A film has been made as part of the annual ‘For my girlfriend’ (FMG) campaign, which asks young men to take care of their female passengers. More girls aged 17-19 years die as passengers than as drivers, and the reverse is true of young men of the same age.
The film does not apportion blame, or even explain what may or may not have happened.
It simply reminds young people of the potentially tragic consequences when things go wrong on the road.
Jo Lazar, FMG campaign organiser, says: “There’s no point in preaching to young people about road safety, or telling them what they should or should not do – they won’t take any notice.
“Our film leaves it to them to decide what may or may not have happened, and simply reminds them of the potentially terrible consequences if things go wrong."
