WARNING Before clicking on this link there are some really graphic scenes.
Anyways someone sent me this link and it made me wonder whether if our ads were as graphic as this would we have a lower road toll? Do these ads actually effect people to not want to speed/drink drive/get in a car without putting on a seatbelt? http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/11/video-australian-transport-accident-commission-celebrates-20-ye/#continued- - http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/11/video-australian-transport-accident-commission-celebrates-20-ye/#continued- ETA: Forgot link... duh baby brain -------------

Oh my flippin lordy   Very graphic. But they need to be in my opinion. We havent seen that one being played yet but thats a Victorian one so probably wont here in Brissy.
The sad thing about it is people are still drink driving and its not themselves their killing!! Here in Brisbane they did a blitz on Friday night and took 71 drivers off the road for drink driving and one was a taxi driver WITH a passenger in the car  Makes me so angry!!! ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

WOW! That video clip definitely effected me! Once the crashes started happening I started crying and didn't stop til the ad finished. I definitely think they should have ads like that in N.Z.
I mean the fact is, that may have all been acting, but at the end of the day, that kind of thing does happen a lot. What I think sucks is with regards to all road safety ads, whether it be drink driving, speeding, not wearing seatbelts or intersections, some people still don't seem to be affected by them. It's like some people are so arrogant and naive that they think that will never happen to them. I'm totally disgusted when I see a whole bunch of people and even worse people with children not wearing seatbelts and I look at people speeding in 50 km areas or just tail-gating or even overtaking and think, why?! (well actually people speeding rule at all bothers me) If you are running late it's your fault, next time leave earlier, instead of potentially putting others at risk. As for intersections, well don't even get me started. I just hate how people make up there own rules and make stupid, dangerous decisions. Will these people even learn?! I think not. And it shouldn't take something tragic happening to teach them. -------------

| What an impact. I think the scenes that are the most graphic are what make the difference - like seeing the young boy go under the car. Or where the driver's attention lapses and he smashes into the two old people by the parked car.... I'm still crying, and think it's as much pressure to take a cab or stay the night from your peers that helps lower the toll. |

Very graphic but it got the point across to me, although I am a very carefull driver just seeing other idiots out there. If someone drunk killed anyone in my family I wouldnt be able to hold back the anger, I just dont know what I would do.
I just about cried especially when the little boy got hit by the car. Let us hope we can get the message through to people and put these ads on the tv in NZ. Drink drivers should be penalised alot harsher in NZ some only get their licence taken away for 6 months, it should be 1 year get tougher NZ. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
