Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 54% · Following / lane / reckless 36% · Speeding 10%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 11 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment

Tires 42% (1 OOS) · Brakes 34% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 11%
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 5 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
