WELLS ─ The International Save A Life Tour will visit Wells High School on Oct. 19, 2018 and students are invited to check out this safe-driving program that includes a $1.5 million impaired simulator and a $250,000 distracted driving simulator that has visited the Pentagon and traveled around the world with the Department of Defense.

A schoolwide presentation for the Wells High student body will begin at 7:30 a.m. and will be followed by “hands-on” driving experiences provided throughout the school day to students.

This is the same program that the U.S. Department of Defense and multiple departments of transportation, including those in Connecticut, Missouri, and the Rhode Island, employ to inform students about the dangers of driving impaired and driving while texting.

The International Save A Life Tour is a comprehensive high impact, safe driving awareness program that informs, educates, and demonstrates the potentially deadly consequences resulting from poor choices and decisions made by the operator of a motor vehicle.

The program specifically places emphasis on the following driving situations including distracted driving, impaired driving, improper driver behavior, seat belt usage and other situations one might encounter while driving.

The tour uses several methods for educating participants including a video presentation, a speaking presentation, an interactive demonstration with simulators, pre and post surveys and take-a-ways including a pledge card and a wristband.
