In this video, NASCAR sensation David Reutimann focuses on defensive driving, the cornerstone of safe vehicle operation.

#33571 Driver's Education - Dying to Get There: The Real Cost of Reckless Driving (Run time 21 min.) DVD $79.95

New drivers seem to learn very quickly about tickets, suspended licenses, and even a day in court, yet few appear to dwell much on safety. The fact is, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among teens. This program opens a potentially lifesaving teen-to-teen dialogue on driving-related tragedies involving drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Strong images of totaled cars, powerful mortality statistics, and firsthand stories of real car wrecks with severe consequences carry the unmistakable message that driving is no joyride. The stakes are just too high for that. (21 minutes)


#36001 Driver's Education - CopTalk: The Dos and Don'ts of a Car Stop (Run time 23 min.) DVD $79.95

A routine traffic stop can have any number of outcomes-from a polite warning to the use of lethal force. This video shows drivers the safest, smartest ways to interact with a police officer during a car stop. Written, produced, and hosted by a veteran patrolman, the program explains exactly how to park, behave, and speak when pulled over by a cop. Finding a nearby, well-lit area, staying inside the vehicle, refraining from sudden or alarming movements, keeping a respectful tone, and being aware of an officer's perspective and working conditions-these and other topics are covered along with tips on court procedures, night driving info, and helpful Q&A segments featuring teen drivers. (23 minutes)


#8357 Driver's Education - Drugs and Driving: A Deadly Combination (Run time 12 min.) DVD $99.95

This program examines the largely unreported impact of taking over-the-counter drugs while driving, a practice listed as a primary cause of traffic accidents. Medications including antihistamines, tranquilizers, and sleeping pills-blamed for over 10 percent of all traffic fatalities-are studied for their ability to lower concentration and reduce motor control. The medical profession's responsibility for warning patients of the dangers of taking drugs while driving is discussed. The National Highway Safety Administration is chided for refusing to recognize the problem. The program suggests that while every accident has many causes, the label caution, "Warning: Medication may cause drowsiness," should be taken more seriously by American consumers. (12 minutes)

You're driving along and suddenly hit a patch of glare ice and start to skid. What do you do? You drive into a severe thunderstorm and water is left standing on the road. Do you adjust your driving in any way? You suddenly encounter thick fog on the highway and can't see beyond your headlights. Should you switch on your high beams? These and many other situations are discussed and demonstrated as we watch a new driver experience some unpleasant surprises. An excellent way of experiencing common weather-related driving problems from the point of view of the driver! (17 min.) A Meridian Production.

#29763 Driver's Education - Practicing Basic Control Tasks Behind the Wheel (Run time 17 min.) DVD $99.95

Filmed on actual roadways, this engaging video systematically demonstrates low-risk methods of parking, entering traffic, steering, backing up, and turning around. The program's host, a calm and likeable driving instructor, reinforces the techniques while encouraging students to continually practice them. He also addresses a variety of dangerous road conditions and suggests using the Three Seconds Rule to maintain the proper following distance. In addition, he offers tips like coasting before braking and avoiding jackrabbit starts as ways of squeezing the most miles from a tankful of gas...and of avoiding the kinds of collisions that most commonly happen with an inexperienced driver behind the wheel.
