Development of knowledge, skill, and a responsible attitude was the aim of Driver Education. Students were familiarized with trailic laws and driving procedures in classroom situations. They were then able to put this knowledge to use with practice sessions in the Driver Education cars. Kennedy also used simulator installations which enabled students to gain experience without actual driv- ing. In these simulators, students reacted with car con- trols to filmed tratlic situations. The simulators recorded the students' reactions and could then be played back to see where the students were making driving errors. KEEPING eyes on the road and the instruments makes a safe driver.
