Safe Drive Stay Alive is a series of live educational performances which aim to make young people aware of their responsibilities as drivers, and passengers, and to positively influence their attitudes, with the overarching aim of improving road safety. Each live performance comprises a host and a series of films and live speakers, recalling how they and their families have been affected by a road traffic collision involving a young person.

The live speakers include emergency service personnel, as well as members of the public, who have either lost a family member, due to a road traffic collision, or a driver or passenger, involved in a fatal or serious collision.

One young participant said:

“The comments about phones in the car, showing how much of a distraction it can be influenced me. It made me very aware of other people’s actions and I, several times, offered to set up/change directions on the phone,to make sure my parents don’t interact with it in the car.”
