Just a thought but i wounder why they don't make a add for motorcycle's something like watch out for motorcycle's or think twice think bike e.t.c mayby that will make drivers and predestrians think not just about cars.

There used to be an ad on UK TV where a cager doesn't look properly and pulls into the path of a biker who then slams into the side of the car and flys over the roof. The closing scene has the bikeer lying motionless on the road, eyes staring with thick dark blood oozing out his ears and nose.
It put the shits up me every time I saw it but didn't stop the dumb blond in the MX3 pulling a U turn in front of me one moring on the way to work

Think Once.

Think Twice.

Think BIKE.

I used to like the bit where he then smashed a hammer in to a tomato. Not sure what it meant, but it looked cool.

Because that makes too much sense. If people on bikes stop crashing then how can they possibly justify our acc levy increase??

It meant you can't hammer a nail in with a tomato.

I used to enjoy the ads when that nice Mr Brock gave us advise on how to be better drivers.
Currently I get a bit sick of the lowbrow shock type ads.

Yes I'm a shit driver
If you get pissed up your chance of crashing increases and if you're travelling faster there is more energy to dissapate and you could get (more) hurt.
I get it

Now how about some suggestions like 'Look in your mirror occasionally', ' Let the other car into the flow of traffic,' ' Don't follow so close that you'll rear end someone if they stop in a hurry,' 'Texting and driving makes you bad at both' (The sort of do this one)
And for sure - 'Are you sure there isn't a bike/Motorbike/child where you're about to put your car?'

Also a series saying things like 'If your tailpipe is over 2 1/2" you fuck your sister' and 'Loud pop off valves are for homosexuals'

Get the All Blacks to front them. There are in every other fucking ad.

Do the ads really target the intended audience though? I think its more likely the families of victims that feel the shock value

At the risk of repeating myself, this is the best I've seen so far.

There use to be one that was played occasionally, an old guy on a postie bike or similar wearing a vest riding down a main road and a women in a car pulling out in front of him. Haven;t seen it in ages though.
