The Save A Life Tour was brought to the Nielsen Center in West Point by Cuming County Juvenile Diversion. Bancroft-Rosalie juniors and seniors had the opportunity to experience from a sober perspective the effects of
alcohol on motor skills and reaction time. A multi-million dollar DUI simulator helped students get a realistic look
at the impaired judgment and delayed reaction time that alcohol causes. The simulator reacts to each student's size and weight differently and maneuvers like a
drunk driver over 80 miles of roadways, including changing weather
conditions.
The assembly program included graphic, realistic videos of actual
DUI accidents and emergency room scenes. A B-R senior commented that the program "made her very sad". Another senior said after viewing the program she will "never drink and drive."
