\u201cRoad safety \u2014 that\u2019s our mission; trying to advance road safety and prevent crashes.\u201d \u2014 Susan Gillies-Hipp
\xa0
\u201cDriving fatigued can be just as dangerous \u2014 if not more dangerous \u2014 than driving impaired. It\u2019s really an essential issue that we need to make sure we\u2019re addressing.\u201d \u2014 Susan Gillies-Hipp
\xa0
\u201cNHTSA \u2026 put out their estimates for road traffic fatalities a couple of months ago. Their estimate is higher than it has ever been since 2005. About 42,915 lost their lives on U.S. roadways in 2021 \u2014 that\u2019s an increase of 10.5% from the prior year in 2020.\u201d \u2014 Susan Gillies-Hipp

\u201cAddress the issue now. Be proactive. \u2026 Because, if you wait, and then you are liable for something that happens, your company can \u2026 have a lawsuit on your hands because one of your drivers did something that could have injured or \u2026 killed another driver.\u201d \u2014 Susan Gillies-Hipp
