Don't Be a Loser - Stay Focused
- In 2005, 164 people in Staffordshire were killed or injured while travelling in cars.
- Young drivers are twice as likely to die in a road crash when carrying passengers of their own age. Giving a lift to one of your mates makes an accident twice as likely, two or more makes it five times as likely.
- In a crash at 30mph, if someone in the back isn't wearing a seatbelt, they will hit the front seat, and anyone in it, with a force of between 30 and 60 times their own weight - enough to kill or seriously injure you.
