Theatre in education Braking Point Year 12
In Lancashire, one in five casualties of all road traffic collisions are younger drivers aged 17-24, with males making up 65% of all of those killed or seriously injured. In 2024 there were 9 fatalities aged 16-20 across Lancashire and more than 80% were male. In the collisions they were involved in a further 12 young people were injured.
This autumn sees the return of 'Braking Point', following a successful pilot in 2024, it is an encapsulating performance delivered to year 12 students, aimed at young drivers in Lancashire.
Staying safe behind the wheel involves learning how to stay in control of yourself as well as your vehicle. By creating this awareness in young people, Braking Point is able to make a positive difference to young drivers and passenger behaviour.
Students investigate their own attitudes to personal safety and responsibility whenever they are in a vehicle as either a passenger or young driver. Engaging workshop techniques challenge preconceptions and develop solutions so that young people can make informed and sustainable decisions to positively change their behaviour and understand their responsibility to other road users and passengers.
Braking Point is delivered by Performance in Education and commissioned by Lancashire County Council Road Safety Team. For more information please email: roadsafetyeducation@lancashire.gov.uk
