Car safety ads

[insane]

Its onr thing if you want to be a fool and risk your own life but its not fair to risk a childs life. Have seen a lot of that lately

Do any of them actually help change your mind while driving, or is it just shock value for the sake of looking busy? I'm starting to get a little pissed off with ad after ad of savage looking young people dying and screaming and getting generally mangled horribly in ridiculous car accidents while their parents grieve, followed by the wheelchair shot. Is there any fucking need for it? Can you really stop car accidents by portraying them graphically? Or is it time to start finding them funny because there's really nothing else to do?
Rant over, back to the match,.

I think that the corrent advert is quite good - and i'd still give IT to your wan even when she is in the wheelchair!

however what the advert fails to point out is that the person responsible for the accident is the owner of the dog htey are the one liable - if the young fella tracked down the dog and its owners they'd be the ones in court not him, also he swerved - this is down to lack of education - you are never supposed to try to avoid small animals in the road. - but they seem to have ignored these facts and decided to blame your man instead - typical

The ads are getting more graphic and the number of accidents/road deaths are still going up so people cant be taking that much notice.

No there not, what kinda ill informed guff is that?

See it every day of the week.. Since I've started driving there's been at least 9 people killed on the road that I travel to work on every day! Its senseless! Looks like the only way they're gonna learn is the hard way! Its the innocent people that get hurt I feel sorry for.

maybe they were killed trying to avoid ya?

glad some other sick basterd out there thinks like me.
them ads repulse me. They are propoganda by insurance companies to make out they actually care about people. They dont.
Why the fuck the rac sponsors it is beyond me? I saw no one broken down in the ad.

Look at the money that ad cost to make. It must be close to a million i reckon.

Wouldnt it be far more effective if say a picture flashed up on screen of say "billy bottles" who was killed last year. as his mother tells us a story about how a great kid he was, how he loved gaa etc, have pictures of his life keep popping up....birth, school, sports, wedding whatever.......
Make it emotional. that would hit a spot with me. Id think if it was me....if it was my mam. The sadness.

i look at the current ad and think manafactured piece of fuckin shit. it annoys me. The redfm car adverts of people recalling crashes etc are far far far more effective.

Ireland is a nation unnaturally obsessed with accidents on the roads.

big time.....meself included. but im just obsessed with busting myths and hype.
radon gas kills more a year in ireland than the roads do.
radon gas can be detected, prevented and eliminated. you cant account for accidents, just reduce the chances of them.

if you polled a 1000 people on the street i reckon less than 5% would know about radon gas, less than 1% would know how to prevent it, and .000001% will have checked for it.

Well if the ads are so gory that people can't stomach to watch them then whats the point? The boy racers are still gonna tear up the road and put people in danger. I can't see a gory advert changing that one bit!

what the fuck is a boy racer - can you show me the stats of exactly how many cars were crashed that meet you description of a boy racers car? you are blaming a group without any proof what so ever. In fact people who take an interest in cars can get cheaper insurance than the norm - im a member of two car clubs and as a result i can get a large chunk off my premium because "we are safer and more skilled drivers" - save your boy racer bullshit for someone else.

The main thing that gets me about these ads is I've seen them on fairly early in the day, when violence so graphic would not be allowed on tv shows at that time.

Its a crock and they are sick ads for kids to be seeing.

More people died as a result of suicide last year then as a result of car crashes.

How many commercials have you seen on TV advertising where to get help assistance and support for people who are considering suicide?

How much would it have cost to pay someone in social services, or mental health support to be on call for 24 hours a day in Wexford ?

And finally, that commercial looks more like an advert for the need for Electronic Stability Programmes to be fitted as standard to all cars then an advert about road safety.

If ESP was fitted to that Honda, then the accident would probably never have happened.
