Click here to Preview
 Our
new driving distraction video "Are You Playing With A Full Deck?"
takes a look at the world of driving distractions, as well as our
ability to detect problems and deal with them when our attention is
split. Of course, dealing with distractions while driving is an everyday
occurrence; habitually utilizing the 5 Keys will help drivers control
many of the risks. The early awareness of potential problems and the
early provision of space to avoid those last second surprises comprise
the essence of the Smith System. Space, Visibility, and Time are our
solutions to the distracting problems faced daily as we drive. While
we may believe we have focused more than enough of our attention on
the task of driving, this video shows us we are regularly distracted
by any number of sources, and it suggests how to manage the resulting
dangers. What about the drivers who are distracted in vehicles around
us? How do we protect ourselves from the mistakes of so many drivers
who share the road with us daily? Explore the solutions in this thought-provoking
presentation as we view distracted drivers dealing with the problems
of everyday traffic. Learn how the danger of inattentive drivers combines
with moments of high risk in traffic to create "Danger Spikes."
As drivers travel through their day, they often face these "Danger
Spikes" and are forced to make last second decisions and react.
A driver's ability to recognize the conditions that lead to "Danger
Spikes" and control them may be the difference between a collision
and a close call. Learn how to identify these moments in your drive,
and take early action to manage your risks.

is a powerful collision prevention tool
(21 minute Video or DVD, Truck versions,
2006)
Click here to Preview
 Backing
collisions and fixed object, forward motion collisions are consistently
at, or near the top of the list of fleet reportable incidents - but
they don't need to be. Working with thousands of drivers every year
gives us rare insight into why collisions happen and how they can
be prevented. Sometimes these incidents occur because drivers fail
to build an accurate mental picture of their vehicle's relationship
with the objects that surround them. Sometimes they happen because
people don't take a routine, systematic approach to these slow speed
maneuvers. Compass Maneuvering couples an innovative, versatile, but
simple-to-master collision avoidance technique with an easy to use
mental checklist. Compass Maneuvering is a powerful collision prevention
tool. The 5 Keys and our unique use of a visual, mobile compass
will shift the educational balance toward collision prevention.

Drivers who know how to place their vehicles in traffic to

Understand how emotions affect
safe driving
(17-Minute Video or DVD, 1999)
 As traffic congestion continues to increase,
so too has the anger, aggravation and frustration experienced by motorists.
The “Driver’s E.D.G.E.” uses four driver interviews
to outline and identify the most frequent sources of these potentially
dangerous behind-the-wheel emotions. Then, with the help of Smith
System’s 5 Keys, we explore how these feelings
can lead to conflict or tragedy. In conclusion, we provide practical,
real world solutions that drivers can put into action each time they
take the wheel. This presentation will minimize the viewer’s
collision potential, while providing a foundation for a more relaxed
driving experience. Driving behavior and attitude can be positively
influenced when an understanding of the Big Picture is realized.

Following Distance-Resolving The
Debate Order
A convincing presentation on the
benefits of a safe following distance
 Following distance plays a
major role in most multi-vehicle traffic collisions. Despite the
evidence, huge numbers of drivers, either through lack of training or
personal choice, continue to maintain inadequate spacing. The main
reason for this behavior is drivers thinking that leaving too much
space invites other drivers to cut in, resulting in added risk and lost
time.
The focus of this show is to dispel
those thoughts. It convincingly demonstrates that the proper following
distance not only reduces unnecessary risk, but shows either an
insignificant or non-existent effect on time loss when using the Smith
System. The final risk-reward analysis becomes clear to the viewer. A
good amount of following distance pays off in more ways than one. The
presentation includes an optional viewer quiz.

Advanced 3-D technology
recreates the collisions for class analysis
(24-Minute Video, 1996)
 Years of experience have taught
us that student participation and driver “buy in” are vital
to any successful driver safety training program. Our “Out of
Harm’s Way” video has been designed specifically to achieve
both. After a brief outline of Smith System’s 5
Keys, three drivers are interviewed with regard to typical
traffic collisions. As the drivers describe their circumstances, each
collision is recreated using advanced 3-D animation. This engaging
technology allows each incident to be observed as if the viewer was
actually present at the original collision.
After each collision, the video is paused, and the audience is
encouraged to participate in an open discussion regarding what went
wrong and how the drivers could have used the 5 Keys to
avoid the collisions. These discussions bring a deeper understanding of
how powerful the 5 Keys techniques are and how they work
behind the wheel as they relate to each incident.
