In addition to managing your company's cars, Localiza Fleet Solutions also helps your employees drive safely and sustainably.
For your trips to be easy and productive, we recommend that you:
• Maintain a calm, positive, attentive and respectful attitude, thereby contributing to your own and other's safety.
• Respect traffic signs. Yield. Signalize and let others know what you're going to do.
• Avoid bad driving habits like coasting in neutral, resting your hand on the gear shift and driving with your foot resting on the clutch or your arm resting in the window. That way you'll ensure safe driving and protect the car from unnecessary wear that could put your life and that of others at risk.
• Plan your trip – that way you'll save fuel and avoid accidents by anticipating situations in order to make safe and correct decisions.
• Pay close attention while driving: 90% of traffic accidents are caused by human error and cars are the main type of vehicle involved.
• Never drive when you're tired or have been drinking or taking drugs. And always obey the speed limit – the faster you're going, the longer it will take to stop the vehicle.
• Always keep your vehicle properly maintained. Preventative maintenance avoids accidents and allows you to save money on vehicle maintenance and repair costs.
• Sit up straight while driving. In addition to being more comfortable, it's healthier and safer. When your seat is positioned correctly, you have the necessary strength in your arms to turn quickly to avoid a pothole or an accident, your seatbelt will work efficiently in a collision and it will help prevent tired, sore muscles and even back pain.
