Recommendations — what's driving each score

• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 67% · Speeding 33%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 6 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
