Smash Match® is a timed activity that involves matching and placing simple traffic-related shapes on the Smash Match® mat, first without and then with the impairing effects of the Fatal Vision® Opioid Goggles and wrist weights. This activity shows that our ability to accomplish simple tasks greatly diminishes once our senses are impaired. Printed messages on the mat promote positive driving behaviors that reduce the risk of severe traffic-related injury and fatalities.
Instructional materials include a Smash Match® user’s guide that helps the instructor effectively deliver an experience about the dangers of opioid-impaired driving. Participants work with their instructors to develop strategies to prevent impairment and promote safe driving.
