• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Following / lane / reckless 100%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

A high share of violations are occurring in Cleburne County, AL · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Cleburne County, AL to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
