Our Research And Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Intoxicated driving accidents impact everyone involved, from victims themselves to the onlookers that witness the accident.
That is why we want to make make everyone aware of what exactly happens when you are in a traffic accident. Maybe, after going through a simulated traffic accident, people will realise the seriousness of the situation they might cause by drunk or intoxicated driving.

People don’t realise what it is like to be in an actual (horrible) traffic accident.

Our vision

We want the general public to be aware about what the aftermath is of a fatal car accident.

After experiencing our game or ‘simulation’ we want people to realize the amount of damage that can occur when you get involved in a traffic accident. Everybody will realize the seriousness of the situation and drive responsibly.

Research

Okay, Lets spit some facts.

• In 1984, half of the 44000 fatalities surrounding car crashes were caused by drivers whom had alcohol in their blood.
• Around 24% of the total traffic fatalities could be avoided if no one had a drip of alcohol in their systems during driving.
• 34% of alcohol impaird deaths are caused by: 21 – 24 year old’s.
  • 30% by 25 – 34 year old’s.
  • 25% by 35 – 44 years old’s.
• In Spain, alcohol has been involved in 30 – 50% of fatal accidents and in 15 – 35% of crashes causing serious injury.
• Young people lack the information or knowledge about the legislation regarding driving under influence.
• Young people tend to believe there are ways to neutralize the effect of alcohol. There are NONE. The only way to neutralize alcohol out of your system is waiting it out.

We hope, that by playing our game people will see how horrible a traffic accident can be.
