Cheshire Road Safety
On Thursday 11th December the Sixth Form were visited by Cheshire Road Safety Department and members of the Cheshire Fire Brigade to talk about the dangers of drink driving. Pupils talked with the fire officers about their experiences and students completed a series of tasks which demonstrated how impaired their vision and judgment can be after only a few drinks. Laurian Campbell is pictured trying to 'walk the line' with beer goggles on - his feet should be on the white line!! Fire officers then asked students to pick up a set of keys off the floor whilst wearing the goggles, which left many students scrabbling around on the floor or groping in thin air.
Also pictured are Emily Dyer and Rosa Palmieri with members of the Cheshire Road Safety team. We hope to encourage all our students to never drink and drive (including the morning after) and not to get in cars with people who have been drinking. A big thank you to the team from Cheshire Road Safety and to the fire officers who unfortunately had to leave early due to a 999 call
