new 'THINK' adverts

[bryan35]

Saw another new one last night.
It's a playback of a video from a mobile phone which ends in a kid walking into the road and getting flattened by a car.
The message was basically 'don't walk out into the road, or you might get flattened by a car' which is refreshing. Thought it was going to be 'speed kills' again.

There are some "Think" posters advising motorists and pedestrians to look out for each other which seems an altogether more sensible approach than painting drivers as serial killers. The advert you refer is shocking enough to make people think (sorry) about the dangerous environment that a road constitutes.....

Yup, even if it's the drivers fault in that case (lets just imagine it is for now), it still puts across the fact that it's in pedestrians interests to be extra vigilant.

In the end of the day, if your a pedestrian and get run over it doesn't matter if it's not your fault, your still bloody run over!!!

Best to be extra safe around roads full stop, both pedestrians and road users!
Glad that message is seeping through the rest of the anti-driver sentiment!

Maybe it should end with the words:



SH*T HAPPENS!!!.... So Don't do it!
