New safety campaign

Traffic is the single biggest cause of accidental death for 12- to16-year-olds. In 2007, 46 teens aged 12-16 were killed as pedestrians on Britain's roads along with 1,407 serious injuries and 6,013 slight injuries.

Six out of ten teens have either been in an accident or know someone at school who has been. Teens get distracted when they cross the road by talking and having fun with their friends, using their mobile phones, listening to music, or just thinking about something else.

The aim of the new campaign is to make teenagers aware of the dangers of not concentrating on what they are doing when they step off the pavement.
