Dave Talks: Fleet Meets Feet, SAFER Defensive Driving for Pedestrian Safety

In this impactful Tuesday Tips video, Dave Delk, National Fleet Sales Manager at NTSI, addresses the growing importance of defensive driving for pedestrian safety. With over 7,100 pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities reported in 2024, Dave calls for a renewed commitment to protecting vulnerable road users. Inspired by NTSI’s SAFER method, he presents five tips—Scan, Anticipate, Focus, Educate, and Respect—as a practical framework for fleet drivers to prevent accidents and promote a Vision Zero culture. From scanning blind spots to respecting crosswalks, this video reinforces that fleet safety is a mindset—not a seasonal task—and encourages proactive, responsible driving habits every day.
