Surrey Safe Drive Stay Alive
Safe Drive Stay Alive (SDSA) is a road safety education initiative, led by Surrey Fire & Rescue Service, with support from Surrey Police, South East Coast Ambulance Service and Frimley Park Hospital. SDSA aims to make young people more aware of their responsibilities on the road and the consequences of poor or irresponsible driving. Through improving young people’s awareness and their attitude to responsible driving, and responsibilities as a passenger, the ultimate aim is to reduce the number of road traffic collisions caused by, or involving young people (age 17 - 24), and therefore positively influence the number of injuries or deaths on the roads in Surrey involving this at risk group.
