The adverts will be on the back of buses, in newspapers, on digital screens and on local radio.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Glasgow's Convenor for Neighbourhood Services and Assets, said:"I'm delighted that four Glasgow school pupils are starring in our road safety campaign, as speeding in residential areas and in the vicinity of schools is particularly worrying.

"Road safety is an issue for everyone whether pedestrians, cyclists or drivers, and inappropriate speed is a contributory factor in many accidents, not only in Glasgow, but countrywide."Cllr Kelly added:"The higher the speed, the higher the risk of death or serious injury and that's why it is vital that drivers obey the speed limit and drive to the conditions.

"Crucially, our adverts on the back of buses and on the radio can be seen and heard by motorists while they are at the wheel and hopefully that will prompt them to reduce their speed to protect lives."
