Pay For A Cab Not A Coffin... 17th September 2008 A new initiative to cut the number of young adult deaths on Dorset's roads has been launched by firefighters. The scheme - called "I'd rather pay for a cab than a coffin" - works by getting parents and guardians to sign a pledge card. This card, handed to Bournemouth and Poole College students yesterday at the project's Lansdowne campus launch, is essentially a promise to taxi drivers that parents will pick up the fare should their children have no money for a cab. Dorset Fire and Rescue Service's Dave Prior came up with the scheme after speaking to young people at a community safety event earlier this year. He said: "I became concerned about the number of young people who accepted lifts home from people they knew had taken drugs or had consumed alcohol." Mr Prior said many young adults were taking the decision to get into cars, regardless of the condition of the driver, just to get home. Source; Daily Dorset Echo |

http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/displa ... _money.php It is easy to understand the drivers concerns. It would only take one parent to refuse to pay and you have a problem. |
