Manpreet Darroch began his road safety journey at the age of 18 when we was a member of the United Kingdom Youth Parliament. In 2007, Manpreet attended the first United Nations World Youth Assembly for Road Safety hosted by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Economic Commission, representing the United Kingdom.

Manpreet says that the event 'changed his life' and really highlighted the issue of road safety as the most important health concern to young people in our modern world. On returning from the Assembly, Manpreet set up a national youth road safety campaign called 'Tune into Traffic' and was supported by Channel 4, a mainstream TV channel in the UK to shoot a 30 minute documentary about road safety and young people.

After the success of this documentary, Manpreet went on to establish a range of tools to influence young people including online viral videos about road safety, leaflets, posters and has developed and delivered road safety workshops in schools in the UK. The campaign currently focuses on the dangers of new technology on the road such as mp3 players, mobile phones and handheld gadgets.

Manpreet is also the official YOURS Delegate for the United Kingdom and has worked closely with YOURS on the World Crossing Campaign and other media projects.  Manpreet has also represented YOURS in Tunisia at the 7^th International Road Safety Festival, at the 75^th RoSPA Congress in the UK and at the National Conference on Young People and Road Safety in Portugal.
