Pavilion High School hosted the Save A Life Tour on Wednesday, which provided 9th through 12th grade students with information on DWI and then provided them with hands-on simulations of what is like to drive while impaired or distracted.
There is a virtual reality driving simulator that imitates drunken driving by using a built-in delay on the steering and braking. Another requires you to drive while holding a mobile device that sends you a text message every 12 seconds that you must respond to.
Batavia PD provided its pedal cars that students could navigate through traffic cones while wearing vision-impairing goggles.
The tour was funded through a grant secured by the school's Health and Physical Education Department.
