Driving & Transportation

Rear-end collisions can be very serious since the vehicle that is struck from behind is usually stopped or moving very slowly while the other vehicle is in motion. The potential for catastrophe is amplified when the vehicle in motion is a van or truck and the vehicle that is struck is a smaller vehicle such as an automobile. This course focuses on the common causes of rear-end collisions and what drivers of light commercial vehicles can do to reduce their risk of being involved in such a collision.

Rear end collisions can be very serious since the vehicle that is struck from behind is usually stopped or moving very slowly while the other vehicle is in motion. The potential for catastrophe is amplified when the vehicle in motion is a van or truck and the vehicle that is struck is a smaller vehicle such as an automobile. In this lesson we will focus on several common causes and scenarios concerning rear end collisions.

(H5) Rear-end collisions can be very serious since the vehicle that is struck from behind is usually stopped or moving very slowly while the other vehicle is in motion. This course describes the common causes of rear-end collisions and what drivers of light commercial vehicles can do to reduce their risk of being involved in such a collision. Topics in this course include: Lack of Concentration, Following Distance, Running Late or Being in a Hurry, Intersections and Caution Lights, Construction Zones, and Fatigue. After completing this course, learners will be able to recognize how to reduce the risk of another vehicle colliding from the rear.

Most vehicle accidents are actually the result of human error. If an error is made at the wrong moment, an accident or collision will result. A consistent, defensive approach to driving is the best way to reduce the likelihood of driver error. The goal of this course is simple: to provide you with the knowledge and safe driving techniques you need to prevent collisions and violations.

A split-second decision can change your life, especially when you are behind the wheel of a fast-moving, heavy vehicle. Take this course to refresh your memory about safe driving practices – particularly what you need to do before you drive, while you drive and in the event of an accident. Ideal learners: Anyone who drives cars or small vehicles
