AIM HIGH – SEE LOW
If you aim high, you can still see low.
This is due to the design of your vision.
![Page 12: Intermediate District 287 RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. SOLUTIONS. Drivers Training 2015-16.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/5697c0191a28abf838cce453/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS LEAVE SPACE AROUND YOUR VEHICLE
BE AN ANTI-SOCIAL DRIVER
KEEP MOVING AND YOU ARE LESS OF A TARGET
![Page 14: Intermediate District 287 RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. SOLUTIONS. Drivers Training 2015-16.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/5697c0191a28abf838cce453/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

KEY FIVE: MAKE SURE THEY SEE YOU
• “Your Big Picture” includes people who may not be aware of your presence, even though they should.
• To get their attention, you need to get eye contact.”
• There are various ways to seek eye contact with other drivers and pedestrians.
• Use your warning devices appropriately:o Lights, Horn, hand signal, wave,o Brake lights, turn signals.
• Avoid driving in the blind areas of other drivers.
• Look behind you when stopping or slowing.• Check your mirrors.

Defensive Driving: Is this 3-4 seconds following distance?
![Page 18: Intermediate District 287 RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. SOLUTIONS. Drivers Training 2015-16.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/5697c0191a28abf838cce453/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What does “Merge” mean?

Motor Vehicle Crashes
No. 1 cause of death for 3- to 34-year-olds
An estimated 39,000 to 46,000 people killed in crashes every year
The National Safety Council reported in 2011 that the three biggest causes of fatalities on the road include:
1. Alcohol (30.8%)
2. Speeding (30%)
3. Distracted driving (26%)
Distractions now
join
alcohol and
speeding as
leading factors in
fatal and serious
injury crashes.

How Cell Phones Distract
Visual – Eyes off road
Mechanical – Hands off wheel
Cognitive – Mind off driving
CHALLENGE: Drivers don’t understand or realize that talking on a cell phone distracts the brain and takes focus away from the primary task of driving.

Millions of People are Texting While Driving
18% of drivers admit to texting while driving:
4% of Boomers 15% of Gen X 39% of Gen Y 36% of Teen Drivers
![Page 23: Intermediate District 287 RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. SOLUTIONS. Drivers Training 2015-16.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/5697c0191a28abf838cce453/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Problem National Safety Council estimates
that 1 in 4 car crashes involves cell phone use
Hands-free seen as solution and mistakenly believed to be safer than handheld
People recognize the risk of talking on handheld and texting more than the risk of hands-free
Most legislation focuses on only handheld devices or texting
All state laws and some employer policies allow hands-free devices (Law -Type III Van Drivers can’t use hands-free devices in Minnesota)
Hands-free
devices offer
no safety benefit
when driving.

Medication Affects Subtle changes in a driver’s perception can be
extremely dangerous. Slight drowsiness, dizziness, or visual impairment may go unnoticed, and drivers may believe that they are able to drive when they should not.
Over-the-Counter Medications
If taking common over-the-counter medications, such as pain relievers and nasal decongestants:
Read all warnings.
Consult a pharmacist with any questions.
If trying a new medication, take it at a time when you will not need to drive.
Prescription Medications
Prescription medications usually have stronger side effects. Before you start driving or using other heavy machinery, assure that your medication has no side effects. Ask your pharmacist or medical provider if it is safe for you to drive while taking the prescribed medications, and take your first dose at a time when you will not need to drive.

![Page 33: Intermediate District 287 RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. SOLUTIONS. Drivers Training 2015-16.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/5697c0191a28abf838cce453/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

![Page 34: Intermediate District 287 RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. SOLUTIONS. Drivers Training 2015-16.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/5697c0191a28abf838cce453/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
It Begins with Prevention Preventing vehicle issues is a
team effort. The more drivers and mechanics
communicate, the less mechanical surprises you will have throughout the school year.
Preform an effective Pre-trip inspection.
Hear, smell and feel trouble “starting”. Never just assume you can “wait” to point out trouble.
Report any issues or questions with the vans to the Transportation Coordinator.

Requirements
Check that a pre-trip has been completed for the day, if not you need to complete the pre-trip before driving the van.
Moving Violations MUST be reported
Personal cell phone use is prohibited
The driver shall not
use a Nextel while
Vehicle is in motion.
