Interactive Young Drivers Program

Featuring Distracted Driving Simulator

Working closely with MileOneCares, the philanthropic arm of Towson based MileOne Autogroup, Drive Smart Maryland provides educational programming to young drivers. The goal of these programs is to raise awareness among young drivers of the real risks and dangers of distracted driving and ultimately bring down the number of crashes and fatalities on our roads and keep everyone safer on our roadways. The participants have the opportunity to engage in a number of hands-on, small group activity stations utilizing technology such as a virtual reality headset to create realistic behind-the-wheel examples of the consequences of distracted driving.

• Distracted driving can include:
  • Texting
  • Eating
  • Drinking
  • Being impaired by alcohol or drugs
  • Smoking
  • Adjusting the radio
  • Additional passengers
  • Looking at outside people or events
• Program stations:
  • Distracted driving simulator using virtual reality technology in a full-size vehicle
  • Goggle simulated impaired driving obstacle course on a pedal kart
  • Traffic stop education with local law enforcement
  • kahoot! quiz on car ownership and maintenance
