Young drivers in East Yorkshire are to experience a car crash in a driving simulator in a bid to reduce the number of fatalities on the county’s roads. Volunteers are invited to sit in a modified Vauxhall Astra, dubbed the iCar, to watch a film in which a driver and four passengers crash into a tree. The car is rigged with hydraulics to move in sync with the video. The project is the work of Safer Roads Humber, a partnership between police, councils and the Highways Agency. More
