vs上警察局在3月7日举办了驾驶员安全活动
VALDOSTA — The 美高梅博彩 Police Department will host the Blazer Safety Maze from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7, on the Front Lawn. 活动是免费的，并向学生，教师和工作人员开放。
“We are holding this event to remind the vs上 community to not drive while under the influence of alcohol and other drugs,” said Sgt. Heidi Browning with vs上PD. “Spring break is the following week, and statistics show that crashes caused by driving under the influence increase significantly during that time.”
Blazer安全迷宫是一个充满交互式模拟和安全驾驶重要性信息的交通安全活动。
STOP（安全交通操作程序）模拟器将让与会者安全地体验受损驾驶的影响。 有执照的司机可以戴上特殊的护目镜，驾驶高尔夫球车通过一个封闭的橙色锥形球场。
使用人体模型，翻车模拟器将演示如果驾驶员或乘客在车辆翻车时没有系安全带会发生什么。
安全带说服模拟器将让乘客感受到沉船的力量，看看安全带是如何挽救生命的。
与会者还将探索一辆用于处理和关押醉酒司机的血液和酒精拖车，以及一辆被称为“熊猫”的装甲车。
Airlife 9是一个由专业航空和医疗人员组成的团队，致力于卓越的空中医疗运输，将于下午5点左右在前草坪降落一架直升机。
“The event is a proactive approach to promote safe driving decisions through awareness and education on traffic safety issues such as impaired driving of drugs and alcohol, distracted driving, texting while driving, proper seat belt usage, speed and aggressive driving, along with various prevention and awareness campaigns,” Browning said.
Sponsors of the Blazer Safety Maze include the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, City of Byron Police Department, Charlton County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Airlife 9, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, vs上’s Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Education, and vs上’s Student Government Association.
研究表明，醉酒或吸毒的司机比未醉酒的司机更容易造成车祸、公路伤害和车辆死亡。 根据美国国家公路交通安全管理局的数据，每年有超过1.3万人死于酒后驾车事故。
此外，分心驾驶造成的撞车风险是不分心驾驶的23倍，虽然发短信是最令人担忧的分心，但这并不孤单。 Using a cell phone, eating and drinking, talking to passengers, reading, using a navigation system, checking a map, grooming, watching a video, and adjusting a CD player, radio, or MP3 player all divert a person’s attention from the primary task of driving, putting the driver, his or her passengers, and any nearby bystanders at risk of serious injury and even death.
“I want people to come out and really see how immobilizing and dangerous it is to do those things,” Browning said. “Everybody thinks they can do it until they get behind that wheel.”
