Course details
Defensive Driving for CMV Drivers: Prepare
Course Overview
Defensive driving skills are impacted by a variety of factors, most under a driver, control. Pre-trip inspections are the first step because these inspections ensure all systems are working properly in a vehicle. Lights, brakes, and signals, among other things, must be functioning as they should. More than a quarter of all work-related fatalities occur in occupations that require driving, or the transportation of goods, making the need for defensive driving skills clear. In order to avoid injury, or worse, death, drivers need to understand what defensive driving really means and what unique challenges a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver faces... even for veteran drivers.

- Why seeing and being seen is the most important aspect of defensive driving
