Embark Safety Adds Distracted
Driving Training Lesson to Curb Driver Inattention
Embark
Safety, the provider of Drivers Notification program - How’s My
Driving? and safety management solutions, has expanded its online driver
training suite to include an award winning Distracted Driving: The Decisions
You Make© training to both its Passenger Vehicle and Heavy Truck modules.
Drivers who use hand-held devices are 4 times more likely to
get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves. The most recent data
available by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
2010, shows that 18 percent of all police-reported crashes (fatal, injury-only
and property-damage-only) involved reports of distracted driving. This translates
to thousands of fatalities and over 400,000 injured people each year. The
bottom line is simple- when the operator of a vehicle engages in non-essential
driving activities, that person’s ability to properly identify, evaluate and
react to changing traffic conditions and hazards in a timely manner is greatly
diminished.
Using advanced, behavioral learning techniques to affect and
reinforce positive behavioral changes, The Decisions You Make© challenges and
motivates the learner to become an active, positive decision maker while
driving to avoid unfortunate consequences. By incorporating sophisticated,
state-of-the-art learning aids including a range of interactivities such as: visual games, challenges and "pop"
quizzes, the learner quickly realizes his/her limitations to drive safely while
attempting to perform non-essential driving activities. The lesson concludes
with a call to action for the learner to commit to becoming a conscientious
driver - taking responsibility for his/her actions behind the wheel.
