| Program Reviews |
"The latest entry in the consumer-education “Better Business Bureau Video Series,” Crash Course: What to Know Before and After a Collision combines interviews with traffic safety specialists, EMT’s, attorneys, insurance agents, and highway patrol personnel to help provide viewers with a comprehensive look at the practical and legal aspect of dealing with a vehicle collision. Topics covered include recognizing and (hopefully) avoiding the most common causes of accidents, necessary information to collect after a collision, understanding automobile insurance policies, and the necessity of keeping a journal related to post-collision injury. DVD extras include two AAA-produced bonus segments and a map guide to state-specific insurance and driver laws. Recommended. "
Video Librarian
"Chances are great that most drivers will be involved in an automobile accident. Divided into three sections (Before the Collision, At the Scene, and After the Collision), this comprehensive program offers practical advice and information. Drivers are urged to understand their insurance policies, keep first aid supplies and medical information in their cars, and follow safe driving tips. Drivers are counseled to exchange information and to call the police at the accident scene and follow up with both insurance companies as soon as possible. Frequent onscreen captions and comments from state troopers, lawyers, paramedics, and other experts add variety and authority to the presentation, which is packed with sound advice and clear strategies. An excellent choice for public library and high school consumer and driver education collections."
Booklist
"With an auto collision occurring every five seconds, 83 percent of Americans have been involved in one as either a driver or a passenger. The Better Business Bureau teams up with the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety to prepare drivers for the almost inevitable. Safe driving tips are interspersed with ways to stay in control in the case of a collision. From being familiar with the extent of your insurance coverage to having the right items in your car to knowing what to do and what not to do in a collision, Crash Course coaches drivers for the best possible outcome. Teens as well as seniors are given equal coverage, making this an excellent “what if” video for drivers of all ages. A corresponding web site provides questionnaires and sample forms for use before and after a road mishap."
