THE multi-award winning Safe Drive Stay Alive show returns in November for its 12th year of operation and pupils from Beath and Lochgelly High Schools will get the chance to see it.

A new film has been created for 2014’s roadshow, which along with live action segments highlight the dangers faced by new and young drivers, towards reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on Fife’s roads.

It is expected that over 4500 young people will attend the event, which brings the following partners together: Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Fife Community Safety Partnership, Police Scotland, NHS Fife, Scottish Ambulance Service and Fife Council.

Graham Barclay, SFRS Partnership Prevention Officer for Fife, and compere of the event, said, “We’re very proud of Safe Drive Stay Alive and the way its messages resonate with young people.

“The roadshow demonstrates what could happen when you are not in control of your surroundings, such as when you drive using a mobile phone or if you don’t wear a seat belt.

“Practitioners from all emergency services explain their role in road traffic collisions, and we have local families who share their experiences of the wide-ranging damage caused. It really provides the reality of what will happen if you are in a collision.” A special evening show will take place on Thursday 6th November at 7pm at the Rothes Halls in Glenrothes. It is free of charge and aimed at anyone over 14. Parents with children who are driving or learning to drive are also encouraged to go along.
