Prevent aggressive driving
This month’s road safety goal is to reduce dangerous driving behaviours such as speeding, tailgating, improper passing, etc. Choose one or more of the following activities to help you reach that goal, using the recommended resources.
The basics
These activities can help you focus on high-priority risks and basic compliance requirements.
- Have a conversation with drivers about speeding and make sure they understand that driving too fast for the conditions can also result in a ticket: Speeding Prevention Tool Kit
- Place reminders in vehicles about the importance of obeying speed limits.
Better steps
Build on the basics with activities that strengthen your road safety practices and results.
- Train employees so they know how to apply best driving practices to minimize risks posed by aggressive driving by others: Putting the Brakes on Aggressive Driving Webinar
- Hold a tailgate meeting to educate drivers about aggressive driving. Make them aware of what it is and how they can avoid engaging in those behaviours: Preventing Aggressive Driving Tailgate Meeting Guide
- Check driver abstracts for speeding and other violations. Enforce disciplinary measures for repeated instances of speeding to demonstrate the seriousness of this behaviour: Keep track of driving records
Best practices
Take it further with activities that help you maintain strong performance and a lasting safety culture.
- Motivate employees by creating a reward system for safe driving behaviour, including staying within speed limits.
- Review schedules to ensure drivers and supervisors allow enough time to safely complete trips at the posted limit. Include a suitable buffer for breaks and surprises: Journey Management and Trip Planning Tool Kit
- Consider using GPS tracking and telematics in work vehicles to monitor speeds and provide real-time feedback to drivers and/or their supervisor: Improving Driver Behaviours
