Here in the UK it’s been road safety week and on British military bases overseas they have also been reminding people of the need to drive down the number of accidents.

At RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus they staged a realistic exercise to show the dangers of drink driving.

Figures show that military personnel are twice as likely to lose their life in a road accident than civilians.

In the UK nearly 2,000 people a year are killed on the roads and worldwide 1.2 million people are killed annually.
