You don’t need to be told that the more time you spend on
the road, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident. Even if you’re
the most careful truck driver out there you unfortunately need to share it with
a lot of unsafe drivers (you possibly have other words to describe them). Unfortunately,
as a professional driver you need to be on the road. You know well the saying
that if the ‘wheels aren’t turning, you’re not earning’ but to avoid becoming a
statistic there are some ways to mitigate the risks. Safer trucks have helped
but records
show from Insurance Institute of Highway Safety that truck occupant
fatalities have increased from 0.16 per million miles in 2009 to 0.21 in 2014.
Increased traffic on the roads have no doubt contributed to the increase. While
safe, defensive driving helps there are some clever ways to use new tech to
make each trip safer – by making it shorter.
