RISK AND EMPLOYER LIABILITY

K. Verderame, CEO of Pondera and Former Chief Counsel for Fortune 500 Company

6

Companies are becoming

aware of the rapidly increasing risks associated with distracted driving…

7

…leading many to

enact paper policies to limit, or prohibit, employee use of cell phones while driving.

8

Paper polices are an important first step, but by themselves…

are an incomplete solution.

9

…to maximize protection against potential liability, companies must

proactively enforce the policies they implement.

10

Not a theoretical risk

“Scope of work” is broadly defined

Plaintiffs can readily connect cell phone use to employers

Consider the following:

Local Fleet MRM Market• Despite weak economy in CY09 the

M2M grew due to corporate desire to reduce risk and opex.

• CY09 bright spot mid/large fleets invested in technology to reduce opex.

• A number of major MRM suppliers report that 2010 is shaping up to be a strong year, with growth of 20% or more.

• Market remains fragmented, though consolidation is picking up, with several private equity firms acquiring major suppliers in the U.S. and Europe.


Local Fleet MRM Trends – Current

• Executive dashboards for real time view of fleet status/activity

• Increased use of satellite images via Google / other mapping services

• Navigation and dispatch services via integration with Garmin PNDs

• Lower prices to fleet operators for GPRS/GPS devices (<$350)

• Pressure on monthly service fees due to competitive market

• Strong appetite to monitor driver behavior to reduce risk and fleet opex

16

• Monitoring & modifying employee driver behavior is a significant trend among fleet managers

Fuel consumption

Idle time

Rapid acceleration / deceleration

• Monitoring & modifying employee use of mobile phones while driving is a logical extension of this trend

Minimize distractions
