Why? Because drivers are fooling themselves believing they can multitask. Extensive research has proven that drivers are actually performing separate tasks sequentially and once attention is moved to a non-driving task, risk factors significantly increase. Unfortunately, the result is apparent in crash data, with distracted driving ranked as one of the biggest causes of traffic fatalities every year. ###### Topics: [driver training](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-training) [distracted driving](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/distracted-driving) [distracted driving causes](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/distracted-driving-causes) [distracted driving impacts](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/distracted-driving-impacts) [prevent distracted driving](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/prevent-distracted-driving) [distracted drivers](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/distracted-drivers) ###### 4 min read ## [How to Choose a Fleet Driver Training Program](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/how-to-choose-a-fleet-driver-training-program) By [Driving Dynamics](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/author/driving-dynamics-thought-leaders) on Aug 16, 2022 9:58:57 AM [![](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/hubfs/Fleet_Driver_Training_Program.jpeg) ](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/how-to-choose-a-fleet-driver-training-program) Fleet managers face many challenges, but choosing the right fleet driver training program should not rank among them.
