Developed by the Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Road Safety Partnership, the ‘Wasted’ Road Show is geared to address the high level of young drivers and passengers killed and injured on our roads.
From 1st January 2004 to the end of September 2008, there have been:
86 fatal, 361 serious injury and 3,917 injury collisions involving young drivers.
The ‘Wasted’ Road Show is a hard-hitting and thought-provoking event which will make young people think seriously about the responsibilities of driving and the terrible consequences that can result from inexperience combined with high spirits, peer pressure and recklessness.
The presentation mixes film with a live, interactive dramatic performance and is based on a real incident which occurred in Ratby, Leicestershire in 2006. The incident resulted in the tragic death of Hannah Barnsley, aged just 15 years old, two other passengers suffered severe injuries and the driver was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving.
