The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has developed a Web site designed to raise truck driver awareness about common driving errors and to provide valuable driving tips.

Fleet safety managers also can use the Web site for driver training programs.

The driving tips, ideas, and suggestions are supported with real-world video clips recorded in a naturalistic (open roadway, non-test track) driving study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI). Each video is followed by a set of questions.
