New Program Allows Public to Report Bad Drivers in Georgia State Cars

ATLANTA -- From now on, all of Georgia's 21,000 vehicles, except those assigned to law-enforcement use, will have a bumper stick urging motorists to "report my driving," both bad and good, to a new "report my driving" Web site.

ATLANTA -- From now on, all of Georgia’s 21,000 vehicles, except those assigned to law-enforcement use, will have a bumper stick urging motorists to "report my driving," both bad and good, to a new "report my driving" Web site. Several issues are driving the new initiative, unveiled by Gov. Sonny Perdue. One, he said, is financial. Just knowing it's easier for the public to report their transgressions could make some state employees drive more carefully, said Perdue. In turn, that could reduce the state's accident claims, which have cost taxpayers $10.5 million since 2002. "I believe our state drivers are safe drivers, but there are some exceptions. And this program will assure that all state drivers are accountable to the public we serve, and will encourage them to drive safely and responsibly at all times," Perdue said. "Until now, we have lacked clearly defined methods to report and respond to complaints by motorists. But with this accountability system in place, we can look to the experience of other operators of large fleets nationwide," he said. Perdue pointed to an insurance company study that showed accidents dropped 22 percent in one fleet when a similar program was used. Since 2002, rear-ending other motorists has been the most frequent cause of accident claims for the state, resulting in 623 incidents and costing $4 million. The second-most costly violation was failure to yield, which resulted in 757 claims and cost $2 million.
