It started off with an atractive young English woman doing a faux "MTV cribs" thing, Merc SL on the drive, big flashy house in L.A., "Well it all started for me when I was spotted in a shop..." or somesuch, she eagerly tells us.
Then it violently cuts to a grey day in London, with aforementioned girl, obviously before she was "spotted", in her school uniform, being run down by a Mundano.
So... if you get knocked down by a Mundano, you can claim enough off the insurance to get a Merc SL and a villa in LA?

I saw another one last night about drink-driving.
It was the one where a couple of lads are in a pub and one of them refuses a second drink as he is driving.
The start eyeing-up a beautiful blonde and then as she starts to walk over to the table the table shakes as if something has hit it and the lads all fly forward, while the blonde bounces off onto the bar rail and just lies there.
I guess the table's supposed to represent the car hitting the blonde after having 'too much' to drink.

up your life, while you sit in prison, and have the effect of a death on your mind for life.
The message - I think - is that the potential to cause death and injury by drink driving starts in the pub - before you get into your car to drive home and that even one drink could impair judgement.
After all one drink leads to two and then four. You can be over the limit before realising it, and even start to drive before the effect kicks in.
And too many think mixing booze with a fizzy drink is safe :rollyes:. The fizzy drink takes the alcohol though stomach wall and into blood stream quicker than you think!

Probably the most shocking ad ive seen was i think a NZ one, where a guy is driving along. Cuts to a scene in a garden where theres a baby playing on the lawn behind i high brick wall, about 7 feet high as i remember.
Cuts back to the driver not paying attention and pissing about with the radio when the girlfriend screams and a momentary glimpse of an about to be head-on with another car.
Cuts back to the baby in the garden scene....all serene and quiet and calm.
Then the wall explodes into the garden, with the car coming thru it wheels first, ie; on its side and barrel rolls over the baby...bricks and dust and debris everywhere.
Dont think it was ever shown over here as it really is quite a shocker.
But the message is clear: Pay Attention while driving!

I have seen this one too, it is a shocker, I think it was on 'Tarrant on TV' or similar.
I witnessed something very similar way back in 1984, my dad used to live in a village just south of Nottingham, as I came out of his house one evening having been visiting, I noticed two cars racing each other as they came into the village from an NSL. A Renault 5 was overtaking an Escort, for some reason the 5 lost it big time at huge speed, he rolled the car through a hedge and into the park, it went through the swings and hit the changing rooms for the footie pitch. Amazingly the driver got out and ran off. The Escort stopped, I ran over too, very apprehensively not knowing what to expect in the vicinity of the swings. Found a lady kneeling down in shock with a small boy lying at her feet, luckily they were both OK, missed by inches so she said.
By the time the Ambulance and Police arrived the lads in the Escort had rounded up their mate from the R5 and they had all come back to take their medicine and face the Police. They were very lucky no one was killed.

When I went to school we were taught the green cross code regularly. When I was out with my parents i always had to hold their hand and walk on the inside of the pavement. What we see today is kids trailing 30 yards behind their parents with the parent oblivious. Im sick of being told to slow down as I may kill someones kid that they obviously love so much they cant be bothered to keep an eye on it. When are they going to take responsibility instead of it always being the motorist thats targetted?
