Mechanimals

Introducing Mechanimals

Collisions on our roads remain one of the main causes of accidental deaths among children and young people in Scotland.

Our new Secondary Resource, Mechanimals, has been developed to help equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to make positive choices on and around our roads.
