Drunk Driving Without Driving Drunk
Using Driving Simulation Technology to Safely Demonstrate Impairment
Want to know what it’s like to drink and drive, but without the danger of being on the open road? We’ve got a module for that and you can learn about our full driving research application HERE. STISIM Drive has a long history of being used for alcohol research. In fact, our earliest origins are rooted in impaired driver studies. Our driving simulation technology offer a safe way to demonstrate the dangers of drunk driving. Our simulators have not only been part of research projects, they’ve also been featured in drinking segments on several talk shows, including The Leeza Show, The Gabrielle Show, Dr. Phil, and 30 Days with Morgan Spurlock, to name a few.
With our technology there are two ways people can experience drunk driving virtually. The first is by consuming alcohol in a controlled environment and then driving the simulator. The second option would be to use our DUI Module, which mimics the time delays and tunnel vision that occur at various Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels. Of course, it makes for better TV (and sounds more fun) for an of-age adult to get their drank on, then use the simulator. But when you don’t have a controlled environment, or are dealing with underage drivers, the DUI Module is a close second. The module may not lower the driver’s inhibitions or increase risk-taking behavior, but it does a good job of demonstrating time delays and reduced visibility.
Bottom Line, Don’t Drink and Drive
As we’ve said many times before, don’t drink and drive, even if you think you’re not that drunk. Why risk hurting yourself or someone else? Please always remember to drink responsibly – and call a ride-sharing company, a friend or family member to get you home!
