I'm not so sure we need an RCT. I believe this could be adequately tested using computer modeling and real-time simulated crashes. The company to do it would be Failure Analysis in Menlo Park, CA. This is just their cup of tea. The RCT could be helpful when comparing crosswalks, jaywalking, and zebra crossings, however.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
