This drunk driving lesson was a little too realistic.
A golf cart rigged to simulate the dangers of tipsy motoring went out of control at a New Jersey police fair and struck five people — landing them all in a hospital, authorities said Wednesday.
A teenager was behind the wheel with a cop riding shotgun Tuesday evening when the cart swerved off its special orange-coned course at the National Night Out event in Wildwood on the Jersey Shore, according to police.
The off-the-rails vehicle plowed into four adults and a child — prompting firefighters who were already there to rush to their aid, the Wildwood Police Department said in a press release.
The golf cart ride was built to mimic what an impaired driver experiences, and has been a novelty at the annual event — which aims to “strengthen police-community partnerships” with games and grub — for 20 years.
Wildwood police offered condolences to people who were hurt.

“Golf cart rigged to simulate drunk driving goes wild, runs over 5 people “
Mission accomplished, I guess.
I don’t know why, but this makes me want to burst out laughing.
What could possibly go wrong? (followed by terrified screaming crowds running in every direction, police running fruitlessly to corral the cart, babies screaming, all being chased by a mindless Killer Kart)
I do hope all the people are okay. That isn’t funny, but the thought they could do this on a crowded fairground is absurd.
Probably driven by AI.
Time to ban all drunk golf carts.
“Move along! Nothing to see here!
Police forces generally don it hire the brightest.
Must have been the beer cart.
I thought it was going to be the ‘Bee’.
Yes, a pretty realistic simulation, after all.
Good that the coppers are occupying their time doing other things than policing BLM, Antifa and Pali Muzzie "demonstrators"!
Were the people that we hit dark skinned?

A DEI golf cart?
