Aggressive Driving for Large Vehicle Drivers
In a recent survey of current commercial motor vehicle (CMV) fleet safety managers, aggression and anger were considered the most dangerous risk factors for drivers. Unfortunately, there is good reason for this grim assessment. Aggressive driving is a serious problem on America’s 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 threatens pedestrians, passengers, and drivers of all types of vehicles. 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 is aimed at reducing the likelihood of large vehicle drivers becoming involved in an aggressive driving incident. It proposes strategies for avoiding both perpetrating and provoking an aggressive driving incident. The course also discusses the topic of 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 minimize injuries, save on property damage repair costs, and, most importantly, save lives.
