A routine trip can become a life-changing accident in seconds. In this episode of The Roadwise Driver, Jessica discusses how defensive driving, personal responsibility, and constant awareness can help everyone make it home safely.

In this episode:

• The responsibility professional drivers carry every time they operate a truck

• How distraction, impatience, and poor situational awareness create danger

• Personal observations about driving culture in Japan, Germany, and the United States

• Why a clean driving history still requires constant vigilance

Whether you are a new CDL driver, an experienced trucker, or a motorist who shares the road with commercial vehicles, you cannot control every driver. You can, however, control the space, attention, and judgment you bring to the road.
