Sarah Flemming (Miss Wales 2006) has already been using her fame to promote road safety, by launching the Pass Plus Cymru scheme to young drivers right across her home country of Wales.

Safety campaign
What do you get if you let a group of media students and young drivers lose on a project to create a series of road safety campaigns aimed at their peer group? Well that’s exactly what we at FirstCar Magazine wanted to find out! more

Dear Reader,
Thanks for picking up this copy of FirstCar Magazine for young drivers! When you’ve had a read through, please turn to page 26 and tell us what you think – you could win yourself a free car and insurance for 12 months!

As you probably know, we at FirstCar Mag are always trying to come up with new ways of getting important road safety messages across to young drivers. And believe me, it’s no easy task – although road safety is something all young drivers should take seriously, it’s not seen as being very cool. So, we’ve got the challenge of making safe driving appealing to young drivers…

Now at 22 I’m getting on a bit, so we decided to recruit a group of young drivers under the age of 20 and let them loose on a double page spread. Their task was, “to make safe driving sexy!” Go on, have a flick to pages 24 & 25 and see how they’ve done!
Drive safe, Ed.
