Preventing crashes by educating students is the goal of Simulated Reality.
Every day in the United States 18 teenagers lose their lives from distracted driving, while almost 30 people die every day in crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers. In 2010, more than 3,000 people died in distracted driving crashes and more than 10,000 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes.
Simulated Reality, of the Sioux Empire Safety Village, is a program that takes virtual reality driving simulators to schools and public events. Driving the simulators allows students to experience the consequences of distracted and impaired driving without the reality of harming themselves and others.
If you’d like more information or want to book one of the simulators, contact the Sioux Empire Safety Village on our contact page call (605) 334-7238. For more information on distracted and impaired driving go to Safety Information then to Traffic on our web page.
The Sioux Empire Safety Village is able to operate Simulated Reality thanks to the generosity of Vern Eide Motor Cars, Volunteers of America, the SD Office of Highway Safety, the SD Department of Health, and State Farm. Call us at 605-334-7233.
