CMV DRIVER SAFETY TRAINING - MANAGING DISTRACTIONS

MANAGING DISTRACTIONS

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

 

“You may be absolutely committed to eliminating distractions while driving, but what about other drivers around you? Most drivers don't drive for a living, or use a company vehicle, so they probably won't lose their job if they are caught texting or using their phone while driving.

More often than not, distracted drivers are making a conscious choice to distract themselves from driving. This means that not only is it important for you to be a focused driver, but it's also equally important for you to be aware of the drivers around you.

1. Focus

2. Identify

3. React”
