Study quantifies commercial driver distraction Study quantifies commercial driver distraction Quote: SAN DIEGO — SmartDrive Systems on Wednesday published the results of a large-scale study of commercial fleets to quantify driver distraction and identify the root causes. The company said the goal is to provide fleet managers with an action plan for improving safety. According to a recent study by the FMCSA, key distracted driving behaviors increase the risk of collisions by as much as 23 times, reinforcing the importance of focusing on driver distractions to minimize collisions. The SmartDrive study investigated more than 50 types of driver distractions, and determined that commercial drivers are distracted an average of 8 percent of active driving time. more here>> Study quantifies commercial driver distraction __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us
