Road deaths are a huge killer of young people. Every day on British roads, 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.
2young2die aims to stop the carnage by putting young people in the driving seat in spreading awareness about road safety. The competition asks young people to run an awareness raising campaign about road safety in the area, and do some fundraising at the same time. Winners will receive a selection of goodies, as well as an all expenses paid trip to Brake's annual reception at the houses of parliament in 2011.What you have to do
