Default Drinking and Driving

Just had an email sent to me at work that sends a pretty graphic anti drink driving message. With the festive season fast approaching, its quite relevant to many of us:

Great Aussie Ad Campaign!


This needs to passed around to every human being who has the keys to a vehicle and the capability of driving while under the influence with impaired judgement and the possibility of causing a life changing incident to happen to everyone he or she comes in contact with while in this condition.
This is perhaps one of the most intense commercials that I've ever seen and damn well made. I hope that by passing this along to others, that it will make a difference and if just one life is saved, it will all be worth the effort to simply hit "send" and maybe save a life today or tomorrow or in the future.. I think that Australia should be complemented on having the guts to "tell it like it is" and get this campaign out to all of it's licensed drivers and to air it on TV...it is very moving and very life like so it has a very strong impact this holiday season. Please pass it along to all of your friends and maybe you can be responsible for saving some lives. Wouldn't that be a great Christmas Present.
Check this ad from TAC Australia

Gripping.

Just a shame it's too long to air on TV but hopefully snippets of it get some airtime. Having said that, the truly selfish out there wouldn't bat an eyelid at the carnage

That's a good one for sure.

It's crazy how you can become complacent and not ever think about how much damage could be done every time you get behind the wheel, even when sober.

This whole clip should be shown on TV for sure.
I think the way to lower the number of people who drink-drive would be to have a round-the-clock fridays and saturdays public transport. It costs me $40 to go to Subiaco and back from Como in the cab.
Some people choose to drive as its cheaper but don't realize that it doesn't take much to lose concentration and do a terrible thing.

Far out, won't be able to listen to that song the same way.

I don't think people realise how much of a mess car accidents make...

Some of those moments in the video are fairly shocking, especially the motorcycle one, and the young guy stepping out of his car. Farrrk.

Here's an add they use in Europe somewhere, clicky. Same effect, pretty powerful.
