Each year, Ranchview High School asks Irving Police to help sponsor a pre-prom event to raise awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence for prom goers. On Wednesday, April 19th, the Irving Police DWI Unit presented their simulated DWI event using a driving course and their fatal vision goggles in Ranchview’s north parking lot. Seniors with a drivers license were allowed to drive the course with and without the “drunk goggles” that simulate brain and vision impairment while driving. Students were quite surprised at their inability to maintain their driving skills while impaired. Officers also educated them about current DWI Texas laws for both minors and adults.
Thank you Irving PD for participating & sharing this important information!
