In 2005, 848,000 crashes in the U.S. occurred under rain, sleet, or snow conditions, and although there are far fewer vehicles on roadways at nighttime, over half of all vehicle crashes involving fatalities occurred in dim or dark lighting.* Certainly environmental conditions play a significant role in vehicle crashes. The most unfortunate aspect of such collisions is that oftentimes they are entirely preventable. The main culprit in such crashes is not the effect of the environment but the drivers who failed to recognize the hazardous conditions and drive appropriately.
 
Environmental conditions that can affect driving include weather, visibility, and road surface quality. All of these require drivers to be able to respond appropriately and suit their driving performance to make sure the vehicle handles safely under the conditions present. This course reviews these environmental conditions and explains the required driver responses to ensure safe vehicle operations.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • recognize hazardous conditions on the roadway
