US television and the public seem to be WAY to sinsitive to such messages. Besides, the public is more interested in the Kardashian's and such.

This is the 20 year anniversary compilation of Australia's TAC add campaign. If is very moving to watch and done exceptionally well. Like I've told friends after seeing this, "If this doesn't stir some type of emotion deep inside, something is wrong"

https://youtu.be/Ud-p0jds3S4

Like I mentioned..........a very strong message.
AWESOME! I hope everyone on PPOT watches it. Sadly, some need to.

I can recall vividly my Mom's scream after the phone call that my brother had been killed in a car crash.

Yes, there have been times I shouldn't have driven. No, I don't do it anymore.

Not preaching, just that having a spouse and two kids that are asthmatic, kinda sensitive to such things.

God, I'm sorry you had to experience such a mammoth loss. I can not even imagine dealing with something like that. It wasn't my intent to open old wounds by posting that. The TAC covers nearly every aspect of safe driving. DUI/imparted driving is just a fraction of the campaign.

No worries. It was 41 years ago but now that I have kids it hits me differently when I think about it.
