Students at Salisbury High School were given the opportunity to experience distracted driving firsthand recently at the school.
Lehigh Valley Health Network, the Center for Humanistic Change, Students Against Destructive Decisions, Western Salisbury Fire Department, the Salisbury Township Police Department and the North Central Highway Safety Network participated in the event for students.
Students had the opportunity to wear firefighter gear, drive a car on a simulator while faced with distractions, wear fatal vision goggles and attempt to play basketball or take a field sobriety test and practice or learn CPR.
