Coastal Training Technologies expands its award-winning driver training series with Street Smarts, a program that reminds drivers to follow simple yet life-saving rules on the road.

This training DVD touches on a range of topics, from steering wheel use, seating position and road awareness to no-zones, driving on wet surfaces, highway safety and handling emergencies. It also brushes up drivers' know-how on threshold braking, hydroplaning, median crossing, city-versus-rural driving, and intersection safety.

Street Smarts follows a teenager, Becca, as she prepares for her driver's license test. As Becca's parents quiz her on various topics, driving situations are illustrated via real-world scenarios for the viewers to learn from.

Street Smarts explores what for some may be "tiresome" rules and safety tips, but the program is specifically geared to drivers who may dismiss driving basics with an "I already know that, so why bother" attitude. Street Smarts shakes them out of their dangerously misleading complacency and gets them to see driving from the point of view of a novice thus heightening safety awareness.

Street Smarts joins Coastal's other driving safety series programs Driven To Distraction, Before You Turn The Key and Emotional Wreck to provide comprehensive driving training.

The Street Smarts DVD can be previewed FREE for 7 days with no obligation. To order, call 888-203-9811 and speak to an account representative, or visit coastal.com to watch a full-length online preview.
