Complaints lodged over RSA's 'Crashed Lives’ TV advert. Was it too hard?

    Ten complaints received over ‘Crashed Lives’ TV advert, RSA says

    Apparently it's "unfair" to the unaccompanied learner driver responsible for the crash that resulted in the man's wife and daughter being killed, and some people in Kilworth, Cork, where both families are from, seem to be upset about its consequences on the learner driver.

    I think it's a powerful ad, as most of the RSA ads tend to be, and that it's not actually about that driver's stupidity/carelessness but rather using it as a plea for other drivers not to do the same. The 19/20 year old is also not named in it. Do you think it's too hard and personalised or not?
    There were three or four laws Susan Gleeson broke that day before she killed Louise and Geraldine.

    “Susan Gleeson and her father made a decision that day for her to drive unaccompanied. And that decision, by her father, cost Geraldine and Louise their lives, it made a widower out of me, and it made a criminal out of his own daughter.

    "The law applied to the Gleeson family the same as it applied to the Clancy family. If the Clancy family weren’t willing to allow their children drive unaccompanied, why were the Gleeson family doing it?” ('I don't feel sorry for killer driver')
