Ashley Gagnon with Safe Decision and Paul Gulli with Berkshire Hathaway Automotive Group
Safe Decision was established to raise awareness in seatbelt use and defensive driving for teens and professional drivers. Our target audience is teens and companies with a fleet whether it’s heavy equipment drivers or passenger sized vehicles. 
We work with each company and format courses for all around safety on the job. When ending each presentation, we provide our seatbelt convincer which is a machine that simulates an approximate 7-8 mph collision.
It is a great educational tool for getting people of all ages to buckle up. We even use a go-pro camera for first-hand accounts of reactions if wanted by the entity we are servicing.
