WEST DORSET: Dorset Fire and Rescue Service launches a new road safety initiative called The Honest Truth at its Poundbury headquarters on Tuesday.

Dorset RoadSafe, councillors and driving instructors have been invited to attend to try out the initiative.

The Honest Truth is aimed at young drivers and designed to cut serious injuries and deaths on the roads.

Kate Underhill, road safety manager at Dorset Fire and Rescue Service said: “The new international initiative was designed by the Devon Road Safety Partnership following the death of three young people.

“We have adopted it in Dorset.”
