    What are your thoughts on getting a road safety message across by sexualising it?

    Does the end justify the means?

    Edit: Can a mod embedd the video for me? Doesnt seem to work, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

    That works as well as any other "shock and awe" style ad we've seen, I suppose...

    The emergency services dont seem overly rushed in gettign to the girl. Lots of sauntering going on.:)

    That's what they get for having sex on the side of the road. All it takes is for one driver to to loose concentration and you'll be hit by a car.

    In Brazil there are hotels that you can rent by the half hour for that sort of stuff.

    This is the best safety ad I've seen in a while, it gets the point across as well as any of the 'shock' ads without going too far imo. Very cleverly done.

    Well, on a more serious note I suppose it could have some kinda good effect for road awareness.

    This is part 2 of the video - I wonder do they do anything like this here? this one is from the uk. I suppose it's a good way to get 16-19 year old lads watching a road safety video... catching them off guard ;) !
