Defensive Driving – Picture This

What’s wrong in this picture, there is a woman using her cellphone while driving her car paying any attention on the road and what is crossing the street. She does not notice that a family is just in front of her car and how deadly it can end.

Getting behind the wheel of your car may seem like a commonplace event, but it is likely to be the most dangerous thing you will do all day long. You can’t control the actions of other motorists, you have a great deal of control over how you operate your vehicle. That means you can increase your chances for a safe trip.

As an employer, it is in your best interest that your employees drive safely. The driving environment is dynamic – road, weather and traffic conditions change frequently.

Don’t let phones, radio, air conditioning, kids in the backseat, or a heated discussion with your spouse distract you from your job as the driver. Always pay attention to the road and your vehicle.
