Streets Ahead

SIS member Laura Torrance shared her experiences with young drivers recently at an event in the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh. At the four day Streets Ahead Edinburgh Young Drivers event there was over 2,000 youngsters in attendance, they were there to learn about the dangers of driving. Laura, from East Kilbride, was 16 years old in 1999, when she was a passenger in a road collision. Road crashes are the biggest cause of death for people aged between 15 and 19, with an average of 54 accidents a week in Scotland involving a driver aged between 17 and 25. WANTED
