03:50safety foundation and to spread awareness about road safety cannot be more important surely at a
03:58a supercars racing event because obviously that's about driving and the difference between when
04:04you're just sort of normal and then putting on those drunk glasses wow i really was disoriented and
04:10it's really sobering to think that that wasn't even a high level of alcohol that they were simulating
04:15with the glasses and it was just i was so unbalanced and to try and get to the low ones
04:21and reactions are a
04:22lot slower so i just think that's really good that they're raising awareness for road safety
