Bloody confronting, compulsory viewing for anyone heading on a long drive over the christmas/new year period.

The government would never have the guts to put that on tv.

How stupid can you be? Be responsible, and hide your keys/put them where your children can't get to them, and lock the door to your room! People complain because they can. I reckon the link you posted had shocking examples, showing people in absolute pain. TAC commercials just don't do anything anymore. It's ho-hum.

apart from the australian segment at the end that isnt so confronting, and perhaps the ghost part too. the whole thing should be on TV.
unfortunately some tools beyond help would mock the ad, learn nothing and probably find themselves in one of those situations before long anyway.

that needs to be the opening vid when giving lectures at schools. before the guy even talks to them. im sure you'd have their attention when they saw that.
they would never show it here tho. it shows that not just speeding can kill people. dangerous driving, being silly, stupid things can kill Last edited by ltd_on20s; 23-12-2008 at 02:23 AM. |

The ridiculously overbearing cheesy pop ballad destroyed the effect that clip was going for. For the best shock value the clips only need the sounds of what actually occurs, adds to the realism and impact.
Very well done clips though, they bring together realistic and common situations where things can go seriously wrong. EDIT: Ok the ghost one and couple pinned together one came off as a bit too much (not as in confronting).

The first one is a good one, who hasn't checked out hottie for a bit longer than they should of.
The 2nd & 3rd clips are old NZ ads. The transit van one was good to. |

I haven't seen this before. It is very sobering, especially after a fatal accident on a road on the weekend that I passed through no more than 15 mins before, and which I travelled about 20 times in the last week (Woronora bridge approach). Take care on the roads this Christmas and have a safe (and merry) one.

I think having the soundtrack works better - the underlying tone/lyrics of the song play consistently to the visuals.
Plus, think of the memory association the viewer has the next time they hear the song being played - it'll remind them of the clip. To me that resonates better than just using the real sounds. |

Its quite a comfronting vid for sure, definatly highlights how something that may seem like a smaller danger can often end up horrific.

Jesus. That should be on tv right now. The do-gooders can suck a hard one. People need to see that, regardless if its too "full on" for free to air.

trouble is the country is full of do gooders . The ad is really powerful and worked because had me thinking about it when i was showing off the ute to a mate today.
The only let down is the aussie ad that comes last i think. You know the one about the little johnsons. |

The problem is that kind of advertising will only sink into and impact the people who probably least need it: i.e people who probably already drive sensibly and safely....
People who think "it won't happen to me" or are "expert drivers" won't see it as relevant, they'll block it out or just dismiss it.... Or they just won't see it from the maccas car park, or while practicing their driving on the XBox....

Screw all this shouldn't be shown nonsense. People should just cut the crap about "too graphic". What would people prefer? Watch it on TV and be a bit upset - upset enough to modify behaviour, or not see it on tv and live it for real? What is worse? I know I am largely preaching the converted here, but this is not the only spot I get on my soapbox either.
I suppose I am a bit biased as the lives of my wife and I will be forever affected by the effects of road trauma. That trauma did drastically change my driving to the point of my near pedantisism about safe driving now (while continuing to be an enthusiast all the same - the two are NOT mutually exclusive, despite what some think). But seeing this when I was a new driver would have had a big impact. But it is exactly like 4V says, there are some people who will never take notice. However those of us (hopefully the majority) who generally have some concept of their own and others' mortality who can get a bit carried away every now and again (rarely, but sometimes guilty here myself) will take notice.

These type of ad's would work best during a theory class for teens getting their license. They may be confronting, but so are the realties of life and road trauma.
Those that complain about these ad's, are in fact doing more harm by restricting the awareness that these ad's bring. |

We have MA15+ movies with shootouts and blood going all over the place and people "dying", then at 12AM all those stupid porn ads come on with skimpy dressed women dancing and Paris Hilton giving herself some with her hand but nooo we can't have TV ads with any 'violence' at all. Niggah please.

Wow. That kind of footage really shows how vulnerable we
all are. I regularly drive long distance's for work and see many accidents. The most recent i had to pull over and re-compose myself before i continued on. Please be careful out there, something like this could easily happen to anyone in the blink of an eye. I have never been a "hoon" for choice of words, but i have certainly changed my driving style the older i get. The only time i drive i have work mates or Family in my car so not only do i have to drive to save myself, i must, and do, drive to save other's. There are so many driver's out there who should not have a licence. Most probably don't anyway. Take care out there guys. Adam.

That should definately be shown on prime time telly. But, as others have said, cut the ghost bit (Ifound it a bit cheesy) and the last aussie one with the pinky finger bit. That bit made me chuckle. Sorta lessens the severity of the other stuff
