Take Your Traffic School on a Road Trip!

Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) is excited to officially kick off its Out-of-State Referral Program. The concept is simple: the program allows you to collect a referral fee for every graduated student who links from your website to a TSC operation in another state. This is an outstanding growth opportunity, as it can generate instant income with no additional effort on your part.

How It Works. The process is straightforward. Just add a link to your website for visitors who have received a citation in states served by TSC (see below for details). As your provider, we’ll even perform the update to your website for you. For any referred student who graduates from one of our out-of-state traffic safety education courses, we’ll reward you for your referral with a “finder’s fee.”

How to Take Advantage. Most of you have already been personally contacted about this great new program by Gloria Verver, our Director of Affiliate Programs. If you haven’t heard from Gloria yet, you will soon! Participation in the program requires you to sign an addendum to your Affiliate Licensing Agreement. You’ll also need to add a referral link to your website (again, we’ll be happy to help you with the update procedure). It’s that easy! And, if you can’t wait for Gloria’s call to get started, you can contact her at 800-252-9488 or via e-mail at gloria@trafficeducation.net.

What It Does for You. TSC currently operates traffic safety education programs in California and Virginia. We’re preparing to enter New York and New Jersey very soon, and we’ll expand to other states as conditions allow. By participating in our Out-of-State Referral Program, you’ll have access to TSC’s nationwide network of Internet traffic schools. Best of all, this program means that you can serve more students--and reap the financial rewards of increased business. In essence, you can expand your traffic school enterprise...with no extra work on your part!

So, what are you waiting for? Take your traffic school on a coast-to-coast road trip today!

Save Gas, Save Lives!

Since Congress repealed the national speed limit law in 1995, 32 states have raised speed limits to 70 mph or higher on some portion of their highway systems, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). With gas prices spiraling out of control, however, a return to slower speeds could be just what the average motorist needs to save a few dollars at the pump.

Modern vehicles are designed to be most fuel efficient at speeds between 30 and 60 mph. Efficiency can drop sharply at speeds above 65 mph, as engines fight to overcome the effects of roadway friction and wind resistance, which rises exponentially. Based on current traffic volumes, slowing to 60 mph from 70 mph would likely cut gasoline consumption by 2 to 3 percent. More importantly, that reduction in demand would translate to a considerably larger price reduction—perhaps as much as 10 percent.

Meanwhile, slowing down can also save lives. Stopping time/distance and the force of impact vary exponentially with speed (e.g., stopping time/distance nearly quadruples when speeds are doubled). A little extra stopping time/distance could mean the difference between a near miss and a collision. And, should you have the misfortune to strike something with your vehicle, the damage incurred will be appreciably less at lower speeds.

Encourage your students to slow down, save gas, and be safe!
