Upson says that although road fatality rates are declining, there is more work to do when it comes to educating first-time drivers. He said that professional driver training alongside more time in the car with Mum and Dad could make all the difference tomake sure teenagers know how to conduct themselves on the road.

Transport Risk and Accident Specialist Stan Bezuidenhout discusses with Lester Kiewit whether there’s a legal maximum age for driving in South Africa. While there’s no set age limit, Bezuidenhout argues that the real issue isn’t age but ability. He shares his concerns about the current license renewal process, calling it little more than an expensive card print, and explains that drivers should consider stopping when they no longer feel safe or confident - whether that’s due to struggling with speed limits, heavy traffic, or lane changes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this eye-opening episode, we're joined by James Kell, co-founder of Scratchie, who's flipping the script on how we approach fleet safety. Rather than focusing on catching drivers doing something wrong, Scratchie is creating measurable improvements by recognizing and rewarding positive driving behaviours.James shares how Scratchie's innovative platform integrates with Geotab's telematics data to automatically identify and reward safe driving practices. By "inverting the report" – focusing on what drivers are doing right instead of wrong – fleets are seeing dramatic improvements in safety metrics, driver retention, and overall morale.Key Topics Covered:How the traditional punitive approach to fleet safety creates resistance and resentmentScratchie's integration with Geotab and how it transforms telematics data into driver recognitionReal-world results: 28% improvement in safety attitudes and 96% driver preference for fleets using ScratchieThe Science Behind Positive Reinforcement and Why Immediate Recognition Drives Lasting Behaviour ChangeHow North American trucking companies are implementing Scratchie to reduce insurance costs while improving driver satisfactionPractical steps for fleet managers to shift from a "gotcha" culture to a recognition-based approachListener Takeaways:Why recognition is more effective than punishment for creating sustainable safety behavioursHow to leverage existing telematics data to boost driver engagementPractical strategies for implementing a positive recognition program in your fleetThe connection between driver recognition, retention, and bottom-line resultsReach out to James Kellhttps://scratchie.comjames@scratchie.com+1 (415) 619-2704Your Hosts:John FarquharNational Risk Services Specialist, Transportation, Gallager GGBhttps://www.ajg.com/ca/M: 437-341-0932John_Farquhar@ajg.comChris HarrisCEO, Safety Dawg Inc.905 973 7056Chris@SafetyDawg.comhttps://safetydawg.com/Keeping it Safety Dawg Simple!#trucksafety #truckinsurance #truckpodcastDo you need a "Truck Driver Safety Policy?"

Older Driver Safety Awareness Week just passed, and the state has been sharing resources to help people stay educated and safe behind the wheel at all ages. The aging process is different for everyone, and PennDOT reminds mature drivers they may see some changes in vision, and reaction time. “ There's a lot of people out there who think that if you're a mature driver, you know, 70 or 80 or 90s even, you shouldn't be driving when the reality is there are younger people who perhaps have some issues that shouldn't be driving, but a lot of things that change, you know, your vision changes, your medications that you take change. “You have physical things that go on, “said Fritzi Schreffler, Safety Press Officer for PennDOT. For some mature drivers, there are some things to watch out for to limit or stop driving. “If they're feeling more nervous or anxious when they're driving, that's a sign. They could also like if they're seeing unexplained dense scrapes, damages to like car doors and mailboxes, that kind of thing. That's another sign, you know, frequently getting lost or not knowing, you know, like you know where they are. That's another sign. Or if they're having other close calls, the reaction time, if they're noticing that their reaction time is slowing, that could be a sign that they might want to consider not driving as much or if they're having difficulty paying attention or staying in their lane of travel and judging the just the gaps, too, at the between their cars and things like that, “said Aimee Imana, Spokesperson for PennDOT.

The Mavericks sit down with Dr. Teri Cassidy of Fitness to Drive which specializes in services for driver safety. Dr. Terri Cassidy started Health Promotion Partners in 2018 in response to a need in the community. Many hospital-based programs for driver rehabilitation had closed across the state and families were left to make decisions about driving without comprehensive medical and performance-based assessment. Terri's vision was to create a program where she could offer excellence in driver rehabilitation and expand the scope of services to work with drivers of all ages. The foundation of this vision is the belief that we can influence health throughout the lifespan by helping clients select and engage in meaningful life activities. Driving can be key to accessing those activities. We have driving clinics in Colorado Springs, Westminster, and Fort Collins. #driversafety #olderadults #familycaregivers #caregiving #cars #automobiles

When is a car "safe enough"? Turns out it's not such a simple answer. From a lack of software oversight to self-certification issues to more recalls (from every company) than you could imagine, building cars is challenging, especially as ADAS systems get more common and complicated. Phil Koopman is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In the car realm, he is the writer of Safe Autonomy blog, covering self-driving technology. His new book, "How Safe is Safe Enough? Measuring and Predicting Autonomous Vehicle Safety", analyzes the alleged safety improvements that autonomous cars will provide. https://safeautonomy.blogspot.com/https://safeautonomy.blogspot.com/2022/09/book-how-safe-is-safe-enough-measuring.htmlMassive list of recalls: https://betterembsw.blogspot.com/p/potentially-deadly-automotive-software.html Recorded January 16, 2024  Say goodbye to harsh smoke and coughing attacks by shopping the smoothest pipes, bubblers, bongs and more at https://www.thefreezepipe.com  and use code TIRE for 10% offyour entire order. Want your question answered?

The Henry County Farm Bureau is talking about Driver Safety. Katie Laleman from the Henry County Farm Bureau joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday morning to talk about harvest season and specifically about equipment on the roads in Henry County and how to stay safe when driving behind or attempting to pass Farm Equipment. The Henry County Farm Bureau recently made visits to schools in Henry County with the Henry County Sheriff's Office and a driving simulator that gives kids the chance to see what driving in farm traffic can be like. But, the most important piece of equipment was farm equipment. Kids got the chance to climb inside the kind of equipment they may one day end up driving behind for a chance to understand what the farmer sees versus what you as a driver can see.
