Safe Driving ad

Sobanek

I remember there was a safe driving ad about a year ago on TV. I remember only one scene from it - it was Gardai knocking onto someone's door with a subtitle: "Who's going to break the news?"

Anyone has a link for it?

Do you believe that problematic passengers should be punished as drivers who take their attention from the road who cause accidents with driving without due care?


I am have seen over the years I see girlfriends/wifes/partners shouting at their other half while he is driving.
I have seeing this articles and have on a numerous occasions seen women passenger distracting the driver, fighting in the car is one such situations among others that causes accidents.

Should the Government put in road traffic laws punish passengers who deliberately distract the drivers in the vehicle that they are in who risk their own lives as well as the divers, other passengers and to other road users?
I believe those passengers should be punished just like drunk/drug drivers or drivers who are know careless or dangerous drivers when they are caught.

If onus should be taken upon the passengers to behave and choose their drivers wisely, it will reduce car accidents/deaths.
I also believe adult (over 18) passengers should be punished with penalty points and fines if they get into a car with a known drunk driver or anyone who have taken drugs and get behind the wheel.

They the careless adult passengers risks their own live along with to other road users when they do not act. I found that women where trying to get me or my friends to pull the hand break when driving down the road or drive them home when I or my friends have drink taken and acknowledge we were beyond the drink driving limit. When we refuse, the bitch and they degrades us and throwing insults.

I see too many passengers who know the driver is above the drive drive limit and they should be punished as the driver when they are in the same vehicle, unless they are unconscious or medically incapacitated or kidnapped.

If adult passengers who know and get into a vehicle with drivers who drive dangerously or know the driver is taken drugs/alcohol should be punished.

If Adult passengers know they will be punished, I believe especially at weekends they will be less serious accidents and deaths, especially when they know they will be punished along with the drivers who breach road traffic laws.

If passengers ask drivers who knowingly break the Road traffic laws who refuse to correct their driving behaviour can ask for the vehicle to stop to let them out, if the driver refused at the earliest safest place on the road to let out their passenger/s, then most people have mobile phones can call the Gardai for help for driver who then would be falsely imprisoning their passengers. Those without mobile phones can get still call the gardai for two serious offences: False imprisonment and careless/dangerous driving.

What do you believe? What recommendations do you have to reduce road deaths?

Why on earth would you resurrect this of all threads to post that? Post a new thread.
