Driver-ZED is a computer-based DVD software program that helps new teen drivers recognize and avoid driving hazards. "ZED" stands for Zero Errors Driving, where zero errors results in a perfect score of...well...0!

Driver-ZED puts teens into 100 live-action situations – the equivalent of several years of actual driving. They'll face everything from a child chasing a ball into the street to dangerous two-lane passing. They'll learn how to see danger by actually experiencing it on their computer instead of behind the wheel.

Driver-ZED offers four kinds of challenges across multiple venues of highway driving, in-town driving, driving in the country and driving through work zones:

Scan. Presents a short video clip and asks a teen what they've seen. The more points they score means the more questions they've answered correctly.

Spot. Shows a longer clip, then stops the action and asks teens to click on the driving risks. They'll earn points for spotting real risks.

Act. Scenarios challenge teens to spot the risks and choose the right action. They'll "drive" through the scene until it stops and asks them what to do.

Drive. This portion of the program takes teens to the most realistic level of driving simulation from the comfort and safety of their home via their computer. They'll be placed in realistic traffic scenarios and be asked what they should do.

Driver-ZED costs $19.95 and can be purchased from any AAA branch office or by visiting http://aaaazstore.com/pr/.
