20 years of TAC advertising, Everybody Hurts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- On December 10th 1989 the first TAC commercial went to air. In that year there were 776 deaths on our roads, by 2008 that number had fallen to 303.
This five minute retrospective of road safety campaigns is a compilation of 20 year of TAC ads. The montage features iconic scenes and images from commercials that have helped change the way we drive, to the song Everybody Hurts by REM.
This TAC campaign is a chance to revisit some of the images that have been engraved on our memories, remember the many thousands of people who have been affected by road trauma and remind us all that for everyone's sake; please, drive safely.
There's no one someone won't miss.
Towards Zero is a TAC vision for a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.
It acknowledges that as humans, we make mistakes. But when those mistakes happen on our roads we come off second best, because our bodies aren't designed to absorb high impact speeds. They never have been and never will be.

It's ironic how American TV shows like Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, etc., and movies are loaded with graphic gore that Americans love, but somehow these TV commercials would be considered "too graphic" for American TV. It should be shown during the Super Bowl every year when 100 million Americans have their eyes glued to the TV screen!
***** Well, not ALL of us are :).
Justin C Not all, only 99.9% ;)
There's a reason tv shows denote fantasy violence (or any other kind of specific violence) in their ratings, and you gotta admit this kind of material airing right next to a my little pony commercial on daytime television would be incredibly inappropriate. The stuff that's shown on tv does cater to when certain ages are usually watching, it always has. that's why it's considered too graphic, not because of the content, but because it's a commercial that anyone can watch if it's in a particular time slot.
*****
Oh you're probably right. Americans are the only ones in the world who like those things. Typical liberal. Your opinion is a fact. smh.
i think people are more moved by these sort of ads with gore because it could realistically happen and i find that in fantasy/any made up story kind of set ups that the deaths don't take as large as an emotional toll as seeing things that could actually happen done by real people. Not to say that this is over the top or that this is unacceptable. This is one of the best ads i've seen to do with crashes. People need to be scared to take things seriously
I was an idiot as a 17 year old and sped like 3 times the speed limit on backroads for fun, and then I ended up causing an accident. No one was hurt (fortunately), but the officer made me take a 5 hour class on speeding. They ended it with showing this video. This was by far the most effective part of the class and the part I remember the most. I remember as soon as I left the class, I called my dad and told him I loved him.
Then we know it's effective and it works. Good in you mate, safe travels.
+David Felter Great to know that.
+David Felter I loathe people who threaten other people's lives in that way, but you are one of the few people who realises their mistakes. Really, well done to you mate, and have a happy and safe day.
You're right you are an idiot
I've never drove drunk but this video always makes me want to call my loved ones too.
I worked at the BC, Canada Police Academy and made sure every recruit and every field trainer watched this video. Such wonderful work by the Aussies. Fact: This video has saved many lives.
Former worker in bars here in BC they should be showing this in high schools as well.There are tons of beer cans in the ditch from drunks driving the highway by my house.We need more funding for RCMP highway patrols.Alcohol is a scourge.
& such wonderful song by r.e.m
God bless you
This ad makes me cry it’s so powerful
Yeah it did, before these ads were run here beginning in late 1980's the annual Victorian road toll was spiralling out of control. These ads were a very graphic and powerful deterrent which saved hundreds of lives and simply due to the impact of their content resulted in a lot of public discourse in public spaces and around the dinner table. The sad part is that due to the snowflakes these ads aren't permitted these days and the road toll here is climbing again. Stay safe and blessed there.
"He's only a little injured.
There's only a little bit of grief.
She's only a little dead.
I was only a little over(the alcohol limit)."
Best quote from a drunk driving ad, ever.
Only a little bit over? You bloody idiot.
@@brysonkemp1544 h-he was talking about the ad?
@@pr1mec0ntent71 yes
"Only a little bit over? You bloody idiot."
Best advert ever made. They are showing it in driving classes around the world, it's great it made an impact! -Sweden.
Alpha Numa Has it?
Reality check: If you're organizing a party, what is the first question you are likely to hear from participants? Answer: "Where da booze at?" (= Where is the alcohol)
*ironic slow clap*
Pavel Drotár I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, it has.
Alpha Numa yeah we seen this add in school (I'm live in Ireland)
Just saw it in drivers ed today in America.
We've been shown this ad in driving school too - Slovenia!
Don't EVER take this down. As a RN/Health Educator at the University of Rhode Island from 2000-2018, this was THE video to show my students, either 1:1 or classroom. It was also helpful with
the EMT training.
This is by far, the most powerful video I have seen concerning intoxicated driving. I'm a sixty year old man, and this film, along with a perfect choice of music, brought me to tears.
2manyspruces ooh yes I see cause a 60 year old man watches ownage pranks
Cow hhaah lmfao ya got a point
Me too. Every time.
@cow everyone is different mate
@@mattyLUFC Thanks for reminding us.
A mate of mine was riding his new bicycle through a green light at an intersection in Sweden. He was so excited about the new bike and getting out into nature. A man ran a red light and took him out. His wife is alone, he didn't attend his daughters wedding and will never know his grand children. Just one of many. Great video even if it put tears in my eyes.
I'm a 15 year old guy and I have seen this same video 5 times now but after seeing it in health class the other day I was bawling after class, nobody outside of my family has ever seen my cry in all my life I swear! But my uncle died a few monthes ago from a drunk driver and it hit me hard yesterday, but my teacher was very helpful so I bought her some cookies today. nothing has ever gotten to me like these videos can
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I'm a 17 year old guy and I have very strong emotions, which is why I also cried when I saw this video the first time because it really hit me with the graphic content of this commercial, even tough people feel extreme emotions sometimes as well.
8 years later and I’m crying with you bro 😭
Reading your comment 8 years on, I do hope that you're doing okay now.
Honey - what this video doesn't tell you is that each of the scenarios are taken from real incidents - which makes it hit harder. Remember your uncle and just don't drink drive. Much love and hugs from Australia.
Aussie government knows how to scare people straight.
Yesterday my class was watching commercials for drugs. we watched the Marijuana and ectasy adds but at the end of the class they showed us this one. before watching this our class was fine and talking about the side effects of the drugs we were learning about and the teacher suddenly asked us if we wanted to leave for the last Comercial. our class was really into these since we got to watch youtube which was banned in the school. none of us left. after watching the video some were crying and others were quiet shaken. the teacher told us that these adds are to scare people out of doing these things and i think it worked. im glad they showed it to our class.
-8th grade australia
I watch it every few months. It always makes me cry.
Me and my class watched it and out teacher said not to laugh and no one did but there was a bit of snoggering and giggling. Mind you I go to an all boys school
We watched it for grade 9 HPE unit about road saftey.
I still refuse to drive mate....scared shitless
i watched about 8 of them in a row in 1993. Same outcome. we drive safe.
I watch this video occasionally to scare me into not driving fast and to NEVER drink and drive. I even play this in the car so it reminds me of this video so I know to slow down to a safe speed. Thanks you, TAC. So much.
No matter how many times I watch this it still sends chills down my spine. TAC and the Government of Victoria, Australia - you've done an amazing job
well said👍👍👍
I’m 24 and currently in 911 driving school getting my drivers license. They showed this in class, with a bunch of teenagers, everyone was silent. Everyone was impacted. I tried my best to hold back tears but the graphic nature was TOUGH but NECESSARY for the message to be delivered
I recently lost my license due to drink driving. I thought I was fine, had had tea at a friends house and shared a bottle of wine. Be aware that drink driving does not necessarily mean you are struggling to stand up. I thought I was quite capable of driving had even been to supermarket. It was an eye opener and when I get my license back I will not drink anything if driving. Play it safe
Proud of U for owning your faults...own it and you've saved lives, yourself and others you may have took..."it's just a few drinks", is thin line between hell
That was hard to watch. And it should be hard to watch.
It definitely would help reduce people from speeding or doing silly thing while driving due to the emotional impact. And if it doesn't... then I guess that just makes the person quite heartless
I cry every time I watch this, I love this song and I miss my little sister ;( -America
Oh Shit She Dead? You Don't Need To Anwser
I do too.
My condolences.
I’m so sorry for your loss! These ads from TAC have touched me and every time I look at this one, especially when the car lights on fire, I’m afraid to get in a car with anyone, but again I send my condolences to you and your family💕💕
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
❤
The most powerful ad that should be run every November, every night for 2 months.
I’m sooo glad they show this overseas❤ very proud to be from the Australian state that made these ads
I'll be 17 years sober this July. The smartest thing I've ever done was quit after 27 years of mostly hard drinking, 3 crashes and 10 DUI's. My highest blood alcohol? .42 I should have died. I thank God I never killed anyone because of my drinking. Had I kept going I'd surely have hurt or killed someone and I'd definitely have gone to prison. It would be impossible to enjoy any of my life had I killed due to drinking. Get sober and live a good life.
Good on you for getting your shit together and making that decision.
Good thing you figured it out before it was too late. There are some things in life that don't go in reverse!
My boyfriend lost his daughter 8 years ago when her "friend" drove drunk. The driver lived and was not punished for it because her Dad was a cop. Evidence was lost, people were hushed. She went on to maim another kid who was an athlete, Again, she walked....karma may be losing a daughter or son of her own with herself or another drunk driver at the wheel. She never apologized to my boyfriend nor did she even attend the funeral as her parents thought it might have a "negative affect" on her....

You try and take a smile and an evening that just won’t end
And add them both together so night will now extend
You tread in ways of losing, where pain is known as friend
You spend your life infusing two things that would not blend
You have entered into a one way street you insist you can defend
You’ve done it once and done it twice and often you recommend
This liquid life of laugh and love but never to offend
The furthest thing you thought was play, to you was just pretend
But the pain you soon will cause another, will cause strong men to bend
For the pain into which you enter sees never its eventual end
Please don’t do the drink and drive, your fate is not to send
A person that you may not know, nor a life did intend to end
@52ponybike Thank you for your honesty and I am glad that you realized you have a problem, most repeat offenders do have some substance abuse issue. It was nice to read how open you are. Please take a moment to read our story this is what happens when you make the choice to drink and drive without any thoughts that it can ever happen to you! My son killed his best friend! www.thenextstepfoundation.org or facebook.com/marathonbrandon
I do public speaking to groups on this subject and take him with me though he isn't able to tell the story because he has a severe traumatic brain injury that has left him 100% dependent upon me for all his care!
bring it back, this is real life, this is the stuff that happens. no one understands until it happens
I've had 3 people close to me murdered (yes MURDERED) by drunk drivers,all were repeat offenders and 2 of them had caused serious injuries in previous crashes (Don't ever dare to call them accidents-there's nothing accidental about making the decision to drive drunk.) .Commercials such as these should be mandatory viewing for everyone before they are issued a driver's licence.
I agree.
I am a health educator of 33 years, and I show this every year. It has such an impact on the students. Thank you for sharing!
I drove a tow truck for 15yrs and it's a very sad thing to witness all the horror caused by drinking and driving. Now we have inattentive driving doing just as much damage. Why don't people wake up?
Some young and older people think that they are invincible and that their actions don't have consequences or they simply just don't care about anyone else but themselves it's like " I will have as many drinks as I want and do drugs as much as I want if I die or someone else dies so be it" they just don't care, until they have to face the punishment for their carelessness.
It's ironic that you said "wake up" because driving tired is actually worse than driving drunk.
We should make these types of PSAs in the US and air them on national television frequently. Until that happens, the Australian PSAs should be mandatory in all driver's Ed classes.
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON AIR ALL OVER THE WORLD!
We were shown this in year 10 during our classes on safe driving. Years later, I still remember this so vividly. If you can watch this and still decide to speed, drive while drunk or high, check your phone while behind the wheel or just in general drive recklessly, you should have your licence disqualified.
When I was taking my license, we had a showing of this video. Even in such a non-relaxed setting, many were in tears afterwards, I know I were. This video should be mandatory for realizing the dangers of unsafe driving
If this isn't on TV then it needs to be. Run it all year for all I care.
On every holiday and superbowl.
This is a compilation of ads that were on aussie TV. I don't recall seeing this video itself on TV, but there's always TAC ads on Australian TV
I just viewed this video today at a MADD victim impact panel. There were about 90 people there, and several groups laughed during it. I couldn't believe it. I live in the United States, and am sickened by my peers. This video really moved me. I realized what a stupid fucking thing I did. I am ashamed. This video should be shown before anyone can get a license. I know this is either a Canadian or Australian video. What the hell is wrong with people and what the hell is wrong with my country? I just wanted to say that, because of this video, its really changed my life. I don't know who made it but thank you Canada, Australia, or what country, thank you.
+M Hrab It was Australia mate
Aussie commercial, mate :) if this has changed someone's life or stopped a would-be speeder, drink driver etc then that is great...still got a while to go... I have a young friend who gets her lisence soon and se's already talking about speeding... it's all F the police with her... she really needs to pull her head in before she gets herself or someone else killed. i am very worried about her, but she's a typical teen who doesn't care about what everyone else thinks... love her to bits... hopefully the day will come when she'll mature somewhat...until then...just hope no one, including herself, is hurt.
Just saw this ad in Drivers Ed class today in Wisconsin, which at first I found weird because it's from Australia, but as I watched, I saw just how effective it was.
It was by the Transport Accident Commission of Victoria a statutory authority that provides the compulsory third party insurance for motor vehicles.
@@tuliko8678 Feel your pain mate, you are not alone...
I share it every Christmas on Facebook (did so today), and get high school students to watch it, and I know it has saved many, many lives and prevented so many accidents. My son and his friends saw it five years ago when they were 17 and about to get their licences and they were so moved by it, that some delayed getting their licences for years because they were worried they'd be responsible for killing a friend... and not one of them has ever got behind the steering wheel with any alcohol in their system, they all use designated drivers, they don't speed, they are careful and not one has had an accident yet. I can't begin to guess how many lives this has saved, but I know that many of my overseas friends also share it, so all over the world there are people alive because of this. Well done.
For those who do not know - Each of the incidents is a recreation of an ACTUAL ACCIDENT - down to the causes, road conditions and so on.
These situations are REAL... not made up by some writer somewhere but taken from actual police reports. Think about that. That woman holding her child begging to be allowed to take her dead son home while the driver is muttering how he was only a little over the speed limit.... the family BBQ were people got drunk and then drove home, never to be seen alive again.... the girl who took off her seat belt and went head first through the windscreen getting terrible facial injuries, back injuries and has to learn to walk again.... ALL REAL.
Just think about it.
I grew up with these ads, I even remember when the first one came out. I have seen their effect on others. I had a friend, Rick who refused to wear a seatbelt until the day his six year old daughter Cassandra, started crying in the car. He asked her what was wrong. Her reply? 'I don't want you to die, Daddy because you didn't wear your belt... like the girl on TV'. He started to laugh for a moment then sobered up looking into her eyes. That was in 1991 or 92, I think. It happened outside my flat in Brunswick and he ended up coming back inside for a moment to tell me what had just happened and he was white as a sheet and shaking. He didn't want his little girl scared like that. Her taking notice influenced him and it got to him when he realised how his actions affected her...He has worn his seatbelt ever since then.
This is sickeningly beautiful
Well said.
+MusicloverX88 👌🏽
It does is. I really liked watching it, but also, it makes me think of all people who have died or got injured because of car accidents which are preventablr.
*Still* the greatest PSA ever made.
Good, effective ads you have here. Very powerful. I wish we had more of these in America. Many of them make me cry, especially the "pictures of you" and the grieving father ones.
The one at 3:27 was sad. I got it right away. Which ad is that?
You Aussies know how to make an ad.
We sure do!
You got that right!
It is the right movie for any country.
Movie? This is a PSA
@@DHAdArchivez It doesn't matter, at least it might get a TV-14 rating, 15 ratings, whatever. Kids can handle stuff like this because that's real life.
While most would be disgusted and traumatized because of these ads (me included.), I find it amazing how most of these campaigns are still active today and still trying to convince the world to actually think, in a very graphic and convincing way. Here's to 20 more years of helping change the world!
And they don’t show such graphic ads nowadays because it upsets too many people. WTF.😞
I AGREE THIS VIDEO IS THE ONLY WAY ANYONE ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANET IS GOING TO STOP BEING SUCH AN IDIOT ON OUR ROADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
When I was 7 months pregnant with my youngest son I was driving home one evening, carefully observing speed limits and checking the roads. But a car came through a stop sign and slammed right into me. I was not wearing a seat belt, ironically as it was considered unsafe to do so into the 3rd trimesta. My car turned and tumbled and I went everywhere, finally taken to hospital by ambulance. The driver of the car that hit me was unlicensed, his car unregistered, he had too many passengers who also were not buckled in (some suffering serious injuries as a result of the crash) and he had been drinking and speeding. The courts threw the book at him. I had a worrying 3 months until my son was born.
I got out of the car without a scratch. My son is perfect and healthy. Every day I thank God for this miracle. But I can affirm, as an ex-nurse, that my experience was rare. It just doesn't happen that way. Please everyone, remember that to everyone else, you are that someone else this happens to. So for your own sake, do the right thing.
I was arrested for driving under the influence...I had to sit in that cell thinking about it all...what if I had killed someone? What if a drunk driver killed anyone I loved? I will never EVER drink and drive again. One of the stupidest decisions I have ever made.
They showed us this in Driver's Ed. I was speechless. I hope more people see this and it makes an impact on them. I showed one of my best friends this because I don't ever want to lose her this way.
that scene with the mother holding her dead child in her arms at 3:14 is one of the most powerful scenes to me, that poor mother. Not to say the others weren't sad but this really stood out to me for some reason.
That's one of my favourite PSAs- it's called "Little bit dead" I believe.
That is based on a true story
no
Oh wow I'm speechless crying. I remember when these ads came out. The montage you just did would be an excellent awareness ad by itself. You really showed what it's really like. Well done guys. Coming from Melbourne 2023 , stay safe xx
Absolutely the best advert for road safety. I used to work in Emergency and road accidents were a nightmare. Everybody who had a ticket for speedy or drunk driving, should watch this video. Life's can change in a second and nobody can turn the clock back.
This should be shown to everyone taking their test for a driver's license!!
How can anyone dislike this? It's a great warning to society and it needs to be watched by everyone.
Bc it’s spreading fear and fear is a disease
Then it did it's job. One should be absolutely terrified of getting behind the wheel impaired (drink, drug, fatigue, etc) and not do it.
When I was a child I saw this, and I can't tell how I felt in that moment. Now I'm older and it's powerful and I think now I can learn the lesson.
I can't even begin to articulate the depth of my emotions at this moment. The lump in my throat and the tear in my eye will have to be enough. I love my family.
I've watched this video many times and every single time, it has always brought me to tears. This video should be shown to everybody who even thinks for one second that they can drink and drive and be perfectly fine!
I remember these ads from the 90s, i was in my teens, and my mum found them very upsetting. An example of how an advertising campaign can have a impactful affect on attitudes and behaviours. There is the danger of shock tactic overload where ppl get inured to the images in the ads and this is why educational campaigns have to find different ways to get the message out.
Everyone who drives should watch this.
Stay safe this silly season.
My company commander (us army) showed us this. Very touching video that shows you the reality of drinking and driving. We need commercials like this in the states.
As such the individual ones are tough to watch. How to take it to the next level of sending an even more gut wrenching message? Put them altogether in a 5+ minute clip. Genius.
This is an ULTIMATE MASTERPIECE commercial. Ten thousand stars to producers.
I show this at the end of my Traffic Safety classes and it always hits my students right between the eyes!
Fantastic job on this video......a real eye opener and the song is perfect for it!
Was part of Teens Against Drinking and Driving for all of my middle and high school years. Watched this so many times and it breaks my heart over again each time I see it
my mum was killed by a drink driver 20 years ago. the hurt and pain still lives with me today......to those who think "it's ok" to drive while drunk or stoned your fooling yourself. i take my hat off to TAC and their campain to reduce the australian road toll. to those who think these commercials are "too graphic" consider that road accidents both fatal or not ARE a fact of life. please continue the good work TAC.
❤
As a cop, I've seen this stuff for real. I've seen it and it is horrific, and you'll never know how it feels to have to tell a mom and dad that their kid is dead. For the love of everybody who loves you, don't drink and drive.
Ya I lost my sister by drinking and driving almost 20 years now I lost her and I still not get over it 😢
Timeless PSA. I keep sharing it as the years go by as I’ve seen nothing better to replace it. And yes, it is hard to watch without becoming emotional,
The fact that I could've been dead within seconds honestly makes me cry alittle, having to see my mom be hurt like that for my actions, or having any chance of hurting someone else's daughter, father, son or mother really made me thankful nobody was hurt, it made me rethink.
Thank you TAC for making these commercials.
Thank you all the dedicated actors who sometimes put themselves in high risk situations to film these.
Thank you to all those loved ones who appeared in these clips as themselves, showing real grief.
Thank you all those who have ever seen one of these clips and changed your decision to not drive because you had been drinking, taking drugs, or tired. You have saved lives, and prevented thousands from grief through the ripple effect.
Most definitely the best ad which should be aired in the UK. Really hits home the severe dangers of drink driving.
Best drinking driving commercial ever. I show it to all my students for over 12 years years now. I cry every time I watch it.
when i watched this in my 8th grade I was bawling my eyes out.
WOW, THE TEARS ARE JUST FALLING. SO GRAPHIC,
ME TOO😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The trauma suffered by first responders from road traffic accidents is devastating.
They live with it forever.
The brutality of the scene, the grief of the loved ones, the forensic aftermath.
One day their armour falls, they break.
One of the most powerful PSAs I've seen. I hope this makes a difference and turns a light bulb on for people.
As a paramedic I use this video when talking to people who have been ordered by a judge to attend a traffic offenders intervention programme it certainly hits home with them as to what can and does happen when you drive under the influence
Received this video by email again. It's been circulating in Brazil for years now, which is great because drivers there can be very reckless and drive after drinking. I lost a cousin for this reason on Christmas day 8 years ago. Another cousin nearly died after crashing against a tree. He'd spent the night at a nightclub and drank more than he should have. He suffered some brain damage and is not an independent person anymore. His mother told me it's just like looking after a baby all over again
Exactly 10 years later and I'm back here to watch such a sad and yet beautiful video
Best driving safety ad ever
so beautiful😭😭😭
My 'Forensic Medicine' teacher showed our entire class this video today and l had to come find it and watch it again so that l could fully *feel* it... this video taught me two things: Driving must be done with the utmost of resposibilities... and those for whom you care deeply can be gone from your life in the blink of an eye; treasure them and let them know how much you care.
So strong, I actually cry everytime I watch this...everytime. People really need to get the message.
This was so powerful, and sad. I watched this for a class...almost could not finish....WOW...if commercials were this powerful today maybe it would touch more....

Wow, very powerful! I was trying to hold back the tears, but 3:43 got me. I can only imagine that pup was the fur baby of the person laying there on a normal daily run, having no comprehension that she's permanently lost the one who loves and cares for her. 💔
Kudos to Aussies for creating such a meaningful ad campaign! I have no doubt it has stopped many from making this decision.
For me, still one of the best clips ever !
I grew up on the modern ads from this compilation, and others that weren't included in this.
The fact that America doesn't have ads like these boggles my mind.
Fear fear itself.
And how do YOU manage your driving?
Thank God for RUclips. Every American needs to watch this. Especially every teenager.
soy instructor de conductores en chile,vengo usando estas imagenes como metodo de prevencion en mis alumnos hace casi 10 años,no he encontrado ninguna campaña tan contundente como esta
Los vídeos de TAC son muy buenos. Te dejan pensando y, definitivamente, esta complicación muestra cómo pueden ser tantas cosas que al final terminan en tragedia.
Needs to be shown in every school
Make it all major organisions and businesses as well as too many workers, businesses and familys suffered as well. from foolish actions
Without a doubt the best ad 20 years of ... the tears
I don't think I'll ever be able to watch Celebrities Read Mean Tweets ever again.
What does that mean, please? Edit: was it tied to this video and REM?
@@gindaburra this comment is 6 years old and I forgot about it but yeah, this song was used on it. I’m guessing I meant that I’d associate this song with this video but I can’t remember
@@PulseOfTheMaggie thank you for replying anyway.
I saw this in my health class today and i bawled my eyes out. I have never cried like that due to a video before. It is so moving, everyone needs to see this.
Im so sorry for you loss, and your words do not go without impact. Stay strong my friend.
These TAC ads have always impressed me with their ability to communicate just how dangerous road travel is and how quickly a simple moment of carelessness can have terrible, life changing - or life ending - consequences. Flinging a ton of metal along a strip of tar barely widely enough to contain it and the opposing stream of metal boxes is dangerous. Please don't ever forget that. Most of the time, we drive well, other road users drive well, we all arrive safely. But it takes less than a second for everything to go horribly wrong. Be safe. :)
There should be more commercials like these. Everywhere. Lets people see what really happens.
I was around four and still remember this being played
I think this should be played during the Super Bowl commercials.
This is one that actually makes my stomach hurt
the best ads ever made. grew up watching these and it made me the alert driver I am today :)
How can you not be affected by this
martin vippond this was so sad
Fear is pointless
If it stops you from doing stupid things (such as driving impaired) then it does have a point.
ikr
This is still hard to watch, always brings tears to my eyes. such a powerful video.
😭
These bloody ads, always making me cry.
They should put this back on TV
Amazing, it's incredible that this kind of accidents still happens all around the world
They showed this to me in high school and to this day I remember it.
I still find it amazing just how much awareness alone does, the TAC's movement was something impressive
People don't realize just how deadly cars can be, and that they need to make responsible decisions before and while operating one. Once you get behind the wheel, you're operating a two ton machine.
Not just cars. Pickups, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles. I've heard of people operating every single type of vehicle while they were drunk or high. A semi or dump truck will kill someone if they're hit by one.
people have no respect for how much potential energy you have behind your foot, the fact a car accelerates so easy takes away the feeling of mass for most ignorant drivers.
Devastatingly, heartbreakingly real. This is expertly made and the effect is harrowing.
I'm definitely gonna be showing this to some friends. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones because of others stupidity.
