Welcome to another edition of the Secure Transportation News – our regular recap of content on Secure Transportation.

The question that many Security Drivers and Secure Transportation providers have heard – “Why do I need a Security Driver – Why can’t we use a chauffeur service?” Or – why can’t we use an Uber or Lyft car?

Good question and as a professional security driver or secure transportation provider you need a good answer.

In today’s episode, we have three news stories to share – the driver of a Tesla charged with vehicular manslaughter, we’ll take a look at a few executive vehicle’s impressive skid pad tests and what that means for the security driver, and a new tech venture with Ford and ADT to combat thieves. 

With all the inherent risks security drivers secure transportation service providers face on the road, there is probably none more so than road rage or aggressive driving. So, today we are talking all about road rage – what it is, how to avoid it, and some interesting statistics that show the impact of road rage.

In the December issue of Secure Transportation news we look ahead to the future and the upcoming challenges, shortages, and enhanced vehicle technology.

There are two topics for discussion in today’s episode, they are the future of secure transportation, and marketing the service of secure transportation, and determining your value.

The number of carjacking incidents reported by the Department of Justice is about 49,000 per year.  In some locations in the U.S., the number of Carjackings is becoming an epidemic – it can happen to anyone anywhere and anytime. 

A book makes a great gift that keeps on giving well after the holidays. We have put together a collection of International Security Driver Association member’s books that we feel would make great holiday gifts for yourself and other protection practitioners in your network.

For this week’s episode we are revisiting a previous topic, tires and tire pressures, to answer a question we received, and we’ll introduce a new paradigm – the Dynamic Driving and the Human Driving Tasks.
