Safe Drive Stay Alive

The Road Safety and School Travel team in Hillingdon invited all Year 12 and 13 students from schools in Hillingdon to attend the Safe Drive Stay Alive presentation, being held at the Winston Churchill Hall in Ruislip.

The purpose of the presentation was the importance of a young driver’s safety. Reaching new and pre-drivers in an emotive and hard-hitting way, influencing behaviour and attitude on the roads.

The presentation consisted of numerous partnerships, including London Ambulance Service, Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade and Transport for London

The students learnt that young drivers are much more likely to be involved in a crash on roads, often due to inexperience and a lack of knowledge of the risks.

It was a fantastic opportunity for the students from Uxbridge High to be exposed to the information and real life experiences of all the presenters.
