Years ago the state police here in Illinois and elsewhere had a device called the CONVINCER. It was sled on an incline. They broiught it to Malls etc. It simulated a crash at 5 miles per hour. It convinced you that hitting another object at only 5 miles per hour without a seat belt would send you through the the windshield of the car.

I’m all for convincing young people who are driving about the risks they take driving when sober let alone drunk, but to do it in a creative honest way.

I’d like to know what MADD thinks about this prank.

I love the CONVINCER. Simple physics. Hard to argue against.

MADD is behind this prank. Just like all the propaganda and scare tactics associated with this witch hunt.
