NZTA pretty much ALWAYS get it wrong & not just their propaganda either...
But yes if you haven't noticed by now all the propaganda that come from them is filled with strawmans & red herrings, hell give them time & I'm sure they'll even throw godwin's law in for good measure "Nazi's used to speed, are you a Nazi. Slow Down"

With all the 57's being shown I thought it was an advert for baked beans.

We're focussing all wrong. In Raglan a few days ago, a car reverses out of a carpark... completely failing to check whether there was a car passing... there was (and it wasn't busy). Crunch, into the side of the station wagon leaving a scrape from behind left front wheel across the passenger door...

When drivers are that bad, is it really worth focussing on more complicated matters?

They are justifying a tax machine for outside every school, park, town centre, dairy and corner in NZ.

not one fuken bob the week on coro. Not one aucklander in their lane nor doing more than 50 nor using slow vehicle bays.
Not one fuken tourist that can drive gravel or corners.
I feel so safe

Same message as the previous ad where the guy pulls out in front of an oncoming car at an intersection.

The general tone seems to be pointing the blame at the driver who is a few k's over the speed limit rather than the one that is seemingly doing their best to remove themselves from the population, despite the fact that in both cases even at the speed limit there would be insufficient distance to stop.

Don't do retarded shit on the road, or you might end up dead seems more appropriate in both cases.

If speed is so dangerous and unwarranted? - why do police always use excessive speed with lights sirens etc blazing to travel to an emergency?

Less haste more speed is what they tell us but do the exact opposite themselves!

Just thinkin, just thinkin?

Often see them driving like nut cases doing U-turns etc and start wondering - was that all necessary? - was it actually required and fit behaviour?

Trouble is there is never any real way to know or do we even need to know - other than just thinkin about it at the time!

Well it does not endear

in the public perception - IMHO and from remarks heard or even overheard!

Too much TV perhaps!

That ad is wrong on so many levels.

Good to know it's no fault of my own if I run out in front of a car like a spastic and get hit though!

Nah, it's glowing numbers, think about it, none of the things in glowing numbers were hit in that video. It's a crystal clear message "if you want to cart dildos about in a gym bag, put glowing numbers on it otherwise they will be spread about the tarmac".
