Shedding new light on night driving and roadside inspections
Dec. 30, 2013
Instructional Technologies, Inc. (Pro-TREAD) recently announced the availability of three new Pro-TREAD lessons: two developed to help drivers deal with the extra challenges of nighttime driving and one covering the ins and outs of commercial vehicle roadside inspections.
Three times more crashes happen at night than during the day, according to the company, and December and January are the darkest months of the year. Still, many truck drivers choose to drive at night because traffic is lighter than during the day. These night driving tips are specifically intended to help drivers deal with the body’s natural desire to sleep at night, as well as with night vision issues.
The new, 25-minute interactive training program on commercial vehicle roadside inspections answers many questions about the inspection process as well as offering drivers pointers on often-overlooked things, (such as taking off your seatbelt before the inspector arrives ---don’t do it) The lesson also includes:
Why Roadside Inspections
The Seven Levels of Inspection
Preparing for Roadside Inspections
During the Inspection
Following a Roadside Inspection
Out-of-Service Criteria
Out-of-Service Criteria for Vehicles
CVSA Out-of-Service Penalties
Other Consequences
