NYSP
History
Mr. Anthony Perlongo, founder of the
New York Safety Program, has been a nationally prominent leader in the
field of driver safety since 1954. His accomplishments as a State and
National President of the Driver Education Guild, Executive Director of
the Highway Safety Foundation, New York University Instructor in Driver
Education and Training, co-chairman to the Advisory Board of the New York
State Department of Motor Vehicles, and member of various civic
organizations have brought him recognition throughout the Country.
The New York Safety Program is proud and
honored to have as a member of its Board of Trustees, the nationally known
Dr. Leonard F. Dalton, Panel Member Education Appeal Board, United States
Dept. of Education, who is known to be the "Father of the Behavior
Modification Course". In 1974, Dr. Dalton, a Public School Administrator
in California and a National Consultant for the Charles F. Kettering
Foundation, developed specific performance objectives for each program,
and provided criterion referred pre-tests, post-tested, learning
activities, media methods, references, follow-up studies and training
instructors.
In the 1960's traffic violator school courses
were initiated by off-duty police. Since then, the courts have offered
traffic violators the choice of paying the fine in which points are
charged to their record (resulting in possible insurance rate increase and
possible loss of driving privilege) or attending a court approved driver
education course. Since driver attitude is THE major contribution to both
unsafe and irresponsible driving, Dr. Dalton instituted the
above-mentioned programs designed to change attitudes and thereby obtain a
change in behavior. As pioneers of this particular program, you can be
assured that we have formulated, what we believe to be, one of the best
and most comprehensive courses available in the State of New York.
Michael J. Raab is a certified instructor.

Road Rage is a
Problem; NYSP has the Solution
New York Safety Program sponsors the Driver
Improvement Course that has been approved by the New York State Dept. Of
Motor Vehicles for Point Reduction and the Dept. of Insurance for
Insurance Reduction in New York State. The NYSP course is a six hour
classroom course that uses behavior modification methodology to positively
influence attitude and therefore, behavior behind the wheel. Certified
instructors, using modern multimedia techniques, will teach you the roles
and responsibilities of the individual driver, traffic laws, emergency and
defensive driving methods. There are no tests to pass and there is no
driving involved. The NYSP course is available Statewide through a network
of approved training agencies.

Motor vehicle crashes cost U.S. employers
over $50 Billion annually.
Employer costs of crashes exceed $5 billion in New York State. In 1994,
motor vehicle crashes killed an estimated 2,000 people while they were
working and injured 323,000. Over half the injuries forced people to miss
work. Crashes cost more than you think. The average employer pays
$25,000 for each on-the-job motor vehicle crash and $110,000 per injury.

Lost workday injuries include
those resulting in an inability to perform either wage or household work.
Many employers do not even realize
that on and off the job, there are
countless direct and hidden expenses of crashes which can have a
devastating impact on their financial stability. In addition to health
care and property damage, consider other substantive costs, such as hiring
a temporary employee, lower productivity, insurance premiums and lawsuits.
The New York Safety Program can help control
these costs, and save lives. Your potential savings can be as high as
$50,000 per million vehicle miles of travel. Protecting employees from
motor vehicle crash injury can be a profitable investment of time and
resources.
