THE Safe Drive Stay Alive message took to the airwaves this week in a bid to raise awareness of budget cuts to the project.
Alan Faulds, from the Central Safe Drive group, spoke live on air with James Russell from Stirling City Radio on Monday afternoon.
They discussed the impact the show has had on an estimated 40,000 young people in the Forth Valley area over the last ten years and the concerns about whether the show will continue at all next year.
The radio station, which is situated inside the Stirling Arcade, has since pledged its support to the #KeepSafeDrive campaign.
James said: "I'll be really honest with you I was unaware of it until it was brought to my attention, but we're very-much focused on seeing if we can do something here at Stirling City Radio to help."
The DJ and station manager then asked about how those 4,000 young people tend to react when attending the event at the Macrobert Arts Centre each year.
Alan replied: "Some have heard about the show in the past, and the know it's an emotive show. But they are not prepared for it at all.
"They come in and we've got a DJ there and it's a bit of a disco atmosphere. They're really pumped up at this stage and then we hit them with this really hard road safety message.
"We have real incidents; we tend to wrap our young people in cotton wool these days and they don't get life experiences. We are saying to them: 'this is real life'.
"There are people who have been touched by a bereavement or have been seriously hurt and have had life-changing injuries and they come on stage and give their stories.
"Young people see that it's people their age; we have one lad called David Galloway who was 17 when he had his accident and he is wheelchair-bound forever now.
"And I'm not ashamed to say it. Even after ten years these stories still affect me. The stories bring me to tears."
James then added: "We'd be more than glad to get in involved. I personally have signed your petition already and we 're going to put the link up on our Facebook page and we will definitely support what you're doing."
