When is CVSA’s Safe Driver Week and what are they going to focus on?
This year the annual Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Roadcheck is scheduled to take place July 12-18. This year the (CVSA) will be focusing on excessive speeding by commercial motor vehicle drivers. The group noted that with fewer vehicles on the road due to COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, many jurisdictions are seeing a spike in speeding.
During the roadchecks the inspection might cover driver’s license checks, identifying the motor carrier, checking medical examiner certificates, medical variance documents and daily vehicle inspection reports. Other driver-focused categories include seat belt use, sickness or fatigue, and alcohol and/or drug possession or impairment.
Prepare Drivers for Roadcheck
Inspections are conducted every day of the year across North America, but drivers should realize that the risk of being stopped will increase during roadchecks.
