This training addresses all the talk about driving distractions. While this issue is discussed, most people don't realize how often they are distracted while driving. A new study shows that up to 50% of crashes involve some sort of driver distraction. This new program helps learners become aware of this increasingly dangerous behavior.
The course includes a two car crash that is investigated and shows how each driver was distracted leading up to the crash. It also includes an interview with a woman who was severely injured in a crash caused by a distracting cell phone conversation. Her parents also talk about how their entire family's lives were changed by the crash.
