Managers: The Secret Weapon in Your Driver Risk Management Toolbox
By Ed Dubens, Founder/CEO of eDriving
Are the Managers of your Drivers playing their part in creating a crash-free culture across your organization?
Official figures revealed a surge in deaths on U.S. roadways in the first quarter of 2021 – a 10.5 percent increase from the same period last year. And we already know that around 94% of collisions can be attributed to driver attitudes and behaviors, which tells us that the key to reducing collisions is to improve those attitudes and behaviors. But does that mean that your driver risk management program should focus purely on driver attitudes and behaviors, or those of managers, too?
eDriving’s primary research has proven what other cognitive studies have shown: namely, that training – whether virtual or in person – can only change the risk level of a driver so much. Personal performance coaching has been found to be one of the best methods of reinforcing safer, sustained low-risk behaviors.

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month
October is Pedestrian Safety Month, the goal: to increase awareness around pedestrian safety and remind drivers to watch for pedestrians each and every time they are behind the wheel.
Each week, we will focus on a theme, and share information about being a safe driver and keeping those who walk safe. Walking is a part of many of our trips each day, and for some it is their primary mode of transportation.
Week 1: Everyone Is a Pedestrian
We’ll be focusing on embracing walking as a healthy form of transportation. At some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian. Whether it’s walking to your car, walking to the office, or walking for exercise, everyone deserves to get to their destination safely.
