Adult Passer By 

You were walking your dog along the road, you saw children playing with a

ball on the pavement. Then you heard a car approaching with loud music, it

seemed to be speeding. The ball went into the road, one child followed,

second child crossed the path of the on coming car, the car braked and

swerved to avoid the child and hit a parked car. The passenger went

through the windscreen. You picked up your mobile phone and called an

ambulance and the police. Child’s Friend 

You ran across the road to get your ball, leaving your friend on the other side. You heard the screech of a car braking quickly, a bang and turned

round. Your friend joined you. He/she seems to be shaking and is upset.

Passenger 

You were late for the dentist, your friend offered you a lift as it was only up the road you did not bother to put your

seat belt on. The last thing that you remember was hearing your favourite song on the radio, so you asked your friend to turn it up. Your face is now

bleeding, you are in the road and freezing cold even though it’s summer.

You are concussed so you do not remember the details.

Driver 

You were late to get your friend to the dentist, so you might have been going a

bit too fast. You looked down to change the radio, when you looked up; you saw a child in the road, so braked and swerved into a parked car. You are unhurt but shaken. Your friend went through the windscreen and is

obviously hurt.

Child You were playing with your friend by a busy road. You kicked the ball so your

friend went and got it. You followed your friend out into the road and you

didn’t see a car coming. Although you made it to the other side safely you were shaking and scared you were

going to be in trouble. You heard the car screech its brakes and hit a parked car. You have seen that someone is

hurt.
