Driver Security and Preventative Measures

There is mounting proof that investing in cameras now can save money in the long run by lowering compensation and legal costs. Aside from the initial investment fees, some people are concerned that a dash camera would capture evidence that can be used against them in court.

Although a legitimate worry, there are so much more advantages to use than there are disadvantages. While footage may show a driver at blame, this information can offer firms incentives to settle a claim as soon as possible.

Video cameras can significantly improve safety training initiatives and offer new training options. So, it is possible to use security footage to educate drivers about the risks associated with seat belt use, following too closely, being inattentive, and exceeding posted speeds.

The footage is an effective training tool since it depicts real-life situations and can be used to initiate discussions on how to avoid such incidents in the future. It demonstrates how rapidly negative things may occur and how quickly a scenario can worsen. Drivers can be trained in the proper preventative actions using video recordings.

The optimal solution is to install in-cab, road/driver-facing cameras since no company can place a safety manager in every truck's cab. The camera/telematics system offered by Netradyne is the best-in-class in regards to monitoring in-cab video and tracking for dangerous driving behaviors, such as distracted driving, talking on the phone, or even nodding off.

The road-facing camera also monitors safe following distance, excessive lane changes, Overspeed, and forward hazards, adding seconds to the driver's reaction to minor habits that can lead to risk. Call us today to learn more about how My Diesel Savings Program can help you.
