Students from Harrow College attended the safe drive, stay alive event at the Harrow Arts Centre, on Wednesday 19 November.

Over 80 students saw a powerful production which underlined the dangers to new drivers including peer pressure, driver distraction and drink driving.

The event included a filmed reconstruction of a car crash that was interspersed with real life testimonies; including an ambulance paramedic, a fire-fighter and a police officer. The students also heard from a bereaved parent and a car crash survivor who spoke openly about their personal experiences.

The performance was organised by the Road Safety Unit at the London Borough of Harrow. Sandie Petrie, enrichment co-ordinator at Harrow College said this is a performance our students will not forget.

"I am sure that every time they get into a car that they will remember what was said about the importance of wearing seat belts, not being distracted by others in the car and driving safely."
