The start of the 2023-2024 school year was most exciting for the students at Carbon Career & Technical Institute in Jim Thorpe.
Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Distracted Driving Simulator made a stop at the school campus last week. CCTI’s junior students were able to take part in a distracted driving scenario.
Along with LVHN, there were representatives from the Highway Safety Network, as well as Carbon-Monroe-Pike Drug and Alcohol.
Students had the opportunity to play a game, which gave them insight into how very difficult it is to multitask while driving.
CCTI’s SADD and Aevidum clubs hosted the event for Safety Day at the school.
CCTI juniors participate in distracted driver simulations on Monday.
