Instructors also made Ward Melville High School students wear special goggles that mimic what it's like to be drunk behind the wheel.
The course may have been in a gymnasium, but students say the stress was real. One 12th-grader says the course was helpful.
The Town of Brookhaven's driver safety program is partially funded through state grants.
