The UPD provides presentations to students on the hazards of driving while intoxicated. The program includes a special pair of goggles that when worn disorient the wearer – much as he or she would be while intoxicated. Under controlled conditions, a screened volunteer may drink alcohol and at various stages of intoxication take a Field Sobriety Test and breath test to demonstrate how little alcohol it really takes to impair a person’s ability to perform simple tasks. The UPD has also arranged for the “Mothers Against Drunk Driving” (MADD) car crash display to be displayed on the SJSU campus, when available, in an effort to raise awareness to the dangers of driving while intoxicated.
