Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 60% · Phone / texting 37% · Following / lane / reckless 4%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 33% · Lighting / lamps 32% (3 OOS) · Tires 12%
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
