This Holiday Season, You Can Give a Gift To Help Teens Avoid Crashes!

You've seen the twisted wreckage on the local news. You've read the tragic headlines in the papers. But did you know that vehicle crashes are the leading cause of teen fatalities in the United States and Canada? In fact, most years they are responsible for more teen deaths than suicide and homicide combined. Parents, grandparents, and friends can do something about this problem – and give teenagers a great gift at the same time -- driver-ZED™ (“Zero Errors Driving”) is an innovative, engaging CD-ROM that helps teens become safer drivers. "Teenagers have a deadly combination of driving inexperience and an immature ability to assess and deal with risks," says Peter Kissinger, President and CEO of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. “So we developed driver-ZED to help young people improve their ability to identify and avoid potential risks in the driving environment,--while gaining invaluable experience.”

driver-ZED takes teens where driving manuals, books and videos can't – into an interactive experience that puts them in the virtual driver's seat. From this vantage point, teens navigate through more than 80 live-action highway, city and country scenarios. They learn how to handle a wide range of potential risks, from a child chasing a ball into the street to aggressive drivers who tailgate, to wet roads, and dangerous pavement edge drop-offs.

Windows-ready and a breeze to install on most PCs, driver-ZED is also very affordable. While some other computer-based driving programs cost up to three times as much, driver-ZED can be purchased from AAAFTS for only $12.95. In addition, school boards, community organizations and other groups interested in purchasing large quantities will be eligible for discounts.
