Street Skills, a 1997 KET production, is a four-part driver’s education series designed to help teenagers become safer, more responsible drivers. The fast pace of the programs and a soundtrack filled with contemporary music acknowledge the fun and freedom of driving, but each program also emphasizes the responsibility that comes with a license. Interviews with experts and computer animation get beyond the basics to explore the mechanics, physics, psychology, and biology of driving. Footage from real accident scenes and interviews with police officers, accident victims, and other authorities show how careless driving can lead to serious trouble.
