The Arrive Alive tour stops in Carroll County

HUNTINGDON, TN. — “Arrive Alive” tour draws attention to drunk and distracted drivers Carroll County Technical Center.

This hands-on event is designed to safely and effectively educate young drivers about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving.

Recognized as the nation’s most popular drink and distracted driving awareness event, Unite’s Arrive Alive tour contains the country’s only marijuana driving simulator.

Using high-tech simulation, participants experience the potential consequences of driving while distracted, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, all without leaving a safe, controlled environment.

“I will definitely take part in this. For some, it can change the eye. It can change someone’s life. And make the right choice,” said Keegon, a student.

This event comes at a critical time. In 2023, there were more than 178,000 car crashes in Tennessee, with more than 61,000 involving young drivers between the ages of 16 and 25. Despite some reduction in the total number of accidents, teenage drivers remain at high risk.
