Speeding 46% · Seat belt 36% · Following / lane / reckless 13%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily

Following / lane / reckless 61% · Log / ELD device 26% · False log / RODS 9%

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 27% (4 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 26% (2 OOS) · Brakes 26%
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
