England taxi drivers to hand out free condoms

Don't leave the taxi without your condom. Taxi drivers in southeast England will be handing out free ones to late-night passengers as part of a sexual health project.

Some 60,000 condoms will be available during Trojan's "Safe Ride Home" scheme in conjunction with Brighton-based Radio Cabs after 10.30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Anyone who requests contraception will receive two condoms and a leaflet encouraging them to protect themselves against sexual diseases.
