Driving Safety

Bad decisions cause accidents
In Mississippi Power language, defensive driving and Safety 360 - being safe in all areas of your life - figure into the message Johnny Poulos is sharing.

As director of public affairs for the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol, Poulos is taking his message into schools, but he will speak anywhere about the dangers inherent in driving. During his presentations, he uses a particularly compelling video that features the stories of actual victims of horrific traffic accidents and the reasons behind each crash. All of the victims are teen-agers or young adults.

The video was produced by Jon Carter of Mississippi Power's Creative Production Services.
