I’ll be saving that for others to see. Effective ad.
Thanks.

If the driver of the SUV punched the accelerator, he'd have made it.

I see too many people on the roads who make a stupid maneuver and then panic by hitting the brakes and stopping or slowing down in the middle of the intersection.

If you're gonna do it....DO IT and stuff your foot into it.

But you are right. Great ad. And chilling.

Here is the most horrific ad I have ever seen. It's a British ad about not driving while texting.

Caution: Very effective ad, but VERY disturbing.

I blame myself for clicking that link. But it ruined my weekend.

My 11yo daughter walked in just as I was starting that ad. She told me that one of her friends mom was texting and driving with her in the car. She will now never forget why that is a deadly idea. Why a person can’t pull over for a half a minute and text is beyond me, what could possibly be that important.

Just sent the link to my granddaughter (she’s 16, drives a Jeep), for sharing with her friends and family members. Very haunting video, especially the speedometer reading!

not very encouraging for politicians who like red light cameras, eh?

In days of yore I would make the occasional mistake driving, even once or twice driving through a red light. When that happened, I would look at the other drivers, shrug, and move on.

When someone in another car makes a daydreaming mistake that caused me to hit the brakes, my only thought is, "Hang the b#s*a%d!"

Remember when they used to play “horrific crash videos” in school, not any more it might traumatize the little darlings in school...

It’s New Zealand, the speedometer is in Kilometers per hours, so he’s going about 65 MPH.

They're driving on the wrong side of the road, of course there's going to be accidents!

I remember the movie “Signal 13” from high school in the early 60s

I just made my 16 year old sit and watch it. He’s had his license three weeks and is going out for the evening.

Perfect timing, Morgana, thanks.
