Subsequent analysis of the rating scales showed that drivers of cabs with ABS
made sharper turns in curves, were less accurate in their lane-holding
behaviour, proceeded at a shorter forward sight distance, made more poorly
adjusted merging manoeuvres and created more 'traffic conflicts'."
ON TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND ACCIDENTS AT
INTERSECTIONS
The latter is also true for the average severity of intersection accidents.
Although driver actions are drastically altered by these devices, accident loss is
not, and the risk remains the same."
MANAGING RISK
Poor night vision will not increase a person's accident risk unless the person is
unaware of it or is willing to accept high levels of accident risk.
Deficiencies in skills and sensory functioning, other things being equal, can
increase a person's accident likelihood only to the extent that these
deficiencies are being underestimated by the person in question, and thus lead
to an inappropriately low level of perceived risk."

Fleet management solution saves a Transport Company 80 000 litres of fuel in
six months
• A Transport and Warehousing Company recently reported that Ctrack, saved
them 80 000 litres of fuel over their entire fleet of 250 vehicles in 2015 over just
a period of six months. This was due largely to managing drivers’ speed
violations and reducing downtime of their vehicles, which was made possible by
utilising Ctrack’s advanced fleet management solution.
• The results were impressive. In the second quarter of 2015, speeding events
were reduced by 48%, while a fuel saving of 2% was seen. During the third
quarter, there was a further reduction of 32% in speeding events, together with
a fuel saving of 2%. This equals to a fuel saving of 80 000 litres (approximately
R900 000) over two quarters in 2015.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The African region remains the least motorised of the six world
regions, possessing only 2% of the world’s vehicles, but suffers the
highest rates of road traffic fatalities, contributing up to 16% of
global road fatalities

Conclusion “ Based on the evidence supplied and sourced, set out herein, the following
conclusions and/or indications can be made: It remains highly improbable (Virtually
Impossible) that the driver of the Volvo would have avoided the accident. It must reasonably
be assumed that at some point prior to impact that even if the Volvo driver had reduced his
speed as a precautionary action (let`s assume to 60km/h), the Toyota would nonetheless
have entered the path of the Volvo.
Assuming various factors it can be calculated that the Volvo would have required a distance
and time of approximately 41.3meters and 4 seconds respectively to have brought his
vehicle to a stop from 60km/h. “ Report compiled by Mr. C Proctor – Parker (Accident
Specialist).
MASTERDRIVE DRIVING ASSESSMENT
Conclusion:
Had the drive not been in a state of micro sleeping he would have noticed the suspicious
pedestrian at around 00:03. At this point he had enough distance and time to reduce speed
and alter his position to deal with the pedestrian effectively and safely.
The standard defensive driver awareness tool is S.I.P.D.E – Search. Identify. Predict.
Decide. Execute.) Clearly this was not used or even considered by the driver.
As a defensive driver the definition states that he should “drive so as to prevent a crash
despite the incorrect action of other road users in all weather, road or traffic conditions”.
