1. Driver Safety Continuing Education Third Quarter 2018
Introduce the module. Explain that the intent of this presentation is to serve as a continuing education training topic related to certain aspects from the ET&D 10-Hour OSHA training class, the OSHA Partnership Best Practices, and/or incident trending analysis

2. Why Safe Driving Is Important?
They Depend on You!
Ask the group if they believe that safe driving is an important topic? Naturally, the desired answer is “Yes!” Then ask why the feel that the topic is important? Gather and collect their answers. Then trigger the animation and state that there are people (the public in general, other drivers, families, co-workers) that depend on us, as drivers, to make safe and rational decisions when driving.

3. Objectives
Upon completion of this continuing education module you should be able to:
Explain the safe driving factors
Understand the critical types of crashes
Understand fatigued driving avoidance
Understand the dangers of distracted driving
Apply accident avoidance techniques
Explain that this is Third quarter 2018 topic. Read and explain the Objectives for course. Announce that this first section will address the topics of proactive driving, crash facts and types and four safe driving factors. 5 5 5 5 5

4. Key Concepts Session One
Announce that this next section will address the topic of fatigue and its common causes pertaining to driving. Ask if anyone can define the term “fatigue” and what may be the signs or symptoms of fatigue?

5. Take a Proactive Approach to Safe Driving
Read and state the intent of this training module and stress the distinction between proactive and reactive. Proactive drivers take the steps necessary to prevent potential problems before they turn into real problems.
This training module is intended to instruct drivers on the importance of taking a proactive approach when operating a motor vehicle, rather than being reactive to the driving conditions

8. Safe Driving Practices
Try to not “Pull-in” park
Try to find a spot where exit is forward
Consider back-in if pull through is not an option
If backing is only option, use a spotter
Make “forward” the first move from park
Many collisions occur when making the first move from park
Eliminates the need for a spotter
Parking is a controlled environment
If possible, avoid unprotected left turns
Turn right and then turn around when safe to do so
Explain how safe driving factors such as avoiding pull in parking, making “forward” the first move from park, and avoiding where possible making left turns in congested areas enhances driver safety. 5 5 5 5 5
