As a member of the Tayside Fire and Rescue Board I was invited to attend a presentation for fourth year pupils on road safety in the Caird Hall.
Safe Drive Stay Alive is a very harrowing presentation of the dangers which are present for young drivers. It presented the problems which can come about as a result of young people speeding or showing off when driving. It was shocking that the presentation claimed that the biggest killer of teenage girls is teenage boys driving.
We also heard from the father of a five year-old boy who was killed by a drunk-driver. It was shocking to hear his story. I do hope that the young people there will think carefully about their behaviour when they are able to drive. This was a harrowing event and certainly made me think about road safety.
Well done to those who organised the event.
