    Childrenintraffic_TN1

    Updated and revised version of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's classic video, Children in Traffic - Why they are different.   The film clearly shows how children see the road differently from adults, how children’s development affects their perceptions of traffic, and what behaviors should adults watch for when driving near children.  This video presents real-life footage showing how children’s perceptions of traffic differ from those of adults. It provides insight on why children behave unexpectedly and is a must-see for all drivers and parents.
