As part of The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety District 8, St. John's has a new tool to educate roadway users on the dangers of bad driving behaviors.

The interactive DVD called "Drive Smart: Lessons and Confessions from the Road," is distributed free to teachers, drivers of all ages and parents of teen drivers.

Segments include a parody of some of the outrageous driving behavior seen in the Ozarks and a more serious MTV-style documentary with interviews from the local court-ordered Young Traffic Offenders program participants.

“While we have reached a lofty goal of less than 1000 traffic fatalities in Missouri, there is still work to be done,” said Pam Holt, St. John’s Trauma Injury Prevention coordinator and member of the coalition. Today, before you go to sleep, 119 Americans will lose their lives in a traffic crash.”

The DVD also contains interactive driver’s test preparation and game show. Funding came from the Missouri Department of Transportation state office in Jefferson City as part of a statewide campaign to decrease reduce fatal and disabling injuries.

The Missouri Coalition of Roadway Safety is a large group of safety advocates who banded together in 2004 to create Missouri’s Blueprint for Safer Roadways to attack the problem of traffic crashes and deaths.
