Drunk Driving Lesson

A | A | A

Hayden High School students got a priceless lesson on drunk driving Wednesday.

It's all part of the impaired driving workshop. Students got an opportunity to drive golf carts wearing impaired goggles to simulate drunk driving with prop dolls standing by.

It's not only a practical exercise that gets students out of the classroom but it allows them to see first hand how their motor skills would be affected by alcohol.

The students also met with a speaker that spoke on the dangers of drunk driving and the consequences.
