• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 46% · Following / lane / reckless 31% · Seat belt 20%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily

Lighting / lamps 44% (1 OOS) · Brakes 28% (1 OOS) · Tires 17% (1 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
