• Review the inspections from KY to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 78% · Following / lane / reckless 22%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
