Accident data recorders (ADRs) in the area of commercial and public fleets have proved to have a considerable accident prevention effect and as a result have significantly reduced consequential costs. Apart from offering effective relief to professional drivers from the risk of erroneous liability the ADR has served well as a management tool to reduce collisions, damages and repair costs in an unexpected way. Due to the large number of recording parameters and the technical reliability of the ADR, drivers become aware of having little chance of excuses or blaming others and tend to drive more carefully. Thus improved driver behaviour (drivers knowing that actions would be accurately recorded) and accountability (the recording of status inputs such as horns, lights, brakes etc.) has resulted in the reduction of collisions.
