WORLD OF MOPEDS

"The World of Mopeds," an audiovisual presentation (15-min. cassette tape and 35 mm filmstrip), addresses such concepts as road sharing, perceptual skills and techniques, risk assessment, and collision countermeasures. An additional component is an informational brochure entitled "What's Your Moped Intelligence Quotient?" which contains ten questions/answers on safe moped operation. It serves as a reinforcement element when used with the audiovisual materials and as a simple pre- and post-test. Response to the instructional aids throughout Iowa (by schools, community organizations, police departments) has been positive and favorable. Pre- and post-testing have indicated higher knowledge levels. Awareness of mopeds, as well as the responsibility for safe operation, has been evidenced.
