There are two ways to eliminate it [By Avis Fleet](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/author/avis-fleet) August 24, 2020 - - - There’s usually nothing good to come out of a road accident.   At the best of times, they’re utterly inconvenient, costing companies thousands of rands in repair costs, driver (and thus production) downtime and insurance administration.   ![Busy freeway with blurred car lights](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/is-the-stress-of-fleet-accident-management-getting-you-down-there-are-two-ways-to-eliminate-it.jpg)   ## Avis Fleet Accident Management removes the stress with these two protocols There’s a happy ending to this story: fleet management specialists will take the stress and hassle out of [fleet accident management](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/fleet-accident-management/), freeing up you and your staff to focus on core business functions.   These are some of the ways a fleet management specialist, such as Avis Fleet, can assist you in reducing your stress by taking control of fleet accident management.   ### 1. Prevention is better than cure: driver behaviour analysis and training According to the International Organisation of Road Accident Prevention, human error accounts for over 90% of road accidents. Therefore, it’s strongly advised that fleet drivers are trained correctly to avoid accidents.   However, in order to gauge where the training gaps are, fleet owners need to have the correct information so as to devise the best solution. Avis Fleet’s [Telematics](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/telematics/) product is your answer and is a crucial component in fleet accident management. This is how it works:   Telematics technology is a tracking device that generates reports for its fleet driving clients. The product determines when a driver:   - Speeds excessively - Over-revs - Idles - Brakes too fast - Takes inefficient routes to carry out business activities - Begins and ends their journeys Avis Fleet’s Telematics product has the additional feature of alerting the driver if they are in excess of the speed limit, enabling the driver to self-correct.   Instead of the driver getting into trouble, this system helps the situation from escalating and resulting in a road accident.   Avis Fleet also recommends driver training and setting driver guidelines. Telematics, as a fleet accident management tool, is excellent for identifying and minimising future risk.   ### 2.
