Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle and driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact

• Review the inspections from Marin County, CA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 56% · Seat belt 31% · Speeding 13%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
