Most companies that employ a fleet of commercial vehicles look for more than commercial driver s licenses (CDL) from their drivers. Fleet safety directors want to know that their drivers have the skills to operate safely on the roads, protect themselves from injury and accidents, and best represent the company for which they drive. Fleet Driver Safety provides drivers with these critical skills and helps them meet job requirements for safe driver training. The Fleet Driver Safety course covers: Defensive driving strategies and incidence avoidance; Basic traffic laws and procedures; Safe driving practices in different environments and the challenges of driving in severe weather and other extreme conditions; The use of protective equipment to minimize injuries and accidents.

This book is profusely illustrated with detailed diagrams and line art that demonstrate the proper procedures drivers need to master for their behind-the-wheel tests.

Do you want to keep your cool in the age of rage? Do you try to get where you're going in the shortest possible time? Do you cuss at or retaliate against "pushy" drivers? Do you ever feel like giving a tailgater a "brake job"? Do you regularly take risks and exceed speed limits?

La fenomenología lingüística de John Searle parte de la oposición entre los enunciados constatativos, que se limitan a constatar estados de hecho, y los enunciados performativos, que producen modificaciones de la realidad externa cuando se enuncian en el contexto preciso. Existen, así, actos lingüísticos que, además de consistir en la pronunciación de determinadas palabras de una forma y en un orden proposicionalmente correcto, pueden tener un valor pragmático adicional según sea su contexto institucional, con lo que no sólo producen hechos naturales (hechos brutos, en la terminología de Searle), sino también hechos institucionales. Por ejemplo, en determinadas circunstancias, decir "prometo hacer x" tiene unas consecuencias que trascienden lo puramente físico: vale o cuenta como prometer, como realización del acto institucional de la promesa, generador de la obligación de realizar lo prometido.
