NZ road safety ads & videos (2014)

Anyone else seen that new ad on tv?

A driver going 108km/h heads towards a driver who stopped at a stop sign, then pulls in front of him. The cars pause and the drivers get out to talk etc.

Here's what pisses me off, the message of the ad is "sorry mate, I'm going to fast" and "it was a simple mistake". But regardless of whether he was going 80km/h or 120km/h the crash would have happened (they hit at very high speed by the looks of the ad). And if the driver wasn't required to stop at the stop sign, he would have easily got to his lane before the car hit him. So what this ad tells me is, if I come to a stand still at a stop sign or don't got 40km/h slower than the speed limit I will die? The only person who deserved to die in that scenario was the driver who pulled out, but he should have died before he could reproduce.

It's been discussed for a day or so already in the reduced speed tolerance thread

She's a long-un. I'd recommend a nice doob to accompany your read.

Crash could have been avoided at 120km/h & is far more likely to happen at 80km/h. Again "speeding" saves the day

It's a good add, the only thing wrong with it is the speedo shows 108 instead of 98.

We should be thankfull they didn't film it with a fireblade cresting the rise in third gear with the front wheel off the deck with an imperial speed in instead...
There all to arty and fake these new ads, this stuff however makes you realise how quick it all goes wrong and think a bit...

Sobering indeed. But a "tribute"??

So TV1 News tonight run a story on how wonderful the latest 'don't speed at 109kpm' add is with worldwide praise oh, happy, happy, joy, joy. The one where two cars crash at a T intersection. It appears both were doing, brace yourselves, 109kph and nearly destroyed planet earth in the process. I'm amazed the entire universe survived such excess. What a crock of shit, 109 kph so absolute mayhem, death and destruction followed.

LTSA Andy Full-of-Shit spokesperson should be charged with 3 decades of lying to the public. These over dramatized 'speed kills' propaganda adds piss me off. So had said driver been doing 103kpm (yeah, within the latest deemed safe tolerance) they would have all smiled at each other as they passed the intersection in total safety and later shared a laugh over a pleasant creaming soda milk shake, as Fonsy made funny jokes in the back ground with school girl Chicks and Richie finally gets laid.

I've had a gutsful of these PC perfect poofters telling us how evil we all are. Far more evil goings on happen every bloody day by people who actually deliberately intend to cause harm to others.

Tomorrow I am going to hit 110kph so all brace yourselves. The sun may go out, the earth crust might shatter, and even worse, Bruno Mars will probably release another crap whinging attempt at music.

Agreed, the ad is a cunt load of bollocks.

Do you really think the car that pulls out from the stop sign was doing 109kph?

And get onto the thread that already exist for this topic...

Hope it has better stunt co-ordination than the one with the intersection chocolate wheel - where the Jag t-bones a white car. That 'gag' (what the stuntmen call it) went wrong and put Stretch in hospital for a month.
