WORLD PREMIERE
The first iPhone application Don't Drink and Drive!!!
Alexandrion Grup Romania and the Romanian Traffic Police launch the first iPhone application, entitled "Don't drink and Drive!"
Remember! Life has no restart button!
Bucharest, February 1, 2011 Enter the App Store and download "Don't Drink and Drive" for free to understand the risks you expose yourself to, but especially those around you, when you drink and drive.
"Don't drink and drive" is the first iOS (iPhone Operating System) application in the world that sounds an alarm signal against alcohol consumption at the wheel. Launched by Alexandrion Grup Romania together with the Romanian Traffic Police, this application is a car simulator and the difficulty levels represent different levels of blood alcohol. Did you know that, for example, at 0.03 per thousand, you don't appreciate the distances correctly? Imagine what it means to drive in such conditions!... or try the game that is available for free in the App Store.
Gyuri Eperjessy, Commercial Director of Alexandrion Grup Romania:
The "virus" of new technologies related to smartphones is spreading with amazing speed. It's a phenomenon that I think anyone can observe. This is the reason why we decided to take the first step in this new medium of communication: because it is permeable, accessible and cool at the same time. We used the idea of the game that we turned into an educational tool and I hope that we can once again raise the alarm about the risks of driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages."
Mister. Commissioner Chief of Police Dinita Lucian – The director of the Roads department within General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police - said :
We aim to bring attention to the aspects related to the fact that driving after drinking even just one glass of beer can radically change the course of your life, both for the person in question and for others.
"Don't drink and drive" is an action at the end of which we want to see that the number of traffic accidents caused by alcohol consumption has decreased. In this way we will be able to contribute more effectively to the road education of drivers and we will try to save as many lives as possible."
Game Description:
The game is played on five levels, represented by the level of alcohol in the blood (0‰, 0,3‰, 0,5‰, 0,8‰ and 1,1‰). The car responds to the driver's commands according to the degree of alcoholism and the effects it has on the human body (delayed reflexes, blurred vision, balance problems, etc.). At the beginning of each level of the application, the related blood alcohol level and the effects produced by the consumption of alcoholic beverages at the wheel are described. Depending on the accident that occurs (hitting a pedestrian, another car, a pole, or buildings) a relevant scene is displayed, as well as a text, in which the statistical data provided by the Romanian Traffic Police are presented with reference to accidents resulting from alcohol consumption. Therefore, the objective of the application is to warn drivers about the consequences of drinking alcohol while driving.
