Drunk busters.
Several Deerfield Rotary Club members got to see first hand the results of the
club’s efforts to help combat teen drunk driving Monday. Club member Vicki
Case, from the Deerfield Bannockburn Riverwoods Chamber, Ron Levitski, a West
Deerfield Township Trustee, and Club President Barbara
Struthers watched driver training students try out the “drunk
buster” googles while riding a golf cart around traffic cones. Deerfield Rotary
donated the googles and the golf cart, in coordination with the DBR chamber and
West Deerfield Township.
The students ran over nearly all of the traffic cones, leaving an impression
not only on the cones, but the students, as to why you don’t want to drink and
drive.
Driving instructor John Sullivan will be at a future
Rotary meeting to let us know what the students said after the class.
