It may seem like common sense, but you can never have enough reminders about the importance of safe driving. As winter weather arrives, professional drivers – especially those of school buses – should be reminded about the importance of slowing down and increasing following distance.
VML Insurance Programs (VMLIP) has developed a flier that can be posted throughout facilities where bus and other drivers may see it. The flier can be downloaded and printed here.
Members enrolled in the Where the Rubber Meets the Road (WTRMTR) campaign have access to a School Bus Safety Kit. However, all members have access to the Winter Driving Safety (WI15) course through the VMLIP Online University.
Snow and ice don’t cause accidents – drivers do. VMLIP encourages all drivers to slow down and leave more space around their vehicles or buses. For more information and resources, contact your safety consultant.
