      <link>http://www.wsttc.org/Lists/Lending Library/DispForm.aspx?ID=112</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div><b>Description:</b> <div>This training video touches on a range of topics, from steering wheel use, seating position and road awareness to no-zones, driving on wet surfaces, highway safety and handling emergencies.&nbsp; It also brushes up drivers' know-how on threshold braking, hydroplaning, median crossing, city-versus-rural driving, and intersection safety.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Street Smarts explores what for some may be &quot;tiresome&quot; rules and safety tips, but the program is specifically geared to drivers who may dismiss driving basics with an &quot;I already know that, so why bother&quot; attitude.&nbsp; Street Smarts shakes them out of their dangerously misleading complacency and gets them to see driving from the point of view of a novice thus heightening safety awareness.</div></div>
