Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in SC · medium impact
• Review the inspections from SC 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 53% · Following / lane / reckless 30% · Speeding 17%
• 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.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 36% (14 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 19% (3 OOS) · Brakes 10% (1 OOS)
• 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 11 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
