Driver's Ed - In the long-standing tradition of classroom-based Driver's Education, students are shown disturbingly graphic films like Red Asphalt to encourage them to be safer drivers. Now, that theory is being questioned, as more films start to include the emotional component of loss rather than just the gory images of smashed brains on the highway. We watched hours and hours of these movies in my freshman class, but I can't really say that it had much of an impact upon my driving ability. However, I do have very fond memories of the other general safety videos we watched, involving poor acting and terrible stunt doubles.
