“The addition of these auxiliary cameras to our line of dash cameras not only strengthens a fleet’s commitment to driver safety and accountability, but also provides rear and side video footage that could help fleets lower their CSA Crash BASIC scores when submitted to the FMCSA Crash Preventability Determination Program" (CPDP), said Jason Hartwig, Sr. Product Manager-Technology Solutions at J. J. Keller.
According to the FMCSA’s CPDP Quarterly Statistics, carriers submitted nearly 40,000 preventability determination requests through the DataQs system. Of the eligible crashes submitted, 96% were deemed non-preventable and eliminated or scheduled for elimination from the carrier's CSA Crash BASIC.
