Driver Safety

According the Center for Disease Control (CDC), each day in the United States, approximately 9 people are killed and more than 1,000 injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver.  Distracted driving is any activity that takes your attention away from driving.

VSR has developed a Driver Safety course to help ensure the next time you get behind the wheel your not the one everybody is pointing at.  Operating a vehicle is one of the most dangerous things you can do today and with the amount of distracted drivers that are on the road you need to take the necessary steps to ensure your not their next victim.

Whether you are new to operating a vehicle or an experienced driver there is always something to learn and ways to improve your abilities.
