The PA DUI Assoc. Lookin' Out Safety Bug visits Garnet Valley High School

Lets face it lifes lessons are best learned through experience.
Unfortunately, when the target audience is teens and the topic is drinking and driving, experience is not the teacher of choice.

The PA DUI Safety Bug has been custom engineered to demonstrate the loss of control one would experience if operating a motor vehicle while in an impaired state. The key difference is that its the car not the driver who is drunk.

A trained mentor in the front passenger seat controls settings which cause the vehicles steering to lose its finesse and prompt the braking mechanisms to become unpredictable. The result is an unsettling episode for the teen in the driver seat who gains a firsthand glimpse of what it feels like to drive under the influence.

With the great success of the original Safety Bug, it was our great pleasure to team up with Erie Insurance to create the Lookin Out Safety Bug. The Lookin' Out Bug is now touring the Commonwealth and surrounding states educating students about the dangers of drinking and driving just like its predecessor.
