Drunk Busters Impairment Goggles give drivers ed. students understanding of impaired driving effects.

Curt’s experiences have taken him many places, but one important place was developing goggles to represent what it would be like if someone was impaired by alcohol or drugs. The problem exists when someone is impaired, their thoughts and judgement are also impaired. They can’t realize what they’re doing is wrong when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle if they are already impaired by alcohol or drugs. That’s where these goggles come into play. They send a strong message about the dangers of drinking and driving.

It’s time to listen to those who care

Sounds like a good way to impact driving behavior choices before they get made.

Do Driver Training programs, & states’ Rules of the Road books, cover the dangers of truck underride?

I was driving to Raleigh/Durham today and, shortly after I merged onto 64, a car passed me and then immediately proceeded to get back into the right lane–squeezing in front of a car and directly behind a tractor-trailer. Within less than 1/2 a mile, all three vehicles exited.

Why couldn’t the driver have waited patiently behind me and then exited?! An underride crash could so easily have occurred.

Do driver education programs teach about the dangers of truck underride? Maybe every written driver’s test should contain a question related to the avoidance of Death by Underride (when it is within one’s control).
