Driving Simulator Activity

The DWI Simulator is available for schools to borrow. Its primary focus is on impaired driving and can simulate what driving with a .17 BAC would look like. In addition to a focus on impaired driving, the simulator could also focus on the dangers of distractions (by having the driver text while driving or answer questions), nighttime driving, speeding, and focus on looking out for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Sleep Shocker!

The TDS team will conduct a poll on how many hours their peers slept the night before. The results of the poll will be displayed in the hallway to show how many “drowsy drivers” are walking the halls.

Pedestrian Obstacle Course

STOP! Stack the Blocks Activity

This hands-on activity raises awareness about the dangers of speeding and helps show that the faster the speed, the more stopping distance is required. You and your peers will conceptualize the distance by stacking blocks to guess how many building stories it takes for a car traveling X miles per hour to stop to better visualize the longer stopping distances that are needed when traveling at high speeds.
