Dissemination of new study results is a well known problem. Study reports must be heard in the dedicated research community but also in the public, i.e. in schools, driving schools, among parents and caregivers.
As a consequence, it is necessary that researchers use instruments like the mass media for the dissemination of the desired contents. Television documentations of the daily work linked with interviews of experts are perfectly suitable to this aim. The following documentations are to be obtained through the broadcasting companies or the homepage of the Crash Research Group.
