This photo is of the author, ROZ BUSCH; taken in March 2008; who, in December, 2008 became a visibly “70 years young”. This is shown here and is being used to make the case for how the amazing “Less Stress” driving techniques appear to bring about BETTER HEALTH and maybe even offer an ANTI AGING element.

Roz Busch invites you to partake of her unique approach to enhance your well being and reduce your own stress and even delay aging, via the LESS STRESS ’be cool traffic school’ driving methods of: DRIVING, SURVIVING, & ARRIVING.
Having practiced what she preaches, with no tickets for 30 years, this extensive article is written to show how many of her real life situations led to the innovative concepts that make this one of a kind, super traffic safety course:
A MUST FOR ALL DRIVERS; that face the FRENETIC PACE of our times. This author seeks to offer ways to reduce the stressful aging chemicals in the body and the mind, through accurate driving,
REDUCING THE HIGH LEVELS OF HIGH STRESS IN OUR TIME, ON THE ROAD & OFF THE ROAD TOO!
Ever been to traffic school where you have been bombarded and terrorized with "Blood and Guts" movies and attacking lectures? Filling you with fears? Not educational ideas for safe driving! In 1980, after attending such a class, Roz Busch complained to DMV, and was advised to open a traffic school!
The rest is history! Roz Busch decided she could make a difference in how the driving public could be better served, by using educational themes, rather than punitive means to address violations.
In Studio City, Roz has held classes for more than 25 years on a steady basis, except when she was a pedestrian hit n run victim, a fractured pelvis kept her away from her classes for 4 months as noted in the LA TIMES article written by a student in the employ of the newspaper, who felt the irony worthy of reporting about her injury. Being a victim as a pedestrian of a HIT’n’RUN collision is a sad and sorry event! It can be avoided by using some new ideas about how to go from the trunk to enter the car safely.
Cars without lights in the night are invisible! Beware!
Walking from the trunk to the car is only safe; if you get back up on the curb, walk to the front of your car and, facing traffic wait to enter the driver side door…….safely!
She gained her driving knowledge at Cal State LA, University where she made the Deans list, studying Art and Criminal Justice. There she met her mentor, Dr. William Cole, PhD. Driver Safety Education, a major force for safety in California, with whom she confers on a regular basis. She states that he was the core of her inspiration and motivation that led to her efforts to be able to present to you a good, solid source of driver safety education!
Roz also took courses in Anthropology, Business-Government & Society, and Political Science; Legislative Analysis to prepare her curriculum. During the entire time spent at CA State LA, Mike Busch, curriculum editor and Partner in this online effort continued his efforts to support this effort. Roz has a certification from the Rio Hondo College, Department of Public Service Administration, Justice Center for successful completion of a course study in Advanced Traffic Accident investigation. Roz is an avid researcher, focusing her efforts for over 25 years on the pertinent issues related to the road. Roz served on the DMV-SHSIP committee from 2008 -2009, and was sincerely honored to have had this wonderful opportunity to offer some input into the language of the new Parent - Teen contracts. DMV completed the SHSIP mission.
Her approach is based on the premise that most people who get traffic violations are basically
good people but are simply undergoing a lot of DRIVING STRESS!
In addition to producing works of art, Roz has dedicated over 25 years to producing drivers …WHO CHOOSE to be safe and happy and TICKET FREE!
A very sad and personal experience in the distant past; is the underlying factor in her desire to help other drivers stay out of harms way! When she was 12 years old, a driver killed her 3 year old sister at a beach resort. This was the #1 factor that most impacted this curriculum and her dedication to safety.
Now she works hard to save someone else’s little sister, or brother, or mother or father or friend.
From the student letters she receives it does seem that she has made strides in reaching that goal!
Roz has been Syndicated in over 50 newspapers, including theLA TIMES; and WASHINGTON POST; CHICAGO, IL. TRIBUNE; LONG BEACH, CA. PRESS STAMFORD, CT. ADVOCATE; AN ARBOR, MI. NEWS; SARASOTA, FL. HERALD TRIBUNE; FLINT, MI. JOURNAL; READING, PA. TIMES; SAN FRANCISCO, CA. CHRONICLE, TELEGRAM,and more, featuring her unique ideas on Less Stress and “being cool” while driving.
On TV, in 1988, during an interview, Roz spoke with CHARLIE ROSE,
discussing in depth, the risks of Americans driving while engaging in ROAD RAGE. They discussed many things, including cell phone use. Now, 20 years later, it is illegal under the law to do so.
Roz appeared onNBC-SAVE OUR STREETSduring 2000 in a documentary on ROAD RAGE, where she is described as a person who is helping drivers deal with rage, while Auto Club of So. CA. revealed studies of deadly results, and other experts made the case for reducing anger and rage!
On Channel 5 Morning News with Sharon Tay, in 1999, an on camera visit, features Roz in her classroom, presenting a unique perspective on Distracted Driving! Roz says,
“Give everyone a break, and mainly give yourself a break, TOO!”
On Channel 5 Nightly News with Hal Fishman, in 1988 reviewing a class on location in Santa Monica Holiday Inn, which featured Roz and a comedic instructor engaged in providing students with some safer driving ideas.
Instructing in her Less Stress Traffic School classroom, Roz presents (8hrs) or (12hrs) of Information, while packaging human interest, rational thinking and humor. Creating New Ideas and unique analogies that drive the point home. Not a boring repeat of the known Data, she brings new ideas and information that keep her audience in the moment ... wide awake and on the ball. She teaches “how we drive is how we live” to quote Dr. David Shinar, in his CSULA textbook, “Psychology on the Road”. Enhancing the driving publics’ view of their own self worth creates a safer and happy driver, by choice not chance.
Making a good case for drivers to see what they really mean to their own people,
in their own personal world, who need them and love them! Getting home safe daily is the goal.
Each driver has needs and wants to deal with every driving moment.
Roz defines the conflict of choice.
Stop! Versus Roll!
Need! Versus Want!
We all need spinach, but we all want ice cream!
It seems that as a society we do consume more Ice cream than Spinach! That is seen as pretty normal.
Getting a ticket is no fun, but it is also pretty normal. A California Roll is not sold in a bakery!
Rolling a STOP SIGN is a frequent behavior that is pretty normal on the part of many who engage
in sharing the California driving experience!
The TV crash news is also part of what is normal.
Daily we look at carnage on the roads and still we persist in driving ourselves into oblivion.
Drivers can be oblivious of the obvious need for safety, believing that we can do it wrong and still make it come out right. Right?
The statistics state a recent increase to over 49,000 of Americans who die every year while driving Normal. We all need to look at what is wrong with driving normal!
Try accurate driving, it does work!
This is about SAFE & HAPPY, not about SAD & SORRY!
One of many testimonials referred to Roz as:
A CREATIVE FORCE FOR THE GOOD OF LIFE both … on the road and off!
The new technology seeks to offer us dreams of roads that talk to cars to stop driver error; $1.7 billion dollars is currently designated for research to do just that. In an article recently published, titled, NEW STREET SMARTS.
We cannot only depend on technology, we must learn to believe that people can make good choices & drive safely!
After meeting thousands of traffic violators face to face it is clear that the drivers are smart, capable, interesting and even fascinating people who deserve the right to survive the drive.
A DMV license equals a well rated RESPONSE ABILITY that should make the difference!
The driving public is made up of very special people and safety is a very special gift you give to yourself.
No one can make you drive safely!
This is America, the land of free choice, safety is a good choice, and all these normal driving errors are risky business!
