7:45:00 AM
As fleets invest in making a transition to electric vehicles (EVs), they should include EV driver training as part of the transition. A failure to do so could have a negative impact on safety and energy consumption, while investing in training could help fleets and drivers better manage risk.
