Ford Europe has demonstrated a new ‘suit’ which it says gives drivers the opportunity to experience life behind the wheel while under the influence of illicit drugs.

The suit features goggles that simulate tunnel vision, weights for the limbs to make walking difficult and slow reaction times along with tremor simulators for the hands. 

There’s also a set of headphones that play random and distracting sounds while the user is wearing the suit.

Combined, the suit’s individual features are designed to give drivers a sense of the effects of drugs on the body, while operating a vehicle in a controlled environment.

While the suit might not look glamourous, it’s hoped demonstrations for young drivers under Ford’s Driving Skills For Life program will deter them from drug-driving when they obtain a licence.
