    LTSA intersection TV advertising campaign

    I had picked up my two kids around 3pm from school and was heading home yesterday (Monday 12/10/2009) and was coming around a corner in Takapuna, Auckland.

    Just before the corner were some high school kids holding up those wheel of fortune's like in the advertising campaign (death, serious accident, etc). Then right around the corner was a cop pulling people over in a coned off area.

    Don't know if he was doing random stops, or was pulling over targeted people. I only saw one person pulled over (looked like a 65 year old male).


    Interesting progression. Is this happening anywhere else in the country?

    Yeah, I saw the same thing over here in Glenfield way. This was going back a few months ago though. It was that big wheel of fortune sign with someone in a chair sitting next to it......... a few cops in uniform milling about looking very official.
    If it gets people to slow down or to think (something most cagers don't do enough of) its got to be a good thing.

    We need some of them in Christchurch - intersections are nuts here - I always wait a tad when the light changes to green before moving, half the time there is someone running a red.

    Every now and then there's the old feeling of 'shit I sneaked through that orange, maybe I could have stopped' but you check your mirror and there are two others behind you cruising through the red!

    I encountered one too.
    The wheel stopped on "Death".
    I'm a ghost now.
    There was absolutely nothing I could do about it - my fate was determined by random chance.
    No training or skill could have prevented this outcome

    The smartest thing to do is to distract someone in an intersection using wheel of fortune.....

    oh the irony.......
