'Connor'

'Connor'

Name: 'Connor'
Age: 18
Year of the Fix: 2017
Location: Limavady, County Londonderry
Campaign: To show the dangers of joy riding

Since I was 13 years old, up until February last year, I was regularly taking cars from both my parents without their consent and driving them around the countryside.

 

I was only caught when I crashed my dad’s car, and the result was that I spent four months in Juvenile Detention. 

 

I've created a poster to warn people off driving illegally, particularly when they’re underage.
