Early morning commute hours combine several high-risk factors simultaneously, like reduced alertness from insufficient sleep, higher traffic density as commuters compete with work vehicles for road space, low sun angles that create severe glare at critical moments, and a significantly higher proportion of impaired drivers than most people associate with morning hours.
Workers who start early shifts and drive to or between job sites during these hours face a risk profile that most driver safety programs don't specifically address.
Our Defensive Driver Training covers time-specific hazards and the techniques that keep drivers safe regardless of when they're on the road. Enroll at apsafetytrainingsolutions.com!
