Favourite driving campaign adverts

Flynn · March 7th, 2008, 02:31 PM

OKay, I am not fond of driving campaign adverts as you might realise from the other thread, but as we are bombarded with them left right and center you have to learn to enjoy them in the "wrong" way by watching people getting pwnt! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Below are two of my favourites:

General safe driving advert:

+ YouTube Video

Anti alcohol driving advert:

my current theory is that the health and safety offices are actually filled with pervs obsessed with snuff films. Prove me wrong, and i'll give you a E-dollar.

I just don't like those adverts because they don't at all live in the real world, similar to the anti-drug adverts we have in the U.S.

First one had me wondering what was going on at first, but then the driving got me thinking something was going to happen. Both get your attention quickly when the get to the point, I think those type of commercials are great ideas.

so you like anti-speed propaganda?

Hidden_Hunter · March 8th, 2008, 08:05 AM

ours just seem to show dead people lying all over the road and generalize what caused it.

NSW is even worse though, they have an anti-speeding ad that basically says people who speed have small dicks

WellsieTRD · March 8th, 2008, 10:49 AM

Yeah we have that one in Qld as well

VillageIdiot · March 8th, 2008, 11:07 AM

that one's kinda funny, my mum does the pinky thing to skylines with 5" exhausts now

Yes I have seen that one, infact it was on the news awhile ago. So typically Aussie images/smilies/lol.gif

The first one has a cool song in it and a car speeding on a road. If anything that made me wanna go burn some petrol images/smilies/wink.gif

EDIT: Woohoo. I failed at reading the topic correctly. Going to edit the rest out now.

Think your missed the topic there JakeRadden talking about PSA's

If someone could find the anti drink driving one where the car is filling up with beer, martinis, and wine. Just something funny when that cop opens the door and the red wine pours out like the blood scene from The Shining

Speedtouch · March 8th, 2008, 11:56 PM

That first one was awesome!

+ YouTube Video

Finally one with a proper crash, not a car being dragged down a small bank slowly so that the health and safety people were happy. From NZ.

+ YouTube Video

I've always liked this one. Its very unexpected when you first see it. From the UK.

Of course I don't images/smilies/tongue.gif

I haven't seen the shining, but that would be a very funny scene images/smilies/lol.gif

Also buddy, slightly off topic here, your avatar is most sinister. And, how dare you deface our queen?! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I found this one to be quite powerful.

prizrak · March 10th, 2008, 03:28 PM

Moral of the story is, don't drive a Civic fast images/smilies/smile.gif

sonza68 · March 10th, 2008, 03:43 PM

Or, don't swerve for dogs.

Jesus, that was more like snuff than a safe driving campaign images/smilies/blink.gif

I think I heard Scottish accents in that but for some reason I thought it was Aussie before. It was extremely brutal, I haven't seen that one on telly, maybe it is only shown in Scotland? Why the hell knows, who the hell cars. Anyway, who would swerve for a dog?

MattD1zzl3 · March 10th, 2008, 04:31 PM

Jesus, do you really have roads that small in scotland?
O.o you think they would have done more then pave over tiny medieval cart-paths.

Thank god for the american 12 lane freeway, i can drive fast all day without pinning touching young couples to walls.
