'Reality' driver's ed increases teens' awareness of outcomes of risky driving

(Baylor University) Teens who took a supplemental drivers' ed program -- including tours of emergency rooms, ICUs and a morgue -- showed more awareness of the consequences of risky driving and of how they can avoid dangers, a Baylor University study found. But data from a two-month follow-up to the program was inconclusive as to whether the program made a difference in the youths' behavior behind the wheel.
