Visitors at the event will be able to take part for free in nearly 30 different demonstrations, games, quizzes and memorable experiences. There will be a vintage car exhibition. 

Youngsters will be able to have fun with simulators where they can drive in a safe environment, or see how alcohol affects driving and how difficult coordination is after its use. 

Visitors will see a live demonstration of how to defuse a traffic accident and how lives are saved by cutting vehicles, as well as extinguishing a car on fire.
