Description:
Preventing distracted driving accidents is so much more than handing a driver a hands-free head-set. Any activity that takes a driver’s eyes off the forward roadway or thoughts that draw a driver’s mind off his or her driving duties, can lead to a distracted driving incident. In this session, the presenters review key in-cab distractions and discuss controls an organization should have in place. They also preview new technologies available to monitor and reduce distracted driving.

Learning Objectives:
Recognize the key distractors leading to accidents in commercial trucks
Identify organizational activites and norms that lead to distracted driving
Describe how to establish policies and programs to reduce distracted driving
Distinguish the different types of technology available to monitor and reduce distracted driving
