Safe Drive Stay Alive

Safe Drive, Stay Alive

Safe Drive, Stay Alive, a partnership initiative that is led by Surrey Fire & Rescue Service, is an effective means of teaching road safety in Surrey. It aims to positively influence the attitude of young drivers, by providing them with a taste of reality, along with accurate and suitable information in order to make an informed choice about how they decide to drive on Surrey's roads. Since April 2005 up to November 2014, over 103,000 young people have attended one of 173 performances at Dorking Halls.

BBC Documentary "Licence to Kill"

On 5 February 2013, the BBC filmed a performance of 'Safe Drive, Stay Alive,' footage of which was included in a one hour documentary, entitled 'Licence to kill' broadcast on BBC 3. The documentary was presented by Sophie Morgan who suffered a serious road traffic collision in 2003, when she was 18, that left her a paraplegic.

The documentary focussed on 17 - 24 year old drivers, who account for a larger than expected percentage of people killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads. Whilst examining the reasons why this age group are involved in so many collisions and the consequences of poor driving, the programme will also look at ways of reducing these casualties, including how and where road safety education is delivered around the UK.
