Apparently the ASA have upheld a complaint against Transport for Lentilmunchers over an advert featuring the number of road traffic victims due to speeding. This ruling will be public tomorrow. Went straight to the window but no sign yet of jet propelled pork.

If you want to see jet propelled low flying pork have you considered coming to VMAX at Bruntingthorpe on the 31st October?

follow NEW ADJUDICATIONS PUBLISHED, then ADVERTISER NAME

Looks like the ASA got the first complaint spot on. The second one was weakly argued and I think a better approach would have been to accept that accidents fell by up to 30% at scam sites but to challenge whether the speed cameras caused the reduction as claimed in the ad. That would require control data from the SCP, which as we all know doesn't exist...
