In recent years, we have made steady progress in reducing Army motor vehicle (AMV) accidents. However, they are still a serious drain on Army combat readiness. The record shows that improving safety in AMV operations pays off not only in reduced fatalities, injuries, and accident costs but also in increased readiness. This pamphlet is targeted at the most frequent causes of AMV accidents. It provides accident causes and cures specific to those vehicles that account for a large number of AMV accidents. Any future improvements in the AMV accident record will be directly related to the prevention emphasis you place on AMV operations in your unit. This pamphlet will help. The Army Safety Center is interested in user reaction to this pamphlet. Your comments on its usefulness and suggestions for improving its content are welcome. Please use the pre- addressed mailer at the back of the pamphlet to let us hear from you.
