As we enter prom and graduation season -- and are in the midst of the 100 deadliest days of summer, during which teenagers are more likely to be involved in a car accident, according to AAA -- young drivers are invited to experience the consequences of driving distracted or impaired during Brookhaven Highway Department's Teen Driver Safety program. The program takes teenagers age 15 and over through a variety of interactive exercises designed to replicate the impairment created by drinking or texting. Certified instructors will talk with participants about the importance of developing safe habits while traveling the roadways.Teens will then drive electric cars to complete obstacle courses designed to simulate driving while texting or impaired.
