Thread: Confronting but true Road Safety advertisment

Not a bad ad. I like it.

Great ad, but we have oxygen bandits on the road, they wouldn't take note.
Last night going through Carrum downs, at a red light with 3 motor bikes at the lights facing red, 1 had no headlights, 2 of them were revvving the crap out of their engines then 2 took off through the red lights and speed off never to be seen again.
I reckon Frankston district Highway patrol should have a perminate unmarked cars stationed 24 /7 in that district, the revenue coffers would be full, and crush all these hoons cars and bikes.
That area is full of hoons and they will never learn.

Yep, it's a very confronting ad.

I've seen some criticism of the ad - the driver appears to be doing 107km/h, which we can probably assume is only 7 k's over the limit. If he was doing 100km/h, the accident probably would have happened anyway ...

Still, it's a very good ad IMO.

If he had been doing 110 it would not have happened either.

Good Adv, but as Roverlord says, the hoons would take no notice anyway.

Will have no impact whatsoever - only sensible drivers will take note not the target group.

Also the car was going too fast and many will say I don't drive like that, likewise others will say I never pull out in front of others so that doesn't apply to me. Also getting out of the car and confronting the other driver - irrespective of the tone of the discussion is now considered road rage and is now an offence in its own right in many jurisdictions.

Campaigns such as these make the pollies happy but research has shown they have no impact on drivers,

Not sure what the answer is though. I suspect it is better roads, better, safer cars etc as reflected in the lowering road toll. The toll is going down fro these reasons, despite worsening attitudes of drivers.

Another justification for revenue collecting ad,, speed had nothing to do with the crash, the dickhead that pulled into the line of traffic without thinking is the only cause of this accident, Regards Frank.

how so? Stationary cars seldom crash.
