The project, aimed at students aged between 16 and 18 years within the Tayside, Angus and Perthshire areas, aims to make young people aware of dangers on the roads. Scottish Fire and Rescue Service officers, police officers, paramedics and A&E doctors shared some of the horrors they've faced at the scene of serious collisions.
More than 4,500 young adults attended the events in Forfar, Dundee and Perth this month and were given a clear insight to the potential consequences that follow serious collisions.
Richard Gough, Head of Safety, Health and Environment at SSEN attended one of the events in Perth: "We're delighted to support the Safe Drive Stay Alive events organised by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Supported by a wide range of partner agencies, this event highlights the importance of safety in the communities we serve, no matter your age, location or situation."
"Some of the young adults involved may join our workforce one day and the majority of them are future customers. With this in mind, why wouldn't we want to try to positively influence their behaviour and help educate them with regard to the risks they'll face when they eventually get behind the wheel of a vehicle?
"At Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, we reinforce our key message of "if it's not safe, we don't do it". Safety is a value for SSEN and we hope this event encourages the young people involved to think differently about driving."
Ewan Baird, Station Manager at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service added: "Too many young people are unaware how easily a driver can lose control and how terrible the consequences can be."
"Hearing these stories has to make us all think about our actions when we are behind the wheel. I hope the Safe Drive Stay Alive event has made our young people more aware of the risks and helps to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on our roads."
