AAA Michigan Addresses Driver's Ed Issues at School Seminar
24 June 2000
DETROIT - Detroit Public Schools driver education teachers may learn a few lessons Saturday, June 24, when AAA Michigan traffic safety specialists Burr Smith and Paul Weber borrow their classroom. Smith and Weber will provide in-depth information on a host of traffic safety issues -- road rage, drinking and driving, problems of teen drivers and the success of Michigan's graduated licensing law -- as part of an in-service workshop conducted for driver education staff at the School Center Building, 5057 Woodward Ave., from 9-noon. "A comprehensive driver education program is critical to the prevention of fatal traffic crashes involving young drivers and their passengers," says Smith. "We hope to add a few tools to the arsenal in this fight to save lives."
