Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Gregg County, TX · medium impact

• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 54% · Seat belt 27% · Other 19%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact

Lighting / lamps 65% (3 OOS) · Brakes 29% (6 OOS) · Tires 3% (1 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
