Mario Kart teaches students safe driving

Mario Kart is good for many things – like selling bucket loads and making Nintendo rich. However, Vail Christian High School over in the US have found that it also helps to show how driving when distracted can be dangerous.

The tests they preformed show students how dangerous it is to drive while using a mobile phone or reading by making them play the game when preforming such tasks.

So, what were the results? “Several cows have been hit today,” says Kim Greene, the teacher in charge.

Moo Moo Meadows is blooming evil track anyway – distracted or not!
