STUDENTS from Okehampton College were recently given a presentation from a representative of the Driving Standards Agency on road safety, which highlighted the dangers of speeding, drink driving and driving under the influence of drugs.

The year 12 students were shown footage of road traffic accidents in order to demonstrate the importance of driving safely.

The demonstration was given at a time when many of the sixth form students had been learning to drive. Students were able to ask any questions and were also given advice on the steps to take when learning to drive.
