ADVISORY/AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety to Release Study on Deadly High-Risk Drivers; AAA To Launch Nationwide Effort to Combat Dangerous Road Users.


Business & News Editors/Automotive Writers

ADVISORY...for Thursday Thursday: see week.  (Feb. 20)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)


WHAT:       The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety will release the
            results of two new studies on unlicensed and drunk
            drivers. Although these high-risk drivers are among the
            greatest safety threat on the nation's highways, they
            often go unidentified and unpunished. With over
            17,000 people killed in alcohol related crashes and
            unlicensed drivers being responsible for over a fifth of
            all fatalities, AAA will offer solutions to address the
            problem of these deadly road users.

WHO:        Peter Kissinger, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety
               President and CEO
            Susan Pikrallidas, AAA Vice President for Public Affairs
            James H. Hedlund, Ph.D., Preusser Research Group, Inc.
            Captain Jesse Bowman, Fairfax County Police Traffic Safety
               Division
