Employers: Should You Have a Cell Phone Driving Policy?

At Ultimate Defensive Driving, we know how important it is for your business to use safety at all times. This can help by reducing cost in insurance premiums and in the liability of being involved in vehicle crashes. One major question we are repeatedly asked is about creating a company driving policy about cell phones. This is an extremely important topic since approximately 6,000 fatalities and 500,000 injuries are caused by distracted drivers every year.

We know that the best defense for any company is to create a knowledgeable safe driver that will drive at all times scanning for potential crash threats. By using proper defensive driving techniques your drivers will not only decrease the chance of crashes resulting in fatalities, but will help in reducing cost in operations as well.

No family should have to experience the death of a loved one because of a distracted driver. Multiple studies have proven that the use of cell phones makes it 2.8 times more likely to get into a crash than non-distracted drivers. Therefore, a well written policy that will help employees stay focused while on the road is a necessity.

There is an easy step by step process to formulating safe driving skills in the workplace. We have worked diligently to perfect these steps and implement them in our students. We guarantee graduates of our program will have the knowledge and confidence to do things right when on the open road. The secret is in our presentation, which is different than any formal training you will find anywhere. No matter where your company is located, we will help you embark on your new path to company protection and responsibility.
