An article out in The Eagle Tribune this week highlighted the dangers of drunk driving by speaking with Timberlane Regional High School students from Plaistow, NH who took part in a driving simulator program at the school. The virtual program gave students the opportunity to see how they would drive if they were under the influence of alcohol or texting. The Timberlane students were the very first in New Hampshire to test out the Injury Prevention program’s brand-new federally funded simulators.
The simulators , which come complete with a steering wheel , pedals and a monitor, gave students the chance to see how just one wrong decision can put them and others in serious danger if they are impaired by drugs or alcohol or otherwise distracted. The program was tested in time for the very busy prom and graduation season and gives students the effects of distracted driving or drinking. Reaction time is significantly decreased and the steering locks up to simulate the effects of impaired driving. In the simulator program, a student can get pulled over by an officer, given a sobriety test and can also experience what jail is like as well as a court hearing.
Administrators at the school say that this will give students an accurate depiction of what would happen were they to drive drunk or distracted while out on the roads.
