The time to start preparing is in the weeks before the winter weather arrives.  ###### Topics: [driver safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-safety) [winter driving](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/winter-driving) ###### 3 min read ## [How Fleet Managers Improve Driver Safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/how-fleet-managers-improve-driver-safety) By [Driving Dynamics](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/author/driving-dynamics-thought-leaders) on Jul 18, 2022 4:16:44 PM [![](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/hubfs/Fleet_Managers_Improve_Driver_Safety.jpeg) ](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/how-fleet-managers-improve-driver-safety) For fleet managers, improving driver safety involves providing training on the best behind-the-wheel behaviors as well as empowering drivers to practice those behaviors. A key component of that practice is the ride along that gives fleet managers or supervisors an in-person chance to assess and correct any issues, leading to safer and more efficient fleets. ###### Topics: [driver safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-safety) [manager ride-along](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/manager-ride-along) [improving driver safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/improving-driver-safety) ###### 3 min read ## [College-Owned Vehicle Driver Safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/college-owned-vehicle-driver-safety) By [Driving Dynamics](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/author/driving-dynamics-thought-leaders) on May 6, 2022 7:37:19 AM [![](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/hubfs/College-Owned%20Vehicle%20Driver%20Safety.jpeg) ](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/college-owned-vehicle-driver-safety) 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. ###### Topics: [driver training](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-training) [driver safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-safety) [college-owned vehicles](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/college-owned-vehicles) ###### 3 min read ## [Fleets Should Invest in EV Driver Safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/fleets-should-invest-in-ev-driver-safety) By [Driving Dynamics](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/author/driving-dynamics-thought-leaders) on Mar 14, 2022 7:45:00 AM [![](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/hubfs/Fleets%20Should%20Invest%20in%20EV%20Driver%20Safety.jpg) ](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/fleets-should-invest-in-ev-driver-safety) 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. ###### Topics: [driver safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-safety) [EV](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/ev) [risk management](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/risk-management) ###### 3 min read ## [How to Reduce Driving Fatalities](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/how-to-reduce-driving-fatalities) By [Driving Dynamics](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/author/driving-dynamics-thought-leaders) on Aug 9, 2021 8:09:00 AM [![](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/hubfs/Reduce%20Driving%20Fatalities.jpg) ](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/how-to-reduce-driving-fatalities) During the height of the pandemic in 2020, the number of road traffic fatalities increased over 7% in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has now reported that, compared to 2020, 1st quarter 2021 fatalities, increased another 10%! NHTSA is now projecting over 40,000 fatalities this year. These sobering statistics have led fleet and safety professionals to renew their efforts in finding ways to better train drivers and reduce driving fatalities. ###### Topics: [driver safety](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-safety) [fleet managers](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/fleet-managers) [reduce driving fatalities](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/reduce-driving-fatalities) [driver fatalities](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/topic/driver-fatalities) [All posts](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/driver-safety-news/all)   ##### Our Brands Our Brands ##### Get to know us Get to know us ##### Latest Releases Latest Releases ##### Driver Safety News ### **[Pedestrians, Cars and Carts, Oh My!
