UNITE’s Arrive Alive Tour® Visits Glens Falls High School

Today, Glens Falls High School – located at 10 Quade Street in Glens Falls – will be hosting UNITE’s Arrive Alive Tour® from 8:45 AM to 2:45 PM. This is the nation’s number-one ranked “drunk and distracted”
driving awareness event, as well as the first-and-only Marijuana Driving Simulator in the
country.

The Arrive Alive Tour uses a high-tech, state-of-the-art simulator that allows
participants to drive while distracted, drunk, or drugged in a fully functioning vehicle without
moving or being intoxicated. The simulator allows participants to experience the real-life
dangers without the real-life consequences.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. In 2018, about 400,000 people were injured and
2,841 people were killed as a result of distraction-affected crashes… The fatal crash rate for teens is three
times greater than for drivers age 20 and over, and driver distraction is responsible for more
than 58% of teen crashes.

The Arrive Alive team’s mission is to educate teen drivers on the dangers and consequences of impaired and distracted driving, and to create life-long safe driving habits to eliminate fatalities on our roads. UNITE’s Arrive Alive Tour is sponsored by BOCES of New York to bring this life-changing event to the students with the mission of changing these dangerous driving behaviors and saving lives.
