The Police State of Mind | Spring Seminar 2014
Does what your drivers say or do really matter?

Do your drivers know what to do at the scene of an accident? What

should they say? What should they do? Are the people investigating asking the right questions or could they be causing you a legal battle that will cost you millions?

At any incident scene there is a pressure to say things or a need to help but are they putting your company at risk? What is said at an incident scene can change the liability for the incident if the wrong statements are given. Our upcoming seminar is addressing just those issues. Find out what that new truck driver involved in a incident is feeling at the scene. Find out how this scene plays out on social media and how does it influence the true facts. Learn what should be done at the scene as we recreate an incident between a school bus and a truck. Don’t miss this seminar that is sure to shock you with the results and gives you eye opening information that you will want to relay to your team immediately!
