Recommendations — what's driving each score

• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Yuma County, AZ · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Yuma County, AZ 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 63% · Other 21% · Speeding 17%
