What Is SIDNE?

The SIDNE (Simulated Impaired Driving Experience) simulator is an interactive educational tool designed to demonstrate how impairment can affect a person's ability to operate a vehicle.

Using a specially equipped driving cart, participants experience simulated changes in vehicle response and control, helping illustrate the challenges and dangers associated with impaired driving.

What Participants Experience

The demonstration helps reinforce awareness of:

Delayed reaction times
Reduced vehicle control
Impaired judgment
Difficulty responding to changing conditions
The importance of responsible driving decisions

SIDNE is an educational simulation. It does not reproduce every effect of actual alcohol or drug impairment.
