Do HOW AM I DRIVING decals work?
The HOW AM I DRIVING decal is a very effective tool that has been used by businesses and parents / guardians of teenage drivers to influence better driving behavior.
The concept is simple – the decal on the vehicle solicits feedback from other drivers on the road.
Is there data supporting the effectiveness of HOW’s MY DRIVING programs
Studies have found that vehicles displaying the decal are involved in 22% fewer accidents and result in a 52% reduction in accident-related costs.
Most such programs have been available for businesses and utilized by fleet vehicles or vehicles driving by employee drivers. But given the effectiveness, its a no-brainer for private citizens to make use of this approach and keep their loved ones safe on the road.
The SafeRoads Project does just that! Anyone, in any country can use SafeRoadsProject.com to report drivers who are not fully alert or may not be fully safe while behind the wheel
Crowd sourced reports to help make our roads safer
By enlisting the help of fellow drivers who share the road with us, each of us can help get more disciplined when at the wheel.
This works great for aggressive drivers, dangerously slow drivers, over confident drivers who rarely use their turn signals, drivers who use the phone or text while on the road and also for Student drivers or younger drivers who may be easily distracted while at the wheel.
