Fatal Vision® Drowsy and Distracted – Event Kit
Use the seven (7) engaging activities in this kit with the Fatal Vision Drowsy and Distracted Goggles to build awareness and promote alternatives to these avoidable risky behaviors.
Experience
Drowsy and distracted driving contributes to thousands of fatalities and serious injuries on the road every year. From glancing at your phone to nodding off after a long day, the reality is clear: driving tired or distracted is driving impaired. In this drowsy and distracted driving educational event kit, you will find activities and resources to use in conjunction with the Fatal Vision Drowsy and Distracted Goggles to provide a simulated experience of impairment from drowsiness or distraction and the potentially devastating consequences.
How It Works
Use the activities in this event kit in conjunction with the Fatal Vision Drowsy and Distracted Goggles. Our goggles are configured and controlled through Bluetooth using an app on your mobile phone. From your device, you will choose between three impairment modes:
- Mode A – Distracted Dial simulates what could happen if someone takes their eyes off the road “just long enough” to dial a phone. Every three seconds, the goggles blackout.
- Mode B – Distracted Text simulates the distraction that occurs when someone reads or responds to a text. The goggles blackout for 4.6 seconds to simulate the researched average amount of time a person’s eyes and attention are on a device rather than on the road.
- Mode C – Drowsy simulates momentary micro-sleeps that build in waves until the eyes and brain shut down. The goggles blackout beginning with a short half-second closure and continue to blackout for longer periods, progressing to 10-seconds.
