Teens see video

A VIDEO drama about teenagers,
cars, parties and friends is being
used in B.C. secondary schools this
year in an effort to reduce the
number and severity of traffic ac-
cidents in the province.

Wheels is a one-hour show co-
produced in 1987 by the Insurance
Corporation of B.C. and CBC
Television. It is aimed at teenage
audiences, statistically a high risk
group of road users, and focuses
on the issues of impaired driving,
peer pressure and the trauma that
can result when the wrong choices
are made.
