State Farm and the Michigan State Police are teaming up to teach the dangers of driving.

Hands on activities like a Google stimulator is teaching youth and adults in Mid-Michigan the sometimes fatal effects of driving under the influence and distracted.

"The fatalities are the ones that get talked about. What about the folks who are 16 and injured permanently, maybe a 20% disability for the rest of their lives," asked Ernest Walker of State Farm.

Walker said setting and enforcing rules and monitoring your teens driving habits could be the difference between life and death.
