JOG tests out DUI goggles

Last year the North­mor JOG seniors pur­chased a Mario Kart and Wii to use for tex­ting and DUI gog­gles. The idea came from the Safe Dri­ving Sum­mit Meet­ing last March. The seniors could reach more high school stu­dents by hav­ing them par­tic­i­pate in the project dur­ing lunch.

This year’s North­mor JOG seniors had Ohio High­way State Trooper Nel­son (Mor­row County Youth Safety Coun­cil) come and help them with the Mario Kart at lunch.

Trooper Nel­son helped change up the sce­nar­ios to the tex­ting and using the DUI gog­gles, which sim­u­lated more real­is­tic dri­ving. The Mario Kart project will be brought out dur­ing prom week to remind stu­dents to not drink and drive and that tex­ting is against the law.
