How fast can you drive without hitting something? What about in the snow and ice? Do you spin out?
You can give your driving skills a try tomorrow afternoon in Tarrytown on Westchester County’s driving simulator. Especially if you’re a teenager.
The county is sponsoring a fair for teenage drivers, designed to demonstrate how to drive safely. One of the attractions will be the county’s simulator.
I tried it last week to see how well I kept on the road when faced with a number of distractions. The cell phone and crying baby got the better of me. I crashed three times.
Teenagers, for every mile they drive, are four times more likely to be involved in a crash than other drivers. The risk increases with every additional passenger.
So have a go at it. The fair takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Marriot Hotel on Route 119.
Parents, teachers, school administrators, law enforcement personnel and health-care professionals are also invited.
