LEWISTON — The Bureau of Highway Safety simulators were brought to the school by the Youth to Youth program and the Lewiston Police Department as part of a weeklong program to introduce teens to the dangers of driving while distracted or impaired.
Over the course of the program, 168 students went through an hourlong class and then spent time on the simulators.
“It was a good representation of how hard it is to drive and text,” said Tim Enos, a junior at Leavitt Area High School, after his turn at the wheel.
