🇺🇦 ACCIDENTS: Preventable vs Non-Preventable
Кожна аварія впливає на safety score компанії, страхування та репутацію перевізника.
Але важливо розуміти: не всі accidents вважаються preventable.
🔴 Preventable Accident — це аварія, якої водій міг уникнути:
• distracted driving
• unsafe following distance
• speeding
• improper lane change
• lack of attention to road conditions
🟢 Non-Preventable Accident — це ситуація, коли водій зробив усе правильно, але не міг контролювати дії інших:
• інший автомобіль вʼїхав у parked truck
• rear-end collision while stopped legally
• struck by drunk or reckless driver
• unavoidable road hazard
Як уникнути preventable accidents:
✔ maintain safe following distance
✔ stay focused on the road
✔ avoid phone use while driving
✔ reduce speed during bad weather
✔ complete proper pre-trip inspections
✔ practice defensive driving
Accident prevention — це не лише про безпеку.
Це також про lower insurance costs, better CSA scores та стабільну роботу компанії.

🇺🇸 ACCIDENTS: Preventable vs Non-Preventable
Every accident affects a company’s safety score, insurance rates, and reputation.
But it’s important to understand: not all accidents are considered preventable.
🔴 Preventable Accident — an accident the driver could have avoided:
• distracted driving
• unsafe following distance
• speeding
• improper lane change
• failure to pay attention to road conditions
🟢 Non-Preventable Accident — situations where the driver did everything correctly but could not control another party:
• another vehicle hits a parked truck
• rear-end collision while legally stopped
• struck by a reckless or drunk driver
• unavoidable road hazards
How to reduce preventable accidents:
✔ maintain safe following distance
✔ stay focused on the road
✔ avoid cellphone use while driving
✔ slow down during bad weather
✔ perform proper pre-trip inspections
✔ practice defensive driving
Accident prevention is not only about safety.
It also helps reduce insurance costs, improve CSA scores, and protect your business
