◕ What this BASIC measures

Unsafe Driving measures driver-behavior violations (speeding, reckless, improper lane change, inattention) caught at roadside.

Investigation result

No Acute/Critical violations discovered in the past 12 months.

How to clean it up

  • FMCSA counts speeding (≥15 mph over), reckless driving, lane-departure, and improper lane-change violations from the past 24 months of roadside inspections.
  • Each violation stays in the 24-month window; the fastest way to drop this score is to accumulate clean inspections.
  • Install a speed-monitoring system and set in-cab speed alerts at 60 mph on rural interstates and 45 mph in urban corridors.
  • If this BASIC is Prioritized, expect a Warning Letter or Investigative referral within 30-90 days; document your corrective-action plan now.
  • Drivers with two speeding violations within 3 years lose their CDL for 60 days under 49 CFR 383.51; that exposure hits your insurance premium directly.
