Ramapo SROs Partner with Students to Highlight the Dangers of Impaired Driving

Published

on

As Memorial Day weekend and prom/graduation season approach, our SROs are working proactively to help students understand the real-life consequences of dangerous driving decisions.

Using Fatal Vision Goggles, students got a powerful, hands-on experience showing how alcohol and drug impairment can affect vision, balance, and reaction time—all without ever getting behind the wheel. The experience served as a vivid reminder that just one poor decision can lead to life-altering consequences.

We’re incredibly proud of our students for taking this lesson seriously and grateful to our SROs for their ongoing dedication to keeping our community safe.

Let’s all do our part to ensure this season is remembered for the right reasons. Stay safe and drive responsibly!
