Speed ad - Mistakes - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvLaTupw-hk[/media] God damm well done ad about speeding

new zealand always have great ads for this sort of stuff. speeding, drink driving, all that jazz.

Holy fuck that's a good ad

Wow pluck the heart strings why don't you :(

Watched it twice. Ads NEVER do that to me.

My shoulders tensed up when the cars impacted. When it comes to ads like these the UK has some pretty fucked up road safety adverts [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeUX6LABCEA[/media]

Nobody would drive over 100 kilometers per hour on that road unless they wanted to jump like the General Lee... [IMG]http://imageshack.com/a/img827/2193/8zj4.png[/IMG]

Nice ad and all but I don't really like how worded it at the end, it pretty much sounds like 'It doesn't matter what you do but if something goes wrong it is your fault', but then again it is an ad about speeding so it makes sense.

The message does have that whole "we've tried telling speeders they're in the wrong, we'll try a different tack" vibe about it It's not advocating speeding, it doesn't need to point out speeding is wrong - when a speeder is numb to that message something like this may actually hit home.

I see nothing wrong with speeding, but I can definitely understand and get behind the idea that other people might not expect me going faster than other cars and will pull out in front of me because they're bad at speed-measuring with their eyes. The winnipeg ad did nothing for me. The little girl ran out into the street without looking - this absolves the speeder completely. Bad parenting yo.

Here in NZ there seems to be an unwritten rule that the actual speed limit is 7 km over the speed limit. i.e if its 50 kph, you can go 57 kph. And I guess the police are getting pissed off about it.

Literally 30 for a reason, children don't have good attention span and they might not even know much about road safety. They teach you this over and over in driving school/lessons how can you be so dense.

I think we make the best ads of all, being able to give people a laugh out of something serious while keeping people interested.

How frank can I be about the statement I'm going to say? Well, you seem like the type of jackass who screams "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME" at the scene of a accident that you probably caused.

It can get pretty long and involves a lot of equations and video analysis.

Yes, because either your explanation will be entertainingly right, or entertainingly wrong.

Bad parenting yo.[/QUOTE] I don't understand this nonchalant attitude towards speeding It's all dependent on the road that you're on, no one goes down a road and thinks "Well the speed limit is 35 so that means I have to do 45" you just drive responsibly, speed isn't a factor. If you're on a road with multiple entrances and pedestrians and shit like that then slow your row, chief The only time I think speeding would be something that's nearly required is on highways, because highway speed limits are bullshit and the only people who follow them get pulled over for impeding the flow of traffic
