Road crashes are the biggest killer of young people. In 2009, 11 young people were killed and 125 more were seriously injured every week in Great Britain.

In response, Brake has chosen "2young2die" as the theme of Road Safety Week 2011, which is organised by the road safety charity and open to organisations and individuals to get involved in.

People taking part in the week can choose to run an educational or campaign event on this theme, or on a different theme of their choice. Brake is also urging people to consider fundraising for the charity during the week.

Interested parties are asked to visit www.roadsafetyweek.org.uk for tips and ideas on getting involved and to complete an online form telling the charity your plans for the week.
