"Know More Facts about the Unsafe Driving BASIC"
Article published on Tuesday, January 24, 2012
The Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Website now
features the Unsafe Driving Behavior Analysis and Safety
Improvement Category (BASIC) factsheet. This new factsheet is one
in a series of seven that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) released on January 17, 2012 to better
educate motor carriers, commercial motor vehicle drivers, and other
industry stakeholders on CSA's seven safety categories. Motor
carriers and drivers can access this factsheet, as well as
the other BASIC factsheets, on the Resources page.
This week FMCSA is highlighting the Unsafe Driving BASIC
factsheet, which addresses the careless and dangerous operation of
commercial motor vehicles by drivers, as outlined under Parts 392
and 397 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
Motor carriers and drivers can refer to this factsheet for
information about the types of documents associated with this BASIC
they should keep, such as driver training certificates, and for
information about how to proactively handle unsafe driving
problems.
