Australian adverts are very hard hitting, shown on TV is the wrong place though.....

When I was at school we'd have police officers come in, talk about drink driving, using the phone whilst driving and see some really graphic stuff.

I mean the film fails, cos you turned away. Although on here it's probably preaching to the converted.

TBH it'd need to be played to a captive audience to have any effect. The ones who feel it's common sense are just going to click off it and do/watch something else whereas the ones who haven't got the sense would rather be elsewhere strapping fireworks to cats or fingering girls 5 years their junior in the back of their corsa.

I've got the sense, but I'd still rather be elsewhere

Makes a good point but way too long winded.

If they wanted this idea to work they'd be better off incorporating the storyline into something like Eastenders so people would watch it. Otherwise its badly acted by most and even if played to a classroom full of the right aged kids who are forced to watch it you can bet most would be slyly texting their mates and not watching the film

I found it on iPlayer earlier today, and watched all of it.

I suppose im the target audience... 18 years old, just passed my driving test, own a mobile phone, and have friends who ive seen texting in the car.
I think these sort of shock tactics are effective, and although i dont text and drive, i certainly wont ever consider it and i know that ill be giving any drivers plenty of grief if they use their phone and im a passenger.

Graphic.
Dont think the pregnant blond one though would have shagged the bloke in the chicken suit, she could do a lot better.

failed watchin it earlier got too bored. It needs to start with the crash IMO but when it gets going its horrid. I feel for the rents, they'd be in the dark just like all the other people abusing them but wouldnt be able to do anything other than keep quiet. Bloody rotten. Vert clear message.
