Safe Drive Stay Alive
The Safe Drive Stay Alive road show returns to the MacRobert Art Centre, Stirling on the week beginning 6th February and runs until the 10th February 2017.
In 2007, in a bid to cut the number of incidents, injuries and deaths on the area’s roads, the fire and rescue and police services teamed-up as the Central Scotland Road Safety Partnership, launching the Safe Drive Stay Alive initiative.
This annual event delivers thought-provoking messages to young drivers by demonstrating in realistic terms the potentially lethal consequences should they fail to understand and accept their responsibilities when getting behind the wheel of a car.
The Safe Drive Stay Alive Roadshow gives first-hand accounts of the devastation a road crash can bring to a family are given by victims of accidents and surviving family members. With some of the country’s most scenic rural routes, emergency services operating in the Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire know as well as any the horrific consequences of careless and irresponsible driving.
The show is on every day Mon 6th - Fri 10th. 10.15-11.30 and 12.45-2.15. There is also a show on the Thursday evening. 7pm-8.30pm.
