driver-ZED

Would you rather have your teenager learn how to handle dangerous traffic situations in a car or on a computer?

Experience the thrill of driving on your PC.
Full-screen, full-motion, real-life interactive video puts you in the driver’s seat. You’ll use your eyes and brain to spot trouble before it happens. Spot all the risks and handle them right, and you’ll score a perfect "Zero". But watch out — it’s harder than you think.

Realistic display shows you three views of the action — even the rear-view and side mirrors. The driver-ZED® DVD-ROM puts you into 100 live-action situations — the equivalent of several years of actual driving. You’ll face everything from a child chasing a ball into the street to dangerous two-lane passing. You’ll learn how to see danger by actually experiencing it on your computer instead of behind the wheel.

ZED 3.0 also includes student, parent, and teacher guides, over 25 new driving tips, as well as a Perceptual Driving Module specifically designed for classroom instructors and developed by American Driver & Traffic Safety Education Association.

Only $20 (includes tax, shipping and handling.)
With each purchase, a $5 donation goes to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable research and educational organization, so they can expand the foundation's traffic safety research and education programs.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is a publicly supported, non-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable research and educational organization. driver-ZED has been entirely produced thanks to charitable contributions from the American Automobile Association and Canadian Automobile Association and their affiliated motor clubs, from thousands of individual AAA members; and from AAA-affiliated insurance companies. The AAA Foundation developed this program in response to a serious need for better training of teen drivers -- sixteen-year-olds have 20 times the number of crashes per mile as the average driver. AAA Foundation research identified inappropriate risk management as one of the key contributors to this tragically high crash rate.
