The driver is an important part of a successful safety program. Drivers are most intimately acquainted with the operation and performance of their equipment/vehicle, and so they should be the first to recognize that something is wrong with the unit.

Focus Areas of Post Inspections
Having mirrors in correct adjustment allows the driver the line of sight to see and the ability to avoid collisions. Mirrors that are not adjusted properly do not maximize the visibility intended by the mirror system. Drivers at G1 have been trained in the techniques of reference point driving. We wish to borrow this concept and apply it to adjusting mirrors to maximize visibility. An individual should be able to sit in the driver’s seat, look in the mirror(s), and quickly evaluate what adjustments need to be made.
