ZoomSafer's innovative safe driving software not only reduces distracted driving risks, but it might also reduce espenses - namely, your insurance rates. ZoomSafer CEO Matt Howard recently had a podcast interview with Insurance Journal, examining ways in which companies could not only proactively reduce risk, but also get rewarded for doing so. By "adopting solutions on their own and, changing their behavior," businesses can show to their insurance brokers that implementing safe driving technology has reduced their risk significantly enough to warrant a rate reduction.
Focuses on corporate responsibility to enforce safe driving policies using technology
Reston, Virginia - ZoomSafer, the leading provider of policy management software to prevent distracted driving, today released a new safe driving video, "How to Reduce Distracted Driving Risk, Liability and Expense." The video is designed to educate employers and businesses about the risks of employee distracted driving and the importance of using technology to proactively enforce a company's safe driving policy.
"Fifty percent of employees admit to texting and emailing while behind the wheel. The average cost of a single crash with injuries is more than $120,000. And, texting while driving is now illegal in 38 states," said ZoomSafer CEO Matt Howard. "If you are an employer, the odds are not in your favor. Sooner or later it is likely that you will be held responsible for an employee being involved in a distracted driving accident and the repercussions could be crippling for your business if you are not prepared."
