Teens learn lessons of speeding

MORE than 700 secondary school students have heard harrowing and graphic details of the consequences of dangerous driving as part of a cross-border initiative to target young male drivers.

In the border regions men aged between 17 and 24 years old are six times more likely to be involved in fatal and serious collisions involving speed.

After the road show a number of the girls said they would get their boyfriends to slow down.
