DVD reminder to young motorists

A DVD reminding young motorists about safe driving has been launched in a bid to cut the number of fatal crashes in north Wales.

The North Wales Road Safety Group produced the disc after 13 of the 36 road deaths in north Wales in 2004 involved people aged between 17 and 25 years.

The DVD was launched with the reconstruction of a serious crash and features interviews with a crash survivor, victims' relatives, police officers and a nurse.

"It doesn't matter that you have passed your test and have a qualification to drive a car, you are still learning", says Heather Lynne Jones , of the North Wales Road Safety Group. "Experience is the key to surviving driving - we want young people to drive within their capabilities and experience."
