No-one can afford to miss the north east's Safe Drive Stay Alive show, on Wednesday, November 3 from 7.15pm at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen.

The show is back for its sixth year and aims to reinforce the importance of driving safely.

Members of the public are invited to experience an emotive film and stage show that will leave many speechless as it illustrates how lives can change in seconds with real life stories from people affected by a car crash.

Organisers have warned that the show may not be suitable for children under the age of 16 due to the content.

Chairman of the Aberdeenshire Community Safety Partnership William Munro said:

"Safe Drive Stay Alive is not just an event for drivers or learners but for everyone as we can all be more aware of distractions, road conditions and other drivers when we are out and about on the road.

"We want to show the consequences of different actions and how a split second can affect the lives of a family, the emergency services and friends.

"The community safety partnership is working with partners in the emergency services to bring down the number of car crashes on our roads and the show this year is part of changing behaviour out there on our roads.

"There's been a significant push this year to highlight the importance of wearing a seatbelt and we're doing all we can to stress that this greatly increases your chances of surviving a crash.

"Statistics show that young drivers are more likely to be involved in collisions, young males especially, but it's in everyone's interests to think about how to drive safe and stay alive so I urge people in the north east to come to the show and bring a young person along."

In 2009 there were 28 fatal collisions in the Grampian area resulting in 31 fatalities. Ten were within the 17-25 age group, which is 32% of the total. There were also 345 people seriously injured of which 96 were in the 17-25 age group which is 28% of the total.

Safe Drive Stay Alive is a four-day event and school pupils in S5 from Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray will attend the show at the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen from Tuesday, November 2 until Friday, November 5.

The evening session is free and opens on Wednesday, November 3 from 7.15pm. For further information contact Kate Rigby on 01467 628439, by email at:
