I guess it at least has some focus on good driving as opposed to the "no matter what happens, slow down!" dogma and bent statistics they usually spout, but with 11 dead over the weekend it certainly hasn't helped the road toll so far!

Apparently it is 12 dead as at 0600 today. Pretty awful stuff, but that advertisement made me laugh out loud at its stupidity.

At least some of the cops on the street agree with common sense...

At least the new ad focuses on something other than booze or speeding and tries to get the message across to know your own limitations when driving and drive within them. Don't see why this shouldn't be focussed at BOTH sexes though, especially since I think half of the fatal accidents at the weekend were caused by women.
