Samsara report finds 10% of risk-ranked drivers account for 47% of crashes

The top 10% of drivers ranked as highest risk by Samsara’s Risk Model accounted for 47% of crashes in a new report released by the company. The finding is part of Samsara’s new Compounding Risk Report, which examines how combinations of driving behaviors and other factors can contribute to elevated crash risk. The company says the research can help fleet managers identify where to focus limited coaching resources. “The real key takeaways are that 10% of drivers account for nearly half of all crashes, 30% account for more than three-fourths of crashes. So who you coach, who you zoom in on, really, really matters,” said Arpan Podduturi, Samsara VP of AI safety.
