Road crashes are a huge killer of young people. 2young2die is Brake's campaign to help young people save their own lives on roads. All too often young people are killed or maimed in cars or on motorbikes due to speeding, drink and drug driving, using mobile phones while driving, or just not belting up. Young people on foot and bicycles also take risks that result in death and serious injury. Every day in Britain alone six young people aged 12-19 are killed or seriously hurt on foot or bicycles, and 19 young people under 25 are killed or seriously hurt in cars.
If you teach or work with young people, or you are a young person, you are at the heart of this campaign - use the links below to get saving lives.
