Confronting but true Road Safety advertisment

They should screen it before any new action movie at the Cinema that the targeted audience would watch. Something like a new Fast & Furious.

I think your idea is noble, but the target audience of a "Fast and Furious" type movie would have forgotten the message by the end of the movie!!!:)

Same thing happens in WA , a lot of trucks here will tailgate you at 110KM/H ( GPS ), and try to bluff you into going faster , I am getting to the stage now that if I notice a truck catching up to me at the speed limit I will get off the road and let them go for their coit , its not worth the agro of having one of these boneheads sitting on your arse . So much for these speed jocky,s trucks being ltd to 100Km/h .

A couple of years ago I was driving to Sydney on the F3 (now called the M1) and as I entered the freeway a semi-trailor went screaming past. I was curious as to his speed and I reached 130kph:o and he was still leaving me in his wake. I gave up and went back to the posted speed limit of 110kph.Yep, so much for speed limiting heavy vehicles. Speed limiters should be sealed so they can't be manipulated.

Lets just get the bloke out in front with the red flag. End of problem :p

Down here in Vic this would make the pedestrian council happy. The way they are pushing to further lower limits(there has been a push for 50 kay zones to be lowered to 40) they may as well go back to the red flag.

Beautifully produced advertisement I must say (just found out my cousin was production manager - that's why she spent 3 weeks in NZ).

I reckon it's great that it's all blokes in the ad. Shows blokes can make mistakes, shows blokes may not be able to react in time to avoid a crash, and that it's a boy and his dad really pulls at my heart.

If you're going faster there will be greater energy in the collision and you and others will more more messed up. (I tried for a long time to argue the 'if I was going faster I'd have missed the accident but it doesn't stack up).
