Simulator hopes to show people dangers of distracted driving

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon All State agent Mike Phillips dropped by 41NBC to discuss Allstate’s distracted driving simulator.

It puts the driver through a virtual reality setting where the dangers of distracted driving become real.
