Driving an average of 35,000 miles a year, one learns to become aware of his surroundings at all times. Radios, cell phones and eating are all distractions that can cost you money or your life.  Many times, just knowing where I am in relation to other vehicles has saved me from being in an accident.

If your employees drive on behalf of your business, do you have a policy to prevent distracted driving? A safe driving policy can prevent damage to company vehicles and, more importantly, save lives.  

If you don’t have a safe driving policy, consider implementing one in 2012. Lyman & Sheets can provide you with templates for safe driving policies and cell phone use policies to help you get started. Contact us to learn more.
