And let's face it, we can talk to our kids until we are blue in the face, but will they hear us? Some maybe, some no; most of the time they have to "see it to believe it". How often do you hear us "adults" refer to the one (or more) time (s) we did drink and get behind the wheel and by some miracle didn't wreck?(look at the comments already posted). So now age, wisdom and the experience of being Sh*t-faced behind the wheel makes us realize we were in no condition to be driving, thank the heavens nothing bad happened, and vow never to make that mistake again.
We may not be able to bestow age and wisdom on our teens, but maybe, just maybe the experience, even if simulated, will stop someone from getting behind the wheel and preventing something tragic from happening. I'm all for it.
