I didn't mean to kill you. I was driving too fast. I really miss you.

'For My Girlfriend' targets young male drivers, for example those aged between 17-24 years old, who are sadly over represented in the crash statistics. Tragically, there were a total of 72 KSIs (killed or seriously injured) for young people aged 17 - 24 in Cambridgeshire in 2008, and the majority of these were young male drivers. In addition, more girls die as passengers in cars.

Research into young drivers' attitudes and behaviour revealed that the prospect of killing or maiming someone they loved, such as their girlfriend, was a key issue that may produce a change of attitude towards driving too fast

"On Valentine's Night, the roses I bought for my girlfriend were red.

The ruby earrings I gave her were red.

The wine we drank at the restaurant was red.

The traffic light I went through afterwards was red.

The lorry that smashed into my girlfriend's side of the car was red.

The blood that poured out of her head as she died in the car next to me was red, was red, was red. (fading echo).

Let red be the colour of love, not death, this Valentine's day."

You wouldn't let any harm come to your girlfriend would you? You wouldn't even wanna think about losing her... But imagine if you took her life. Imagine trying to live with that. Don't be a wreckless driver with a passenger. Be safe on the roads. For my girlfriend.

"We were in love, right from the start.

My reckless driving, broke your heart.

I dreamt in time, you would become my wife.

With that high speed crash, I took your life.

For my girlfriend, who was so beautiful.

Tears and guilt, as today is your funeral."

"I Thought I would show off to my girlfriend, I Thought I could drive that fast, I Thought I should do it although she screamed, I Thought I could see the road was straight, I thought I should not have hit that tree, I thought I would do any thing for my girlfriend, I didnt think I would kill her.
I Thought you should learn from my mistake"

"We were laughing & joking as we left the party & climbed into the taxi we'd booked to take us home. She asked if I was going to buy her red roses for Valentines Day & I hugged her & smiled at her as I promised I would. She didn't know I was planning to ask her to marry me. We didn't see the car full of drunken youths as it ploughed into our taxi at speed....... I bought her a dozen red roses for Valentines day, as promised, & gently laid them on her coffin with a card that read 'For my girlfriend. My love. My life'"
