Corporate Driver Training

Being a passenger in a vehicle can be a stressful situation.   Think about it. You’re putting your life in someone else’s hands as a passenger in someone else’s car.  Here’s a twist; that someone else happens to be your young driver. Has the panic set in for some of you yet? I see you over there clinching on to your seat belt,  white knuckling the door handle, and using your imaginary brake pedal as you ever so lovingly instruct your child  to “Don’t drive so close behind that car!” , “Using...

Many suits have been brought in United States courts as a result of sun glare obliterating traffic control devices or oncoming vehicles or pedestrians from view.

We have all seen those crazy TV commercials with the Rat jamming out in the living room, or the cockroach trying to deliver a pizza, which is promptly followed by the "Orkin Man" who keeps the unwanted pests away.   Orkin spends a lot of money on advertising their brand and it is clear they want that brand safeguarded.

I was following an Orkin truck today and Orkin has a rather novel approach to their employee's driving their vehicles, one they have obviously put thought into and they apparently...

Over 40,000 people die each year in the United States as a result of automobile accidents. With the increasing amount of traffic on our highways, the number of related deaths also continues to rise. Many states require those drivers who have vehicle crashes and have points on their driving records to take a course in defensive driving. Statistics show that successfully completing a course of this type will greatly reduce the likelihood of an accident.

There are lots of companies, large and small,...

A school bus driver has been charged with being allegedly three times over the drink limit when she arrived at work just before her afternoon shift.
Lane Tripp, 46, was arrested and handcuffed after an off-duty deputy in Lee County, Florida, spotted her weaving through traffic in her own car.

Older drivers are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. Not only will there be more drivers, but these drivers will also drive more miles per year than previous generations, and will drive at older ages. Older drivers currently make up 10 percent of all drivers. By the year 2020, one of four Florida residents will be over age 64, and half of them will be 75 or older. 

Studies suggest that many older adults in the U.S. will outlive their ability to drive. Pedestrians, bicyclists, and...
