Middlesbrough College has been performing a play based on a horrific real-life story.
Middlesbrough Council's Road Safety Team got hundreds of students, some who are learning to drive and some who are newly qualified driver, the see the play called Pills, Thrills and Automobiles performed by the Ape Theatre Group.
The play is a documentary of four 18-year-olds who, after a weekend of drugs and sleep deprivation at a music festival, crashed in 1997. This caused the death of 2 of them. If a person is convicted of drug driving, the penalties include a minimum one-year driving ban, a fine of up to £5,000 and up to six months in prison.
Remember Drugs and Driving do not mix, to wait to learn the hard way, be responsible. Drugs also include over the counter medications and prescription drugs.
