Course Overview

This course, "Driver Safety: Preventing Injuries," serves as a crucial refresher on essential safe driving practices, helping you proactively prevent common causes of crashes, injuries, and fatalities on the road. It highlights the critical importance of consistent seat belt use, emphasizing it as the most effective method for reducing deaths and serious injuries in traffic incidents. The training thoroughly covers how to avoid distracted driving by managing phone use, pre-setting navigation, and prioritizing sufficient sleep to maintain full focus behind the wheel. 

Furthermore, it stresses the importance of slowing down and driving defensively, including obeying speed limits, inspecting your vehicle, and adjusting to hazardous weather conditions, curves, and ramps to prevent crashes. The course also guides you through safely navigating work zones, detailing the need for intense focus, reduced speeds, extra room for workers, and maintaining safe distances to avoid common rear-end collisions. 

Finally, it touches on other significant factors contributing to vehicular incidents, such as the dangers of leaving occupants in hot cars, impaired driving (from drugs, alcohol, or even medications), fatigued driving, and risks specifically associated with young drivers. This comprehensive training aims to empower you to be a vigilant and responsible driver, ensuring safety for yourself and everyone else on the roadways.

No Worries. Here’s Some Helpful Info.

Why is buckling up so important?


Seat belts are the most effective means of reducing deaths and serious injuries in traffic crashes, preventing ejection and protecting critical body parts.


What are common distracted driving behaviors?


Common distracted driving behaviors include texting, using phones, entering GPS information while driving, driving while fatigued, eating, drinking, or engaging with pets or passengers in a way that diverts attention from the road.


How does speed affect driver safety?


Speeding significantly increases the risk of severe harm in crashes and makes it harder to react to hazards, especially in adverse conditions or on curves.


What precautions should I take in work zones?


In work zones, you should research your route, stay focused on signs, slow down, give workers extra room, move into open lanes safely, and maintain extra distance from the vehicle in front of you.


What are some "other major factors" contributing to vehicle incidents?


Other major factors include hot car deaths (leaving occupants in hot vehicles), impaired driving (by drugs or alcohol), fatigued driving, and risks associated with young drivers.
