Rage Behind the Wheel: A Look at Teen Drivers and Road Rage

Description

What exactly is road rage? What can trigger it? And, most important of all, how can it be avoided? Experts in law enforcement and youth psychology answer those and other questions as the camera captures actual road rage incidents involving teen drivers. These same teens are also filmed in a group setting where they honestly express their points of view as frustrated drivers while openly taking responsibility for their inappropriate anger. Potential life-changing consequences of road rage ranging from a revoked license to a criminal conviction for aggravated assault or death by auto are hammered home. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. Correlates to all applicable National and State Educational Standards including the NCLB Act. Recommended for grades 10-12.
