The project encourages teens and adults to learn about distracted driving and how to stay safe behind the wheel. The Driver Safety Simulators provide individuals with a first-person, virtual reality experience and are available for use at Garden City Library, Hinesville Library, Rincon Library, and Tybee Library from now through August. The training is free and open to the public ages 14 and older.
The driving simulators are state-of-the-art technology that allow participants to virtually experience the dangers and consequences of distracted and impaired driving through video and interactions with law enforcement officers, emergency responders, and others. The devices are designed to modify driving behavior by illustrating the consequences of choices made behind the wheel.
This program is sponsored by Savannah Technical College grant funding from the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. The project focuses on raising awareness about the behaviors of distracted driving, especially cell phone use and alcohol consumption, and their negative impact on driver safety. |
