'Summit Special' Video Offer from Smith System

ARLINGTON, Texas, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of the Second National Distracted  Driving Summit recently held in Washington DC, Smith System, the leader in professional driver training, today announced a substantial savings on its distracted driving video entitled Are You Playing with a Full Deck?

The video shows how distractions such as cell phones and texting affect our ability to concentrate on the changes in traffic patterns. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) now lists distractions as the number one cause of traffic accidents.

Normally priced at $140 in Smith System's SmithMedia library of training aids, the Summit Special DVD price is only $14.95 per copy. This offer is good on all orders from September 23, 2010 through October 31, 2010.

"We are pleased to offer this very special pricing for our Distracted Driving DVD to help reinforce the messages of the Distracted Driving Summit," said Frank Powers, Sr. VP Sales and Marketing. "The scientific conclusions and statistics presented at this year's summit continue to verify what we have been teaching all along and what Harold Smith originally said more than 50 years ago...driving is eyes-mind and not hands-feet. Once again, the meeting consensus was that vision factors (seeing) and cognitive factors (thinking) are the solution to the distracted driving problem...or what we might call 'not playing with a full deck.'"

People interested in the video can view a preview or order their copy at www.smith-system.com.  People can also call Smith System at 800-777-7648 or email the company at [email protected] for more information.
