Unsafe Driving BASIC

Definition

Unsafe Driving is one of the seven CSA Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories under 49 CFR §385. Violations include speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, inattention, and seatbelt non-use. Severity weights for Unsafe Driving violations range from 1 (minor) to 10 (major); the weight scales with relevance to crash risk. Carriers with elevated Unsafe Driving percentiles should run targeted driver-by-driver review and consider speed limiters as a remediation step.
