State Police and other highway officials visited Boston College High School Wednesday to teach students about driving safely.

Students were given the chance to try out a special simulator that shows the dangers of driving while distracted. Those who tried it called it a "wake-up call" about not using their phone while driving.

The simulator is part of a mobile classroom that visits high schools to educate young drivers.
