Brilliant ad, I wish the RSA would have the balls to put some of the Australian ads on over here. For some reason they're just more harrowing than the Irish ones.

I thought that was shít.

Considering the Irish/Northern Irish ones get used as examples of serious ones in the rest of the EU, I'm not sure they'd push the envelope that far yet...

Actually, as youtube isn't working here, I'm assuming this is a gory one, not an emotional mind-feck one? The emotional ones just don't work, really, as nobody gets drawn to looking at them usually.

Well if it came on the TV I would definitely have switched channel after about 30 seconds thinking it was a trailer for the sixth sense part II or something!
It's far too long IMO?
Anything that creates awareness for road safety is a good thing I just think this particular advert is pants!

It's a good add but I think it would have been a better shocker if, at the end, the guy passed the breathalyser and the slogan was "you don't have to be drunk to kill someone".


Edit: I'm referring to the first add.

I don't think these ads work at all.

If you look at all the high budget ads that have been shown over the last 10 years say, all they do is make an already p!ssed off motoring public think well that will never happen to me, particularly the ones aimed at the 17 to 25 year olds.

As for the drink drive ads, while some people may actually take heed of them, the majority of harden drink drivers won't give a toss about the ads, when it comes to preventing drink driving, enforcement is what is required.

It's actually easily done, just park a garda car outside of the pubs at closing time, only the really stupid drink drivers will try and drive away.

If anyone remembers the Jimmy Saville ads for seat belts, that were shown on BBC I think it was back in the seveties, now they were effective and very low budget.

Quite true. Most drink-drivers do it for the simple reason that they're confident of not being caught. And, let's face it, they're right.

Is it bad that my first thought for the Scottish ad was "I want that Golf"?

Cookie_Monster

that first ad is crap. goes on for so long you'd just get bored and switch over

the ones over here are much better, at least they are funny:)

Motorbike ad - I think that this one works very well - shows what could happen without the gore or sentiment. Would work for cars as well

Very good. Thing is it makes me want to get a bike, which kind of defeats the purpose, no?
