Compass Maneuvering
Truck Version ( 21 minutes – 2006 )

 
Backing collisions and fixed object, forward motion collisions are consistently at, or near the top of the list of fleet reportable incidents – but they don’t need to be. Working with thousands of drivers every year gives us rare insight into why collisions happen and how they can be prevented. Sometimes these incidents occur because drivers fail to build an accurate mental picture of their vehicle’s relationship with the objects that surround them. Sometimes they happen because people don’t take a routine, systematic approach to these slow speed maneuvers. Compass Maneuvering couples an innovative, versatile, but simple-to-master collision avoidance technique with an easy to use mental checklist. Compass Maneuvering is a powerful collision prevention tool. The “5 Keys” and our unique use of a visual, mobile compass will shift the educational balance toward collision prevention.
