Defensive Driving Tips for CMV Drivers: An Internet-Based Approach

摘要

The main objective of this study was to develop a web-based driving tips website to be used by commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and fleet safety managers to show common large-truck driving errors and to provide tips on how to avoid such errors. The website, hosted on the FMCSA website, is accessible to the public. The website is intended to be used as a supplemental CMV driver training tool and is not intended to replace any of the current classroom or on-road training methods that are currently being used. The website contains real-world video clips of CMV drivers who were recorded making various driving errors. It is hoped that the CMV web-based driving tips website, with support from the naturalistic driving video clips, will provide drivers with compelling information to support safe driving.
