Safe Drive Stay Alive is a Community Safety Partnership project first run in Scotland in 2002. It was proposed to further educate young drivers in Scotland by using a more innovative and hard-hitting approach than was already in place. To this effect, the Roadshow was devised in such a way that it would be full-on, hard-hitting, realistic and highly emotive. The content of the project reflected the findings of statistical evidence, feedback from emergency service personnel, consultation with education officers and road users.
Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service will deliver its first 'Safe Drive Stay Alive' event in January 2008. The event will be held in the McRobert Centre within Stirling University.
The Safe Drive Stay Alive Roadshow is a partnership initiative aimed at reducing death and serious injuries, within the younger age group of 16-24 years, on Scotland's roads.
Statistics tell us that young inexperienced drivers are at a far higher risk of being involved in accidents than older more experienced drivers.
The Roadshow aims to educate most 4th, 5th and 6th year pupils and college students, nationaly aproximately 15000 students attend each year.
The production runs in January, November and December each year depending on the area and is organised with support and contributions from:
Community Safety Partnerships
Fire and Rescue Services
Road Safety Units
Police Forces
The Scottish Ambulance Service
Education Services
Criminal Justice Service
