Not a fun vid but appropriate for x-mas time!

This vid is pretty damn graphic but good for reminding us of the morons who still drink & drive
are still out there........
All youngsters should be made to watch this at licence time

Thanks for sharing that. What a reminder. That should be put on TV nation wide every night for the next 2 months.

Years ago I saw the fireman jemmy the doors open on a Morris 1100 (crossways engine) and pull a body out the front passenger seat onto a canvas. Burnt to a smithereen:(
That was the result of the drunk driver hitting a kerb, car taking off and into a lamp post and then bursting into flames when it hit the ground.
Driver got out but the passenger was trapped because the engine had pushed the bulkhead right back trapping his legs.
I drove home very slowly that night and found out a week later he was a lad I'd gone to school with.
Not nice and not something I want to see again.
Yes, it should be a part of licence testing that this is shown to kids especially, but they're not the only offenders as we know.

Thanks, unfortunately some people think it wont happen to them. Some times you dont even have to be doing the wrong thing. Two young women were killed between here and Orange a few weeks back. They were heading to sydney to pick up their parents who had been overseas for 6 months. The came around a bend and slid sideways into the oncoming lane on some oil and a hiace van t-boned them at 100km/h.

Its good to see the road toll coming down, but its still to high. That should be shown to school kid every week from year 9 upwards.

G'day Folks :)

I think that this type of advertisment and those of fatague should be mandatory along with driver education in ALL Australian high schools with practical lessons from year 11 (age 16) onwards.


BUT

Until the alcohol culture of "schoolies" and parents buying and supplying same there will still be road and general type trauma.

Yeah got that last night and did post it earlier as well, so may be a duplicate post and need merging.
Hopefully will make some take notice, but my fear is it wont.

Unfortunately there will always be morons on the road & the problem with that is they usually take out the innocent.
If these adds were to help save just one life then they have to be worth every cent.

That is absolutely brutal and would undoubtedly have the desired effect if shown to the right audience at the appropriate times. Unfortunately we know that many people will never get to see the full 5 minutes and worse still most people will adopt the approach of "it won't happen to me".
