Aggressive driving is a serious problem on American roadways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that aggressive drivers cause two-thirds of all fatal crashes today. While drivers under 30 are most likely to show aggressive driving behavior at the wheel, aggressive driving is a problem that crosses generational, racial, gender, and geographic lines.
Aggressive driving is a problem that puts all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians in danger. Aggressive drivers may be unpredictable, take risks, make erratic maneuvers, and have little regard for the welfare of others. Therefore, even drivers who may not consider themselves aggressive should still learn strategies for how to avoid provoking an aggressive driving incident. This course proposes strategies to avoid both perpetrating and provoking an aggressive driving incident and discusses speeding as a primary and deadly symptom of aggressive driving. It is hoped that this course will help our roadways become safer and less stressful, which will ultimately save lives, minimize injuries, and save on property damage repair costs.

Speeding is a contributing factor in nearly one-third of all fatal crashes. Since 1995 the number of deaths and injuries attributed to speed have continued to rise. Technological advances in vehicle safety and passenger protection have not been able to prevent the thousands of needless deaths each year from speed-related crashes. Therefore, it is essential for all law enforcement officers to understand the dangers associated with speeding whether they are on duty or off the clock using their own vehicles.
The best solution to the problem of speeding is to make drivers aware of the problem and to equip them to drive at safe speeds, which are the two main objectives of this course. Various topics are covered in this module, including what factors influence drivers to speed; what risks arise from excessive speed; how speed affects stopping distance; what economic costs stem from speeding and aggressive driving; how to avoid becoming involved in a collision with a speeder; and what factors to consider in choosing a safe speed for vehicle operation.
This course focuses specifically on the dangers of speeding. Speeding during police pursuits is covered in a separate course, Police Pursuit Driving.

A worker is more likely to suffer fatal injury while operating a vehicle than any other job activity. The need for enhancing safety when driving cannot be understated. Unfortunately, improving one's own driving ability does not guarantee safety on the roadway. No matter how safe a driver is trained to be, he or she cannot control the behavior of other vehicle operators. Encountering unsafe drivers is an inevitable part of every driver's experience.
This course is aimed at preparing drivers for encountering potential hazards on the roadway. It follows a three-fold approach by encouraging drivers to anticipate, recognize, and respond to driving hazards. Within this framework, topics covered include principles of defensive driving, the need for driving defensively, practical instruction on how to drive defensively, instruction on maintaining a safety zone perimeter around the driver's vehicle, and effective stopping distance.

A brief glance at a new billboard, a turn of the head to look into the backseat, a routine cell phone conversation -- these all have the potential to cause a deadly motor vehicle accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6 million to 8.3 million drivers crashed in the past five years as a result of being distracted. On average, drivers require about 3/4 of a second to react. When a driver's attention is diverted from the roadway, that reaction time can be drastically increased, and traumatic injury or fatality can be the tragic result.
This course examines the problem of distracted driving and offers solutions and prevention measures for avoiding accidents due to distracted driving. Recent case studies are also presented along with a discussion of the lessons that can be learned from each.

On our congested roadways, it is more important than ever to drive with a clear head and a sharp focus. On average, a driver makes over 200 decisions per mile, so it is critical that a driver remain alert behind the wheel. Driving while intoxicated, under the influence of certain medications or drugs, or when especially tired can lead to tragic results. In fact, impaired leads cancer and all other causes of death for people ages 3 to 33 years old and approximately 1.5 million drivers were arrested annually for DWI between 1993 and 2003. For employers, this has amounted to a loss of $3.1 billion in incidents that involved alcohol.
The purpose of this course is to encourage safe driving practices among employees, reduce employee costs due to incidents caused by impaired driving, and educate drivers on the factors that contribute to impaired driving. Driving is a common task required of many employees nationwide and even a small increase in safe driving practices can reduce the number of accidents and, most importantly, save lives. Due to the widespread nature of the alcohol-impaired driving problem in particular, special attention has been given to this problem.

Most of a driver's time behind the wheel is spent while the vehicle is moving forward. The repetition and accumulation of experience can help make for safer drivers behind the wheel. But unfortunately this does not mean they will be equally good or safe when it comes to backing. Backing is one of the least practiced driving skills and therefore can pose a great risk, even for experienced drivers.
Despite the relatively little time spent backing compared to driving forward, backing still accounts for between 25-30% of vehicle accidents nationwide. It is not hard to see why learning, reviewing, and practicing safe backing techniques is a key part of reducing vehicle accidents.
This course focuses on the various safety precautions and techniques for backing safely in a number of situations. Topics such as safe backing procedures, backing with a trailer, blind spots, adjusting mirrors, and parallel parking are covered.

Over 42,000 people died nationwide in motor vehicle crashes in 2006, according to the NHTSA. In over 50% of these fatal crashes, a significant cause of death was the driver''s decision not to wear their seat belts. Observational studies by the NHTSA have found that a startling 18% of vehicle occupants do not wear seat belts.
Seat belts, airbags, and other safety devices are quite effective at accomplishing what they have been designed to do: save lives. But the one variable that designers and safety engineers cannot control is human behavior. Ultimately, it comes down to a choice for drivers and passengers to use these available safety technologies, taking the 3 seconds or so it requires to click the seat belt into a locked position and understand how best to take advantage of the other vehicle safety components such as airbags. If more drivers and passengers did this habitually, more lives would be spared the tragedies of injury and death. Over the past decade, 62,000 lives have been saved and over one million injuries prevented by seat belts. In 2006, an estimated 15,383 lives were saved by seat belts alone.

The number of crashes involving at least one car and one truck averages over 200,000 per year in the U.S. That number grows even higher when considering crashes involving motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The frequency of these incidents makes it clear that drivers need to be made aware of the unique handling and performance abilities and limitations of the different vehicle types. Armed with this knowledge, drivers may then tailor their driving to the conditions present when driving in the vicinity of these other vehicles.
There are a different set of factors to consider, for example, when driving near a large truck than when driving near a motorcycle--factors such as the different vehicle sizes, their different performance abilities and limitations, and the different stopping distances they require. These are the kinds of factors that the course aims to review.

Regularly inspecting a vehicle for problems and following a schedule of routine maintenance are critical to ensuring safety and prolonging the life of the vehicle. Unfortunately, however, the majority of vehicles on the road are not properly inspected or maintained. A recent national survey found that at least 80% of vehicles are not adequately maintained and have at least one component needing attention. This not only means that most vehicles on the roadway are not operating under optimally safe conditions, it also suggests that drivers do not recognize the need for following a regular schedule of inspecting and maintaining their vehicles.
This course focuses on drivers' responsibility to inspect their vehicles and maintain them in good working condition. Critical and pertinent topics are covered such as what to inspect, how to document inspections, the cost-saving benefits of properly maintaining a vehicle, how to check tire pressure, and how to identify common vehicle problems before they contribute to costly major mechanical failures.
