Police Use Video Game, Beer Goggles to Warn Teens Of DUI Risk
From thepeterboroughexaminer.com (via gamepolitics.com):
Normally, dodging slow-moving cars and running red lights while impaired is no laughing matter, but students and officers had a chuckle at how silly drunk driving is during a test of an impaired driving simulator yesterday.
Peterborough County OPP brought the vehicle, which is the shell of a car outfitted with a video game console, to Adam Scott Collegiate yesterday to show automotive technology students what they will be constructing.
The students will spend the next several months gutting a car to remove the engine and hooking up video game controls and a television screen to give the user the sensation they are driving in the immobile vehicle.
But the key to the experience is a pair of goggles that simulate the effect of having twice the legal blood-alcohol limit.
