"Driver Awareness campaign Projects"
Throughout the quarter, students are taught how the ## of vehicle collisions and driver fatalities are on a seemingly endless rise. In the process they learn just how important it is for them to be both mentally and physically prepared before they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. This activity allows students to research a topic related to the potential challenges they will face in terms of their physical readiness and mental decision-making as a first-time driver: (drowsy/fatigued driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, peer pressure, and drunk/drug impaired driving).
The ultimate goal of this project is for students to recognize and acknowledge the seriousness each of these topics can play in whether or not they become safe, responsible, and mature roadway users.

impairment driving simulators
If the seriousness of choosing to drive impaired hadn’t sunk in before this activity, I’m sure afterwards they would tell you that this assignment drove home a “sobering message.” Thanks to the help from the DHS Parent’s Club, this one-of-a-kind opportunity allowed students to experience what it is like to drive “under the influence,” without ever consuming a single drop of alcohol, taking a hit off a joint, or breaking a law on the open road. While wearing specifically designed goggles, which limited their abilities to drive and perform simple tasks, students completed different stations that helped simulate the act of driving drunk, high, or fatigued.
A BIG thank you to the DHS Parent’s Club for purchasing the Driver’s ED. Program
