Basic safe driving skills revised: DriveCam lists its most dangerous behavior - and it's not texting

摘要

In their effort to reduce bus and coach collisions, government, industry and trade associations publish lists of the most common risky driving behaviors which fleet operators then draw from to build their safety programs. Unfortunately the methods for these studies are limiting, as the majority rely on data from accident reports, witness statements and law enforcement analysis. Although it is important to consider such resources, their perspectives are often incomplete and commonly skewed. The most commonly cited risky driving behaviors include distracted driving, speeding, traveling too fast for conditions, fatigue, traffic law violations and aggressive driving.
