The session guides trainees to recognize driving hazards, including human error such as reckless, distracted, fatigued, aggressive, poorly maintained vehicle use, and driving under the influence. It also covers road and weather conditions like rain, fog, glare, heavy traffic, and road work, then highlights seat belts and proper vehicle maintenance as practical measures to reduce injury and improve survival.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/defensive-driving-techniques-training/295501/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/defensive-driving-techniques-training/295501.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Ethan Miller","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-09-18",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",16,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Why is defensive driving emphasized in this training?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Defensive driving is emphasized because traffic accidents are a leading cause of accidental death and work-related fatalities.

Motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause of accidental death in the United States. They are also the number one cause of work-related fatalities.  \n• Today, we’re going to talk about defensive driving techniques that will help you avoid traffic accidents so you will always arrive at your destination safe and sound.  \nSlide Show Notes  \nThe main purpose of this session is to talk about defensive driving techniques so that you can be safe behind the wheel and avoid accidents. By the time this session is over, you will be able to:  \n• Identify driving hazards;  \n• Understand defensive driving techniques; and  \n• Use defensive driving techniques to prevent accidents and injuries on the road.  \nSlide Show Notes  \nWhen you think of work-related safety hazards, you probably think about what goes on inside the workplace. But one of the greatest threats to your safety is not in the workplace, but rather on the road.  \n• Someone is injured every 18 seconds.  \n• Over 2 million of those injuries turn out to be disabling.  \n• A person dies in a crash on U.S. roads every 11 minutes.  \n• In fact, motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of death in the United States—more than cancer or heart attacks.  \n• And, one in four work fatalities involves a motor vehicle accident. These statistics are cause for concern. They also provide the explanation for this safety training session. We don’t want you to become a statistic.  \nHave you or anyone you know ever been involved in a motor vehicle accident? Most people have had at least a fender bender. Think about the consequences of a serious accident. It could change your life—and not for the better.  \nAsk trainees to talk about motor vehicle accidents in which they or someone they know has been involved. What happened? Were there serious injuries? What have they learned from the accidents they’ve been in, heard about, or even just seen on the highway?  \nSlide Show Notes  \nHere are some key driving hazards caused by human error:  \n• Reckless driving, such as speeding, weaving through traffic, ignoring signs and signals, tailgating, and dangerous passing;  \n• Distracted driving including using cell phones, putting on make-up, eating or drinking, writing or reading, or getting wrapped up in thoughts or emotions and failing to pay attention to the road;  \n• Fatigue that results in poor judgment and slow reaction times;  \n• Aggressive driving, having to get there first and cutting people off, blowing horns, flashing lights, and making obscene or angry gestures at anyone who gets in the way;  \n• Failure to maintain vehicles in good operating condition, such as driving with brakes that aren’t working effectively, lights that are out, and bald tires; and  \n• Of course, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which is responsible for about one-third of all road accidents.  \nHave you seen any of these hazards on the road recently?  \nAsk trainees to talk about their own driving experiences recently, identifying which of these hazards they’ve seen on the road.  \nSlide Show Notes  \nIn addition to hazards caused by human error, you may also have to contend with hazards caused by dangerous road and weather conditions. For example:  \n• Bad weather conditions, such as rain, fog, wind, snow, or ice;  \n• Difficult road conditions, such as sharp curves, busy intersections, uneven surfaces, or obstacles in the road;  \n• Poor light at night or glare during the day;  \n• Heavy traffic, with a lot of stop and go, people changing lanes, and soon;  \n• Road work, with reduced or narrowed lanes; or  \n• Accidents, which can cause dangerous conditions for drivers approaching the accident scene.  \nSlide Show Notes  \n• If you’re involved in a traffic accident because of driving hazards and bad conditions, you could suffer serious injuries or even be killed.
