Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 36% · Phone / texting 30% · Seat belt 26%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 1 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact

Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 42% (4 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 22% (6 OOS) · Tires 18% (8 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
