Risk Analysis points after brake check

Those “points” are fairytale points. Ignore them. Maybe instead learn something or another such as anticipating when others might change lanes. That’s right. Learn ESP. Develop a sense of what others could potentially do at any time. Then increase distance. But don’t lose sleep about Swift points.

 

You didn't get points for the hard brake. You got them for not starting to create distance as soon as he started coming in.

 

How long have you been with Swift and are you in some kind of contract with them?

 

Well you are correct for the wrong reasons.
Any company can say anything they want about you as long as it's true The date and rehire are simply a best practices to keep the civil suites down. Can't sue for slander with hard facts.

The reason though that it doesn't matter to the op is no one cares. Those points are 100% Swift internal system. No one wants to learn Swift's system to see if you are a bad employee, or if Swift is just being a large company bureaucracy.
That being said, I'd still fight safety on it in your spare time as it will affect which level of bonuses you get, hence how much money you bring home.

 

I was going say if it were me I'd start triggering braking events everywhere I went just to get those points up and see what their threshold is. But that's because I can be an absolutely ignorant prikk when I put in the effort. If you like them then please keep your eyes peeled and stay safe. In my limited experience I always expect the worse from people in cars and am genuinely surprised and grateful when they commit an act of decency. Good lukk and I hope you have many safe journeys.

 

Guy flashes his highbeams, then passes you on the right. My immediate thought is he is going to do something stupid. "Failure to keep an out" refers to many things, in this case following distance. My "out" when I see a jackwad cutting me off is get on the brakes asap. That is what Safety Guy is seeing and trying to communicate (I assume).

When you review these things with safety:

1. State what you did right
2. State what the other guy did wrong
3. State what you could/will do differently next time to avoid the situation in the first place .

The guys who come in for critical event reviews who say "It's not my fault, it's not my fault" end up in a hole in the desert (metaphorically). Those who exhibit self awarness and own their role get told to go forth and sin no more.
