Blind people get a chance to drive cars and feel what it is like to be behind the wheel of a car at The MasterDrive Experience in Centennial, Colorado.

CENTENNIAL, CO - MAY 27: Blind student Jake Cohen, in driver's seat, gives a big smile after having the chance to drive a car for the very first time with head driving coach Eric La, in passenger seat, during an experiential driving clinic for the blind at the MasterDrive Experience in Centennial, Colorado on May 27, 2015. Blind people of all ages got the chance to drive cars and feel what it is like to be behind the wheel of a car at The MasterDrive Experience. Focusing exclusively on the kinesthetic aspects of driving, as well as auditory and touch, the students and staff from the Colorado Center for the Blind got a chance to drive a car, negotiate an obstacle course of orange cones and even straighten the car out from a skid on water during the class. Though they won't be able to get a license, this activity gives some a chance to challenge fears and conquer them. Since beginning the program in 2001 hundreds of visually impaired people have had the opportunity to drive cars.
