Wasted Lives

Amazing news! SafeDrive StayAlive sessions have now been delivered to a grand total of over 25,000...twenty five thousand young people!!! The #SafeDriveLancs team is one amazing group of people making a massive difference to safety on Lancashire's roads 👍 Thank you so much all

@WastedLivesUk Safe drive stay alive was a very big eye opener to us individuals on the impact of dangerous driving. The services spoke to us about their experiences and to say the least it was an emotional experience. #safedrivestalive

Thank you for coming to our college! really opened my eyes to the possibilities and the harsh reality of many things to do with driving, the firemans story was very touching to me personally. Keep at it and #SafeDriveLancs @WastedLivesUk <3

@WastedLivesUk #SafeDriveLancs came to our college today, really informative and we heard some moving stories

@hbt_hairdresser Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found it useful #StaySafe

*Do you work with learners aged 16-24?* We've not been able to run our SafeDrive StayAlive sessions as normal so we have a free online film of a session you can watch with your groups. Email info@wastedlives.co.uk to find out more. @LancsRoadPolice @NWAmbulance @LancashireFRS

UPDATE: there has been a further 1,149 detected speed offences between 12-17 May. These cameras are enforcing. They're there for everyone's safety. Please slow down.

Large vehicles often have HUGE areas where the driver cannot see clearly. The driver of this fire engine cannot see any of the people in our image. Road users should be aware of this and act safety - NEVER undertake. Thanks to @lancashirefrs for their help 🙂 #OperationClosePass

Know what to do if you break down???...

Yesterday one of our Safety Camera Vans enfored the M6 when it detected a vehicle travelling at 128mph. The roads maybe quieter but this is unacceptable. Please think of the emergency services and the strain it would put on them in the event of a collision at these kind of speeds

Driver stopped due to not wearing a seatbelt. They appeared a little sheepish when providing licence details and turned out they were disqualified. They were disappointed when the car was seized as thought their partner could just pick it up later... #T2TacOps #OpMantaRay

Single vehicle Slyne Road,Torrisholme today. Driver lost control on sheet ice causing Honda to come to rest on its side!!! Back injury to driver taken to RPH. Thanks to all services for their help. @LancashireFRS @NWAmbulance @NWAirAmbulance #T1TacOps & I.R. Colleagues. 2076.

New driver who has been caught speeding previously gets spotted speeding yet again but drives off and fails to stop for police fearing he may lose his licence of stopped. Speeding was the last of his issues when he provided a positive drugs test! #Fatal5 #SCcar7 #T2TacOps

Megan Byrne died aged just 22 on the Grane Road earlier this year. Her family are urging all road users to ensure their tyres are safe. Check them once a week, every week. You can read Megan's story here: orlo.uk/XqQel #RoadSafetyWeek2020 @BrakeCharity @Tyresafe

Our SafeDrive StayAlive initiative is 5 years old today! It's changed a bit since then. In that time we've delivered to thousands of young people across Lancashire (and Manchester and Cumbria). Stay safe out there #SafeDriveLancs #ThrowbackThursday

Our yellow camera (Barkerhouse Rd, Nelson) detected SAME VEHICLE THREE TIMES travelling at 60mph, 53mph & 57mph. That will be an interesting one to explain in court. Top tip - roads with street lights close together is usually 30mph unless displayed otherwise! #SlowDown

Have you seen this? 360 film for young riders. #StreetSpirit youtu.be/St5T1IuqWwQ

Watch your speed if you're out this weekend (and every day), consequences can be life changing #SlowDownSaveLives youtube.com/watch?v=w_i_00… #TakeExtraCare
