ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The Lima Allen County Safe Community Coalition is bringing a national initiative to promote safe choices behind the wheel to the Allen County Fair.
This Saturday, the "Arrive Alive Tour" will make its way to the fairgrounds. This drunk and distracted driving awareness simulator is ranked number one in the nation. It uses high-tech and state-of-the-art equipment that allows participants to drive while distracted, drunk, or drugged in a vehicle without moving or being intoxicated experiencing real-life dangers without the real-life consequences.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to encourage people to drive sober, to drive with their mind and their eyes on the road, and to understand the consequences of what bad driving habits can mean," said Shaunna Basinger, public outreach & community program planner.
The Arrive Alive Tour will be at the fair from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, August 20th.
