Making road safety cool
Sarah has certainly been busy
since becoming Miss Wales in July. She recently helped to
launch a major road safety campaign after it was revealed
a third of all those killed or seriously injured on Welsh
roads in the last 10 years were under 25.

Plus Cymru aims to equip 17-25-years-olds with advanced
driving skills in hazard anticipation, motorway driving, all-weather
driving and much more. Those who complete the one-day course
will be eligible for a discount on their car insurance.
Sarah, who has just turned 17, will
be learning to drive soon, she has already experienced first
hand the heart-ache road traffic collisions can cause:"A
friend recently passed his driving test and was nearly killed
in a head-on crash soon after. He’s recovering but he’s
got metal pins in his legs,” she explained.
"I think PPC is a cool idea because
it doesn’t preach to young people but involves them
in a fun and practical way. It’s a great idea to take
extra training after you’ve passed your test. I will
definitely be doing the course when I’m eligible and
I would encourage others to do the same."
