don't kill your mates...

The most dangerous people behind the wheel are young males with passengers because they drive faster for the thrill of it and to show off.

They are more likely to be a new driver with little or no experience so when they drive at speed, they are more likely to lose control behind the wheel.

Making sharp, risky driving moves at speed or driving too close behind other cars is really dangerous as they won't be able to brake in time if, for example, a child runs into the road.

Deadly Mates have their friends in the car with them chatting, laughing, listening to music and they aren't concentrating fully on what they're doing. Often, they don't realise how fast they're driving.

Their friends put pressure on them to take risks at the wheel for a laugh, or they race other cars, which is stupid and really dangerous.

Taking drugs or drinking and driving do not mix but Deadly Mates think they can handle it. They think they are above the law and won't get caught but this is when accidents happen.  They do happen.
