	No-one can afford to miss the new Safe Drive Stay Alive show, on Wednesday, November 4 from 7pm at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen. The show is back for its fifth year with a new storyline, film and cast and aims to shine a headlight on the importance of driving safely. Members of the public are invited to experience an emotive film and stage show that will leave many speechless as it illustrates how lives can change in seconds with real life stories from people affected by a car crash. Organisers have warned that the show may not be suitable for children under the age of 16 due to the content. Chairman of the Aberdeenshire Community Safety Partnership William Munro said: “Safe Drive Stay Alive is not just an event for drivers or learners but for everyone as we can all be more aware of distractions, road conditions and other drivers when we are out and about on the road. “We want to show the consequences of different actions and how a split second can affect the lives of a family, the emergency services and friends. “The community safety partnership is working with partners in the emergency services to bring down the number of car crashes on our roads and the new show this year is part of changing behaviour out there on our roads. “Statistics show that young drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents, young males especially, but it’s in everyone’s interests to think about how to drive safe and stay alive so I urge people in the north east to come to the show.” Safe Drive Stay Alive is sponsored by ExxonMobil and Petrofac and involves a number of partner organisations working together to improve road safety, the partners are Aberdeenshire Council, Grampian Police, Grampian Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service, NHS Grampian, Aberdeen City Council and Moray Council. Vice president of Finance and Business Services for Petrofac Offshore Engineering and Operations Carl Thompson said: “Safety is fundamental in everything that we do, whether at work or home; therefore we are delighted to support this important campaign. Safe Drive Stay Alive is a unique initiative which really does highlight the importance of road safety to everyone.” Operations Manager at Mobil North Sea (an ExxonMobil subsidiary) Alistair Routledge, commented: "We feel very strongly about all aspects of safety and we are delighted to be involved in such a worthwhile safety campaign on Grampian's roads. “As a sponsor of this campaign from its inception, Mobil North Sea is very pleased with the launch of the fifth year of the programme which is to be presented to all senior school pupils in the area. “Once again congratulations to all those involved on a superb and very worthwhile event." Concert tickets for Simple Minds and Ronan Keating are up for grabs for completing a questionnaire in conjunction with Northsound radio, so tune in for details or visit www.northsound1.com The results of the research will help the team behind Safe Drive Stay Alive learn more about young people's views on driving, so those getting involved will be helping save lives too. Safe Drive Stay Alive is a four-day event and school pupils in S5 from Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray will attend the show at the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen from Tuesday, November 3 until Friday, November 6. The evening session is free and opens on Wednesday, November 4 from 7.00pm.
