Id like to see a nationwide competition that gives people the opportunity to make their own advertisement for road safety.
top five winners get their ads played a couple times on telly, and get a whole bunch of free driver training or petrol vouchers or sommat.
I've often thought a similar thing. But then the people who don't concentrate when on the road or think the road is purely for getting from A-B and have no interest in driving aren't going to notice anyway. And those who do, probably already know anyway.

But then I would get pedantic and want ads about the difference between a $80 RoadAngleGoodEx Tyre vs a $200 BridgeMicheRelliYear. But Mr. Everyday Numpty isn't going to spend $120 more, screw that. If you could show that in a 100-0 test the $120 saving meant you would have ploughed 5m through lil Timmy would it make a difference? (Linglong takes 5.56M to stop over Dunlop from 80kph to 0). Then again, Timmy shouldn't be playing in an 80kph zone.

Then this: Wet braking: "Linglong-shod Golf was still doing 27.8mph at the point where it had stopped on Contis…"

The compounding problem is that typically, the guy who has the cheap shitty tyres is the same guy who is so bored about driving that he's pulling out without looking properly anyway thinking about how nice his grass has grown.

But then it's the same story with everyone on the road. Those who care, pay attention to the bits that are important. Those who don't... well... don't.
