RoadWise program for young drivers

RoadWise is a FREE program for young drivers 14-19, emphasizing the importance of wearing a seat belt and making good decisions behind the wheel. Participants follow the path they would take at a trauma center after being seriously injured in a car crash by visiting the Emergency Room, Radiology, Intensive Care and Physical Therapy. Time is spent with young people who have sustained a permanent brain or spinal cord injury as a result of a motor-vehicle crash. The Missouri State Highway Patrol also visits to talk about working crash sites and the daunting task of making death notifications to families.
