general public, safety officials, educators and the media on the steady decay of
the nation's system for training and licensing new drivers and the resulting impact
on crash rates. We will also provide parents, safety officials and others links
and tools to help make our new drivers safer drivers, as well as a repository and
resource base for those who wish to work toward improving the performance -- as
measured by crash rates -- of the driving population by whatever means are at society's
disposal.
www.teendriver.nsc.org/alive.aspx
Alive at 25 is an innovative, young-driver intervention program that bridges the
gap between what teens learn in drivers’ education and what behaviors and skills
they need to become responsible, crash-free drivers. Through interactive media segments,
workbook exercises, class discussions and role playing, young drivers learn how
to take control of situations by understanding the consequence of their actions.
It offers a balanced approach to help teens not only regulate their driving behavior,
but also help them deal with the actual issues that can influence their driving
behavior.
