On Thursday, April 21st, Elkins Prograd will be teaming up with Texas A&M Transportation Institute/Teen in the Drivers Seat Program to help simulate the effects that drinking and texting has on drivers. This educational demonstration is open to all students and will take place in conjunction with the Powderpuff Game.
Participants experience how alcohol impairs a person’s balance, vision, reaction time, and judgment. Simple activities with the Fatal Vision® Goggles, such as walking a line “heel-to-toe”, standing on one leg, reaching out to grab a set of car keys, or tossing a ball, become effective teaching moments as the participant experiences how susceptible they are to potentially dangerous consequences. |
