Ford creates 'drug driving suit' to simulate the dangers of getting behind the wheel when high

Ford has created a "drugged driving" simulator suit to show motorists the effects of driving under the influence of illegal drugs such as a cannabis, cocaine, heroin and MDMA.

The "drugged driving suit" comes after a recent Government study, which shows people who take drugs before getting behind the wheel of a car believe it is a "much more acceptable" than driving while drunk.

The drug suit which makes drivers feel high was developed in collaboration with scientists from the Meyer-Hentschel Institute in Germany and simulates slower reaction time, distorted vision, hand tremors and poor coordination.

Padding, goggles and headphones create the effects of reduced mobility and vision following the same model as the company’s drunk driving suit developed last year.
