Staffs police seem to be trying to influence the young (or not so!) people who speed around in ludicrously pimped up little cars. Various intiatives aimed at the the petrol headed little oiks are being attempted. This includes visiting them at McDonalds (Bristol Street Island), and various car parks around the town.
A road traffic collision is the most likely cause of death for a male aged 18 - 25, and though they form about 11% of the population they are responsible for 44% of the serious accidents.
Bristol Street Island is sporting two posters aimed at influencing behaviour, one of which actually includes a photograph of an accident scene in which I feature! Though even my mum would not be able to tell which one is me.
Staffs Fire and Rescue, as always, is looking to keep its citizens safer, so if anyone has any good ideas of how we could get young men to behave more temperately in their vehicles, feel free to air your views.
We currently go into schools and talk to kids using a professionally designed education pack, and use opportunistic education to get our safe driving message across, but we are always on the look out for other ideas.
PS for newer forumites, I am a water squirter/ smoke eater/ fireman sam, feel free to add your own!
