Course Overview
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.
By the end of this course, you will be able to identify:
- Six major factors that contribute to rear-end collisions
- How to avoid colliding with a vehicle
- How to reduce the risk of another vehicle colliding from the rear
