eDriving℠, a provider of online driver training and global driver safety management solutions, recently unveiled One More Second®, a comprehensive new course to train, educate, and motivate novice and experienced drivers to adopt safer behaviors behind the wheel.
Taking aim at the fact that more than 90% of all road incidents are caused by driver actions and behaviors rather than lack of knowledge, eDriving is focused on putting drivers in better control of their decisions behind the wheel and providing compelling reasons to modify their behavior.
