Lancer’s Driver Training Event, which was originally presented during the UMA Motorcoach Expo 2021, is a three-session webinar designed to help professional motorcoach drivers increase their knowledge and improve their driving skills.
Session One: Pre-Trip Inspection, Following Distance, and Turning
Regional Manager Jeff Marley discusses inspection techniques to help ensure that your motorcoach is ready for service and free of defects; what you can do to help avoid getting in a rear-end collision with another vehicle; and useful and practical safety tips to help prevent accidents while turning.
Session Two: Customer Care and Passenger Safety, Technology, and Managing an Accident Scene
Regional Manager Dan Tomlinson provides suggestions for moving people safely and reliably while delivering a personal and positive experience; discusses how technology impacts today’s motorcoach drivers; and reviews what motorcoach drivers should do and not do when involved in a vehicular accident.
Session Three: Distractions, Fatigue, and Change Blindness
Vice President Bob Crescenzo examines common driving distractions and the challenges presented by pedestrians, bicyclists and motor scooters; the impact of sleep loss on drivers and strategies to help combat fatigue while on the road; and change blindness, the perceptual phenomenon that occurs when a driver misses something right before their eyes.
