Just Because You Can’t See it, Doesn’t Mean It’s Not Happening

Every day – every month, at least nine Americans die and 100 are injured in distracted driving crashes. April, Distracted Driving Awareness Month, is the best time to focus your efforts on reducing distractions in your fleet. Cell phones, dashboard touchscreens, voice commands and other in-vehicle technologies pose a threat to our safety. Are the consequences of these distractions worth the convenience they offer?

Many times it’s not a matter of if a collision from distracted driving will occur, but when. Time and money are spent looking at collisions after they occur. But, what if you could look at what causes collisions before they happen, so you can lessen the chance of one occurring in your fleet?

With the largest database of analyzed risk driving events – more than 250 million – SmartDrive has a unique window into this dangerous world. Know the risks before your drivers hit the road:

By identifying distracted driving, coaching your drivers to improve their driving skills and measuring your results, you’ll stop distracted driving and improve your fleet’s performance.
