     WHAT:     More teenagers die from automobile accidents than any other
               single cause.

               In Virginia alone, fatalities in the 16-to-20 age group
               increased a staggering 37 percent from 1999, according to that
               state's Department of Motor Vehicles.  Of that group, the total
               for 18-to-20 year olds rose 70 percent, to 107 traffic-related
               deaths in 2000, compared with 63 in the previous year.

               In response to those unnerving statistics, International
               Training Incorporated, a global leader in providing in-depth
               tailored training programs for leading domestic and
               international security professionals, has developed the
               Advanced Driver Education and Crash Avoidance Course.

               This comprehensive hands-on program, which includes classroom
               and driving exercises, goes beyond basic driver education for
               students with an existing driver's license.  This course
               includes:

                    --  Crash avoidance techniques
                    --  Emphasis on refined vehicle control techniques
                    --  Options to minimize crash impact
                    --  Seat belt usage and alcohol impact

     WHERE:    International Training Incorporated -- Route 643 Airport Road
               in West Point Virginia. (Please call for specific directions.)
