National Work Zone Awarness Week

This week, April 19-23, is National Work Zone Awareness Week for the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration.  The theme for this year, “Work Zones Need Your Undivided Attention”, alerts motorists about the small margin of error for drivers passing through these sites.  More than 700 people were killed in work zone crashes in 2008–the most current year available.  Approximately 90 % of these fatalities are motorists and their passengers (according to workzonesafety.org). DefensiveDriving.com’s driver safety courses cover how highway workers lives are in drivers hands.  This information can be beneficial to business’ wanting to implement a corporate driver training or an employee driving course to educate their fleet drivers .  For a list of benefits DefensiveDriving.com offers to employers and employees for using driver safety training click here.
