How To Prevent Hazardous Driver Behaviour With Fleet Management System
Most of the businesses that own a fleet of vehicles are facing the problem of bad driver behavior. As companies entrust their vehicles to drivers they expect that their property will be well taken care of. However, in majority of cases drivers feel less responsible for the vehicles that don’t belong to them, thus they cause more traffic accidents and hazardous actions. As a result, company suffers from extra costs and disruptions in operations.
On the other hand, driving is a complex activity that requires multi-level skilled behaviour. Yet much of our driving behaviour is automatic, developed from experiences and requiring minimal allocations of attention. Behaviour can change as a result of learning, provided we take up new strategies and practice them until they become new schema. A good example is the Look Up – Stay Back which needs to be an automatic feature of our low risk driving based on an understanding of speed, distance and stopping capability.
You can also monitor individual vehicle performance while using Driver Behaviour Chart. In the chart below you can see that each column represents different driver behaviour during that month. Different colours indicates different hazardous actions.
