Crash Magnets" is a new road safety programme developed by Road Safety Scotland for Scottish schools. The Crash Magnets resource comprises a DVD with five programmers covering subjects such as; driver distraction, speed, the cruise culture and drink and drug driving. It delves into the role of the accident and emergency services and the harrowing aftermath of a serious crash.
Young people from across Scotland are Vox Pop subjects in each programme, expressing opinions and talking about their experiences. This encourages students to feel confident about talking out in class about their opinions and experiences.
The resource gives young people an understanding of the dangers of behaving irresponsibly at the wheel. The resource has been provided to all secondary schools within West Dunbartonshire following in-service training for pastoral care co-ordinators and teaching staff.
