Steve Buckanowski, 20, of Savannah reacts as he participates in a drunk driving simulation under the watch of safety ambassador Meghan Yost as Georgia Southern students get a taste of the consequences of distracted driving and driving while intoxicated during Thursday's Arrive Alive Tour visit on campus. The university's Office of Alcohol and Other Drugs Program hosted the tour, run by Unite Corp, which travels across the country with their safety awareness programs and visits school campuses at every level of education.
Every 2 minutes, a person is injured in an accident that involves drinking and driving. And on average, two out of three people will be involved in a drunk driving accident in their lifetime. Every day, people drive intoxicated more than 200,000 times and only about 3,200 of them are arrested.
