Teaching the dangers of alcohol and drunk driving, Port Townsend High School forensics teacher Brandi Hageman’s class received a hands on — or goggles on — experience in January.
Teaming up with Washington State Patrol’s Trooper Katherine Weatherwax, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and Washington State Parks, Hageman’s class of around 25 upperclassmen participated in simulated impairment activities connected to current class lectures.
The students donned Fatal Vision goggles and performed a variety of tasks like pouring water, shooting basketball free throws, and kicking a soccer ball while collecting accuracy and time stamps to simulate the effects of alcohol.
Fatal Vision goggles imitate visual impairment caused by drinking booze, and the high schoolers used goggles ranging from .07 percent to .25 percent blood alcohol concentration.
In the second day of activities, the students had the option of driving a Gator utility vehicle through an obstacle course while wearing the goggles. Weatherwax, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Brandon Przygocki, and Washington State Park Ranger Brian Hageman each assisted with the Gator obstacle course or conducting standard field sobriety tests.
To view the students in action on the obstacle course, visit Weatherwax’s Twitter account at twitter.com/wspd8pio/status/1614078119568347139.
