The Metropolitan Fire Brigade has targeted Monash teenagers in an effort to reduce road fatalities and next week 100 students will attend the MFB 'Teens' program to learn about the consequences of irresponsible driving.

MFB station officer Paul Illman said about 350 P-plate drivers died on Australian roads each year and more than 5500 were seriously injured.

"This program is vital as young drivers - especially young males - are at such high risk of being involved in car crashes because they lack driving experience and adequate skills, and often take deliberate risks," he said.

The mock accident is a "graphic reality check" for young people.

Students from Brentwood, in Glen Waverley, helped write the script for the mock accident, which involves a car full of drunk teenagers hitting another car, killing one of the drivers instantly.

Mr Illman said the accident gave young people a visual perspective of what could happen if they made the wrong decisions.

"This is the harsh reality of what you could be involved in with regards to driving if you make silly choices."

Year 12 student Iain Johnson, who will take part in the "accident" re-enactment, said the program helped get the message out. "You don't realise at parties how stupid the whole situation is until you see it from a third-person perspective. People can now go to parties with this knowledge in their head."

Brentwood college year 12 co-ordinator, Joel Batalha, said it was vital to educate young people about safe driving. "The groups that see it are going onto their Ls."
