Amberley Village to Host Distracted Driving Simulator October 27
The Amberley Village Police & Fire Department will host a Distracted Driving Traffic Safety Event at the Amberley Village Municipal Building at 7149 Ridge Road on Sunday, October 27, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event is open to the public, and is especially valuable for experienced drivers, although everyone can benefit. In a recent study, more than 76% of Americans say they are good drivers. But clearly there is an overconfidence bias that develops with increased experience, as 93% of Americans admit to unsafe driving behavior.
The study, which was conducted by insurance provider Esurance, showed that distracted driving as a category was the second-leading cause of automobile fatalities by common unsafe driving behaviors, including changing the radio or navigation, eating and texting.
Amberley Village invites everyone to experience the Distracted Driving Simulator, which gives a virtual reality experience in a safe 3-D setting. See first-hand the potentially deadly consequences of glancing at your phone, talking, or texting while driving. The Simulator replicates the interior of a car, complete with a steering wheel, pedals and an on-screen “dash” display (see graphic, right). Participants must be 15 years old or older to use the simulator. Reservations are recommended at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/avsimulator; however, limited space will be reserved for walk in participants.
What Is Distracted Driving?
Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system—anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving. Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds. At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed. You cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has your full attention. Any non-driving activity you engage in is a potential distraction and increases your risk of crashing.

Open Burning Safety During Dry Weather
Amberley Village reminds residents of the following Open Burning Guidelines, especially during dry weather.
Hamilton County Wireless Emergency Alert Test Scheduled for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, September 4
Hamilton County, OHIO – Hamilton County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (EMHSA), in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct the first county-wide test of the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 at 9 a.m. EDT. A test message reading: “THIS IS A TEST of the Hamilton County Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action required.” will be sent to cell phones in Hamilton County to assess the county’s readiness to alert the public when an emergency is in progress. A backup test date is scheduled for September 10, 2019 at 9 a.m. EDT.
Many members of the public will receive the WEA test message on their cell phones. Specifically, beginning at 9 a.m. EDT, cell towers will broadcast the WEA test for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, WEA-compatible wireless phones that are turned on, within range of an active cell tower, and whose wireless provider participates in WEA, should be capable of receiving the test message. The test WEA will appear to the public as a text-like message accompanied by a special tone and vibration, both repeated twice. Because this is just a test message, no action is required when the public receives the message.
