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.
