Speeding ads and accidents ads on TV?

[WuZards-Eugene]

As long as morons and retards are given licences, there will always be morons and retards pulling out in front of us, other cars, trucks, buses, and of course, my favourite, those tiny we little things we keep forgetting about, TRAINS.

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.

I think there is to some sort of fund devleoped from the skinnings that ACC take from us - it supposed to fund things like the ads you suggest. I understand that biker groups like BRONZ will be consulted on the programme

No amount of TV ads will turn dangerous drivers into safe ones.

I agree - we need the adds on talk-back radio - that's where the knobs are

Geez, not sure if the current ad agency would do us any favours with a think bike campaign. The ad on at the moment with the guy swerving to avoid a cyclist is absolute bullshit. At 60kmh you hit the power pole, at 50kmh your still going to lose control & end up on the wrong side of the road. What kind of message is that supposed to send? Where is the safe driving message? Their eejits!

Is that the message you got? I thought it was always pass people you are stuck behind, thus he would have arrived earlier and neither the car or cyclist would have been there.

Ads that promote situational awareness and driving to the conditions rather than the arbitrary limits would be far better. Targeting speeding and drink driving creates complacency in those that don't. It very telling that TV reporters often seem surprised that people can crash without speeding or drinking.

I think the police should give tickets to everyone who does not stop at stops signs,
it seems you have to be young or driving a boy racer steriotyped car for them to make an effort to enforce the law.

Thats what grinds my gears ...today atleast.

Good call, but it has not worked for cyclists !! Adds for car drivers has not changed anything they are still out there killing themselves and others by the droves, Geezzz in the last few weeks in four accidents near on twenty or maybe plus, hurt in just four vehicles.

Would like to think it would work, but sadly it will not..

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

First, deep freeze the tomato.
