As a truck driver in the states, there are many rules you need to keep in mind while going about your tasks. An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) incorporates most of these safety measures to ensure you stay safe and compliant on the road.
An ELD is a mandated requirement for commercial drivers in most states. An ELD is a reliable way for you to ensure smooth and safe driving without risking any violations. With this device, you can create a safer environment on the road for yourself and others.
Having an ELD in every commercial vehicle became mandatory after April 1, 2018. The law was enforced to track every driver’s Hours of Service (HoS). It helps the Department of Transportation keep an eye on the violations and prevent them. [Read more…] about Why Do Truck Drivers Need ELDs?

The latest round of Euro NCAP results feature assessment of four new cars with “Level 2 Assisted Driving systems”.
The gradings are based on dedicated protocols designed to encourage the safe adoption of Assisted Driving technology.
The safest systems should provide a good balance of performance across three key areas: the technical competence of the system and level of assistance it can safely offer, the feedback given to the driver to ensure they remain engaged and aware of their responsibilities, and how the car’s safety back-up mechanisms function in the event of an emergency.
