20 years of TAC advertising, Everybody Hurts
• 20 years of TAC advert...
AUSTRALIA
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.
Hey fam, just wanted to say thank you for all your pure awesomness!! 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.
I was at the MCG for a footy match when a new TAC ad debuted on the big screen before the match.
60,000+ crowd went quiet as we all watched the new ad and then talked about it with those around us.
These were some of the most effective public service ads in the world in both raising awareness and changing behaviour.
These ads initially aired in one State only, Victoria, but were shown further afield due to their impact. From memory a lot of real people agreed to appear in these ads - not just actors. For example, doctors, nurses, ambos, and a lot of Victorian cops participated in filming the accident scenes. My friend flew the police chopper that landed in one of these ads. TAC wanted to authentically show how devastating these accident scenes are for everyone. And sadly, several grieving parents agreed to show photos of their lost children, to drive the message home about the heartbreak this causes.
I’ll never forget the advert with the lady screaming give me back my boy , still rattles me today and it’s well over 20 years old .
In 1970 our road toll in Victoria where the TAC ( Transport accident commission) is was 1061 after that the Victorian government started to initiate strategies to reduce this number . Compulsory wearing of seatbelts , random breath testing , heavy fines for speeding etc. The TAC was introduced under the transport accident act to compensate people injured in car accidents . It’s funded by a compulsory levy charged with your yearly registration. Any accident on the road an injured person is covered for ambulance , hospitalisation and then compensation regardless who is at fault or even if the car is registered or they have a licence.
Australia doesnt mess around when it has a message to deliver
This started in my state of. Victoria. Confronting but effective. After being an ICU nurse, I appreciate them
I’m now 63 YO, grew up in Victoria with these ads. They would often screen on TV at the 6.00pm - 7.00pm time slot with the news programs and really catch you when relaxing with the family. Powerful yes, influential hopefully also yes.
The new issue are people on phones, it is like a disease. I used to work on the first floor of a city building, we could see into cars at the traffic lights and at a red light around 50% of drivers could not resist picking up the phone from the passenger seat and doing whatever, often driving off when the lights go green with more attention on the phone. We often saw city police on bikes catching them and had them queued-up down the road getting an infringement ticket and a lecture.
As someone who grew up watching these, I can still quote most of them. They hit home always. For a very good reason. As an emergency services dispatcher- thankyou for spreading this to the world.... sending ❤from 🇦🇺
Especially when the truck driver gets out of the truck and drops his shoulders
I’m Australian and remember all of these ads. The worst one for me was near the end when the mum is cradling her young blonde son ( just like my own) and wailing Give me back my boy! Still makes me cry after decades, it hits you so hard. The TAC do these ads for a reason and they have been extremely successful in reducing our road toll. Still too many die though 💔
Agree 💯
My brother went to school with the kid (now adult) who played the blonde kid. He had to put up with years of all the other kids screaming "give me back my boyyyyy" in the playground.
And please spare a thought for those souls who have to attend and inform of a loss, I'm the wrong side of 70 and have never forgotten
such a job on Christmas morning, telling a mother her young daughter was not coming home.......... still hurts!!!!
This applies to anyone that attends these heartbreaking accidents. Sometimes people forget, ambo's, paramedics, chopper pilots, police, nurses and doctors are human too. We all have loved ones and all hurt.
I’m so sorry. Someone has to do it. But I’m so sorry they do, and that you did.
Hi Guys, I live in the state of Victoria.
We have some of the harshest penalties in the country.
There are police blocks on all roads at any time of day, they carry out test for Drugs and Alcohol.
Any traces of drugs in your system while driving, no more for you for a long time, with alcohol, it is allowed a reading of .05 percent in your blood system, above that, huge fines, loss of demerit points, 11 demerit points in 3 years and your license is automatically disqualified.
The authorities have now introduced on top of speeding and Red light cameras, Mobile phones( Cell phones in the US). I’m not quite sure what penalties apply with that, but , I’ve heard it’s like 4 demerit points in one hit and huge fines.
On a sad note, recently a young lady driving was found guilty of using the phone while driving, hit and killed a cyclist and received a jail sentence.
There is no beating around the bush with road safety in this state.
Travis you are so right, with how this impacts so many and it’s called the ripple effects. People that witness the accident, the emergency services, Police, Fire, Ambulance, tow truck, nurses, doctors, family and friends and the list goes on.
Thanks for the reaction and sorry for making you guys upset.
Road safety campaigns have been a big thing here - although the past few years they don't seem to be as brutal as the older ones.
Thanks again ❤
Wish they would start them up again, with other languages because sadly the message is no longer getting through.
I so remember these adds, thankfully back then it reduced the road toll for a few years. Post Covid, mobile phones, drugs & alcohol, some people just don’t care and won’t care until it affects them.
Susie & Travis in our state of Melbourne, Victoria Australia our police place a bauble with the persons name on a Christmas tree and then send that to the family. TAC stand for Transport Accident Commission.
My hubby and I went we go out, we would take turns to be designated driver and now we don’t drink.
Agreed! Wish they would show those ads again@@Elle.G.74
The one that really gets me is the one where they ask people what's an acceptable road toll number & then bring in that same number of people from that persons family. Everyone starts off with a number & changes it to zero.
It's obviously very different to these ones, but very thought provoking.
I’m proud of my state of Victoria. Share this ad please. It may save a life
Another interesting campaign, also from Victoria, was bumper stickers that simply said "Touched By The Road Toll". If you knew someone that had died in a crash you would put the sticker on your car.
Seeing so many cars with the sticker really helped make people understand that it can happen to anyone.
That was seriously confronting. Even though I've seen them before. It still hits you.
What a great campaign. Road tolls have been going down in Australia for many years.
It was getting out of control, and something needed to be done.
This, and other similar campaigns around the country, really made you think before getting behind the wheel..
This was hard to watch my sister lost her life in a car accident and her 13 year old daughter my niece was trapped in the car next to her mother for a long time while they cut her out of the car. My niece never recovered from the incident physically she was good but mentally not so good. These ads have done a great job of showing people the reality of their actions rather than the abstract. It just hits you where it hurts, and once you have seen it, you can't un see it.
In Britain we had RTA's (road traffic accidents). This was changed to RTC's - road traffic collisions. Why? Simple really, every collision is avoidable and should never be referred to as an accident.
Yep. agree 100%
You were wondering whether some elements of the TAC ads were real - The 1st ad aired around late 1980s I think. The ad featured the Charge Nurse/NUM (I cant remember her name) in the Emergency Dept at Royal Melbourne Hospital and it looks like the old emergency dept there (I was student nurse). I think other TAC ads may have featured health professionals from Emergency dept at different hospitals.
These are clips from TAC ads. The full ads have a lot more impact. Thanks for the reaction
I agree especially because each ad has a specific message 😊
This one really hits home for me. I had an experience in the early 2000s where I witnessed a cyclist being hit and killed by the car in front of me while I was driving to work one morning. What I remember most and scarred me the most was that in my action of pulling to the side of the road, I caught a glimpse of the cyclist's helmet and then felt the bump as my front tyre ran over the helmet. My immediate thought was that I had run over the cyclist's head. Once on the side of the road I noticed that the driver of the car that hit the cyclist was running back towards the crash scene, openly distraught at what had happened. That was almost as heart-wrenching as the lifeless body on the side of the road.
Long story made short, thankfully, the helmet I ran over had fallen off the deceased cyclist, so I didn't, as I feared initially, run over his head. I stayed and assisted the emergency services (mostly the police) where I could. Later, I was summonsed to the Coroner's Court to give evidence of what I had witnessed, and this is where I learned the true tragedy of what had happened.
The man driving the car that hit the cyclist, the man I comforted at the scene, his younger brother was killed as a cyclist, hit by a car years before. I learned that the driver of the car had been working his normal night shift and was simply driving home to his family, he was unaffected by alcohol or drugs. I learned that the young man who was killed (mid-20s) was a foreign national, who had come to Australia on a tourist working visa and was volunteering his time at what is probably Australia's most prominent privately owned wildlife park (think crocodiles). The young man that was killed was described as being passionate about Australia's wildlife and environmental issues, which is why he was riding a bicycle instead of driving a car.
This was a tragic circumstance, where there was no real action of malice, law breaking or chemical impairment. This was probably a simple example of a momentary lapse of attention by both the cyclist and the driver that changed both their lives. However, the change doesn't stop there; it continued with the off-duty nurse who performed CPR until the medics arrived, the motorists that stopped and took their lives in their hands to stand in the middle of the road to slow traffic and direct it around the crash scene, the families of all these people ... the list goes on.
Just from this one life that was tragically cut short, more than 100 people were directly affected. For this reason alone, I was a strong supporter of the harrowing TAC adverts. Death tolls in the 300s are still way too high, we need everyone to ride, drive, skate, scooter or walk like your life depends on your actions, because it truly does.
Thank you for sharing your story kind regards from Victoria Australia
Wow....we generally got fed this as a one incident at a time..ie er ad. You guys have just got an absolute overload in one hit of the ads we have. You are both very brave for doing that cos I'd imagine the impact for you guys would be 100 fold. Thank you.
Itsvsuch a powerful retrospective. They reintroduce characters we all remember, stories we remember, from 30 second commercials and then reintroduce the pain, loss and trauma.
Everytime i see the parallel bars in the Alfred Hospital's rehab gym my brain says "bend your knees Katie, bend your knees".
These ads were graphic but it was the stiries they managed to portray in 30 seconds that sold the message.
You guys brought up the range of safety issues around driving and you got it right. The TAC did a lot of different issues, focussing on one issue at a time, often in tandem with police focussing on that issue. Seatbelts. Drunk driving. Speeding. Dangerous driving/careless overtaking/showing off to mates. Driving when tired. When they did the tired driving campaign, the state government put extra rest stops on the sides of highways. Distracted driving. I forget if safe focused speed limit driving around school zones was its own School Zones campaign, or folded into others. T-Intersections (looking both ways).
This compilation was harder than the 30 second ads each were, because so many crashes and trauma sights were stacked on top of each other at a rapid fire pace during this. But most of them were pretty confronting at the time. Getting to know you section, then the issue leads to a crash, a death or disabling/disfiguring injury. Ms Wolf Hunterz first cried when that adult lifted a child’s photo, and it’s the human reaction. It was part of a 30 second ad of real people showing real photos of the family members they lost on the road.
Cops can pull you over for broken lights, no seatbelts, being on the phone. The only random pullovers are for breath tests/spit drug tests. It’s insane to most Aussies that ‘Americans don’t accept random breath tests. So much faster than doing the physical coordination test too. We also do police traffic diversions of an entire road where everyone goes through a multi-cop, multi-lane checkpoint and all the drivers are tested. When they started those, the amount of drivers over the limit on a Friday night or holiday was sky high. After a few years of pop-up random checkpoints and random breath tests, the amount of drink drivers plummeted towards zero. But you have to keep doing them to keep it really low.
As an Aussie. I stupidly drove drunk. Lost my license for 2.5 yrs and $2500 fine. Thank God no one got hurt. I am sorry😢
I am ex police and was caught at .057 and (Australia’s limit is .05%) it was the most shameful moment of my life. I was taken back to the police station that I had worked at for years, all the guys saying Gday Kazz, what are you doing here? I got a Good Behaviour Bond as the reading was low and no loss of licence as I had no priors but will never forget that shame and have not had any alcohol, and I wasn’t much of a drinker, since 2002. Fortunately they only chose me as I was the only car on the road in our country town so it wasn’t any reckless driving, but I’m glad that I was caught. I was 41 yrs old and I knew better. The scary part is that I had waited and felt safe to drive, and I wasn’t!
@@karenglenn6707 it would be handy if breathalyzers were more readily available. Like voluntary ones you could pay 50c or a dollar to use at the pub.
Thank you for apologising. You’re alright now mate.
My father served for 27 years here in Australia with VicPol. I complained to him soon after I got my licence about a Police Officers attitude over my car tyre. Dad replied "He is probably sick of attending homes to tell family loved ones died in a car accident' Lectured me about it being the worst part of the job then got my tyre replaced.
Yes my son says similar
Part of what is gradually changing is the language that is used, particularly in the media. Accidents are unforeseeable and unpreventable, like a tree falling on a car (yes, actually happened), but crashes occur when people drive irresponsibly, don't maintain their vehicles (ie brake failure), don't pay attention. And yes, being shown the reality of poor driving decisions is incredibly impactful.
Damn, they sure didn't sugar coat that message as they shouldn't!
G'day, Having been in one of these "real life incidents" in the early 80s, you never forget some things. Luckily, I was unhurt, but 2 people died. I've had a few other lucky escapes over the years. These ads did cause a stir up with some people saying they showed too much. Anyone that has had to burry a loved one from anything like this would say "If it saves 1 person, it is worth it".
Thanks for sharing Bones.
We have these things called Taxis and buses or Trains. Even mates who are designated drivers. These ads were effective.
Sadly this is true, lost 2 of our family members 3 years apart, a father and daughter, the daughter was only 17, it was a drunk driver. This is one of the best reaction videos you have ever done.
Some of the footage is real, specifically footage of people holding photo's of loved ones who lost their lives.
Yes this is The Australian road safety ads, blunt and effective. My sisters father in law was killed in a car accident a week before Xmas about 6yrs ago when he was tired and pulled out in front of semi. His aunt was also in the car and she survived 😢 My dad lost a good friend of his when he was 21, he got a concussion playing footy and the hospital okayed him to go home. He decided to drive himself home, he didn't make it. He blacked out and drove straight into a tree 😢
"Hold on Cathy, Bend your knee" and "DARREN!!" were literally the background of my childhood... If you want to see (in my mind) the "best" one they ever did... React to "So. This is Christmas"... omg.. that is gut wrenching....
My friend lost her beautiful 22 year old son because of a drunk and drugged driver. Their family will never recover from that. These ads really pack a punch.
Over the years I've seen this add probably close to 100 times. it still reaches into my heart and the tears flow, ... it certainly drives it home, (pardon the pun ) Drive safe people, take care on the road.
I worked with another Aussie state equivalent of the TAC. I specifically dealt with families of people killed in accidents and people left catastrophically injured. This hits way too hard.
You made me cry all over my glasses. Beautiful heart and soul dear.
Should show this in schools everywhere
I remember in high school (the 1970s) the police came to talk about safe driving and showed photos of accidents. Seeing someone’s legs after being hit by a car and brain matter splattered on a power pole was something I never forgot.
The adds work and the shock is all the more because we all have been in these situations,they make you think.
Thank you for being caring people.
Another big killer in traffic is being really tired, which is as dangerous as drunk driving
Victoria is strong on road safety. It was the first place in the world to mandate compulsory wearing of seat belts in 1970. Other Australian states soon followed their lead.
Makes me cry (sob) everytime - such devastation and heartbreak. 💔
The Ads. Telling it exactly as it is, in black and white - Aussies educated.
My brother got hit while his cycling club was doing road training. all corners marked with warning signs "caution cyclists training, drive slowly", away from main roads. The guy came round the corner so fast, he hit them on the other side of the road. The boy next to my brother was killed. My brother was lucky and just had his bike trashed and cuts and bruises.
So soz to hear. I was hit then 1 week later, I lost my brother in a hit & run. It effect’s you for the rest of your life.
TAC is the Victorian state government-owned Transport Accidents Commission - tasked to reduce the incidence of road trauma. It is a mandatory insurance paid as part of your annual vehicle registration. It covers injuries to people in accidents. It includes covering the driver, unlike the NSW greenslip system. They also fund road safety campaigns, and advocate for safer roads and infrastructure.
South Australia has a similar system as the TAC (called MAC) and we also pay compulsory insurance as a component of our registration
Just recently my granddaughters partners grandmother was ploughed into by another car she died instantly. And yes it affected a lot of people.
I'm sorry for your loss and your family's loss, so tragic kind regards
It's interesting to juxtapose this with some car ads that sell speed by ramping the footage, excitement of packing the car with friends and slogans like "get in or get out of the way', "every drive a rally drive" and "zoom zoom zoom". Imagine the 10 year old who can't wait to drive and the mindset it creates when they finally get a license. Thankfully the ad culture changed but I see it creeping back in sometimes. Never tell your child you're racing someone on the road.
It hits hard, it needs to
In Canada we had graphic ads about workplace safety. It might be something you could look into.
We have those ads also in 🇦🇺
Some of the ads were licensed by other states, I've seen them on NSW TV without the TAC livery.
These ads worked, bring them back
My buddy's teenage son was changing a tire on the side of the road late one night and someone didnt see him and clipped him and killed him. And upon hearing the news, my buddy then took his own life from the grief.
That's so sad ... Every word that comes to mind just seems like a cliche or a huge understatement, nothing I can think of conveys what I'm feeling but I thought I'd write nonetheless, I've had similar tragedy in my family, kind regards (from Australia)
@@oscillatewildly6553 Thank you. That means alot. I know we all lose friends and family but that one was rough.
You forget the impact this Transport Accident Commission (TAC) ad campaign had. Definitely some real floatable I think of the Royal Melbourne Hospital ED which is one of the two trauma units in Melbourne
They had a program where young drivers were taken around wrecked cars and told them the outcome to shock them.
This is rapid fire brutal and really unsettling to watch since it just doesn't let up on shocking the viewer. But the original entire clips were sudden and just hit differently.
Australia TAC (Transport Accident Commision) tired of the ongoing BS and Stupidity of the general populace decided to just go blitzkrieg everyone and go down a R rated dark and deadly serious path and show all Australians the pure brutal truth of what happens in an accident.
These adds were shown during all hours of the day so to make sure EVERYONE was able to watch them. It worked and shocked everyone senseless and made a big impact of the annual road death toll.
Still get plenty of idiots to who say it will never and has never happened to them. Most of them it was infamous last words sadly.
I remember 50 years ago near me growing up as a kid, about 8yo, there was a single lane rural bridge and it was in a valley.
It wasn't well sign posted but all locals knew to slow down going up the hill so they had plenty of time to crest the hill and look down into the valley incase someone was already crossing the bridge and have enough time to slow down.
To one side of the bridge was a massive and ancient 5 meter wide Gum Tree.
One day it had a big red splat mark on it that turned dark brown over time and slowly vanished.
I remember it clear as day and knew that was a fatality.
That bridge is still actually there to this day, but they built a wide 2 lane bridge right next to it some 30 years ago.
All the adds were acted out perfectly and I believe they must of done their research with Police, Paramedic, Hospital, Fire Brigade and SES services and asked for the tiniest, nitty gritty details and experiences of the workers to make these videos as life like as they possibly could.
Sounds like a bridge between Melbourne and Sunbury that got duplicated around the same time. More towards Sunbury than the central city. Of course now Sunbury is the outer edge of Melbourne :/
@@ariadnepyanfar1048 I can't remember where it was exactly now, but it is somewhere between Yan Yean and Wallan in northern Victoria. I haven't used the roads for about 15 years. I normally just go up the Hume now.
Love the song
These adds were powerful and effective. And showed the truth of what happens. It’s not an accident if you choose to drink,and drive. Our alcohol limit is .05
Bastante forte de emoções este video
I’ve grown up watching these ads and they really brought the road tolls down. Sometimes it was down in the 100’s rather than the 2/300’s but sadly now because less people are watching “mainstream tv” and can choose to skip ads or not see them at all with streaming services like Netflix, I’ve noticed a sad trend the the road tolls is creeping back up again. I think they need to bring these ads back. They regularly mention the road tolls on the evening news.
They should put them on UA-cam and other sites. Possibly tracked for whether you are australian.
Now you know why John Farnham ended some of his concerts saying " Be careful on the roads" ❤😢
I have made it a habit to share this video with all of my friends, mates and family EVERY SINGLE DECEMBER as a reminder to stay safe over the festive Xmas/New Years season.
Very tearing love you guys.
There was a concerted effort to bring down the horrendous road deaths since the 80's with increased police presence, fines and alcohol limits nation wide.
It worked after a couple of decades.
Some Americans think Australia is a bit of a nanny state when they visit but you never hear Australians complaining about bringing down the toll. Then or now.
Hi watching from Australia,
Unfortunately as a country,
the message was not getting through,
so this confronting ADD was put out ,
at the end of the day we all have choice's.
Love your channel, thankyou for all the work
you put into your videos,
Also not shying away from the hard topics,
Hopefully people will see this on your channel
and stop and think.
Thankyou both ❤
Simply Thank You
I remember these ads just before I learned to drive. I used to think I was a bit bulletproof. I had a very close call I almost flipped my car off a bridge. I won't drive tired anymore. If I'm driving I'm not even risking one drink cos it's just not worth it. I need my skills to be sharp. Especially with the state of our roads here.
I've been first on scene to 2 car crashes. One was full on but the lady was ok but one was a double fatality, it was a couple with their friend in the back seat. Hatchback vs delivery truck. The girlfriend was pinned in the car next to her boyfriend, the driver. He was clearly gone as it was very gory with exposed bones in his neck & stuff. I did check for a pulse but no. The mate in the back looked perfect tbh. Barely a drop of blood on him. When I checked him there was no pulse. I'm doing this while trying to get the lass to not look around & especially see her boyfriend. I talked with her for about 10 min while the emergency services turned up. The guy in the delivery van was just standing in the middle of the road vomiting. He had run a red light.
Look after yourself out there but look after each other. Learn first aid, I was able to give the lady in the non fatal accident first aid & sus her out to tell the ambos what I saw when I hopped in the car with her while she was unconscious, knocked out by the airbag.
I'll never forget those scenes
Just as deadly are cannabis and distraction. A good example of both happening at the same time is when a truck t-boned a car in Oklahoma in March of '22 and killed all 6 teen girls inside. The report in part stated the following against the girl driving the car: "...due to distraction from having five teen passengers in the car, limited driving experience, and likely impairment from cannabis.” Anyway, interesting reaction video!
In Australia there are two P (probationary plates) after your Learners plate. On a P Plate you don’t need a driving instructor, you are a licenced driver, but you can’t carry more than one person aged 16-22, unless the extra is your sibling/step-sibling on the first level P-Plate.
When RBT is done, you are tested for alcohol but also drugs at the same time. We don’t muck around in 🇦🇺. Also what @ariadepyanfar mentioned.
I should have known better . 25 years of years of pulling people out of wrecks, the overiding smell of blood and alcohol. a poster on here talked about how a huge sports crowd reacted. so good these ads.
And that's why they were so effective, most states had similar PSA's. The English had a wider range of confronting PSA's
There was a series of Australian TV ads related to HIV/AIDS in the 80s. The message got through.
Sadly not so with safe driving, especially in country areas.
Fatigue and mobile phones are among the culprits.
Grim reaper with a bowling ball, I certainly remember those ads
@@cathymoss6400 I remember the grim reaper add also. We really go hard core with our messages, eg HIV, driving, work place accidents, thank goodness
It would be interesting to know why US TV and cinema doesn't show graphic images in public safety broadcasts, including showing victims of domestic fires, gunshot wounds, etc. If you buy a car or a gun, you should be shown what damage irresponsibility can cause.
each one of those ads was a story that is lost when they are chucked together as a montage.
These ads really make you think.
I can't suggest anywhere else, but I can't find you watching ELO All over the world.
1st it was in Xanadu, after that became a classic.
Search your self you will be surprised at the world involvement with this song.
And., in Xanadu the older man is gene Kelly. Best dancer of all time.
Police officer in nsw , doing the school rounds
“ don’t let ME be the last thing you see “!!
Remember that these are actual adverts, played on broadcast TV especially in prime time (not in kids TV shows though).
Cool.
Sadley I remember all them commercials its scary but it works and some of the footage is real the ones recovering
huge message! a bit off topic but similar you should watch/react to Final Destination movie series especially #2 - on the freeway - OMG
These ads were created for the state of Victoria was the first place to have them.
yes some of it has real shots in the adds
Ads like this and the "If you drink and drive, you're a bloody idiot" campaign (Barmaids collected a lot of car keys saying that) went a long way of decreasing road casualities
This was before we had cell phones and dashscreens to distract us !!! Our drink driving rate has fallen substantially, distraction and tiredness on rural rods are not the largest causes
of death. Also, people now survive from traumas that they didn't 20 or 30 years ago so deaths are down but severe disability is up.
It’s ironic I was just speaking with a co-worker about this and how anyone arrested for dui should have to watch or see pictures of those affected by this absolute avoidable tragedy.
I also grew up watching these.
I was hit by a Ute, obviously I was in hospital for awhile. Unfortunately exactly 1 week later my brother was killed by a hit a run. They never found the bast*Rd that killed him & left him on an isolated road 😭
Yes it has had a great impact on us Aussies, thank goodness, but it still happens
Also it's a mixture of many ads.
People don't realise that accidents can cause life changing injuries you carry the rest of your life.
Drive safely
A lot of these scenarios were before the distraction of mobile phones and social media was a thing. Maybe a modern one showing a driver texting (highly illegal but common here) and fatal results should be made.
These ads all come from the state of Victoria, the first jurisdiction in the world to introduce mandatory seat belts in 1969 and a global pioneer of road safety. 1970 had a horrific road toll of 1,034 dead, and from then on Government and media combined to wage war on road trauma. I remember that the front page of the major newspaper had a masthead every day that read NO MORE 1034. It still sticks with me almost six decades later.
A lot of visitors to Australia remark on how we don’t speed in the country. We used to - a lot, but these campaigns and rigorous enforcement have almost completely put an end to that.
Thank Christ.
You guys made me cry! You see some idiots still, but most people are strict with the speeds now. You can lose your license so easily now. Everything is in your face. Fixed and mobile Speed cameras everywhere, average speed cameras everywhere, Aireal speed detection, phone and seat belt detection cameras, and police in very fast BMWs.
How are you feeling today suzi and Travis
They started showing these ads in Victoria, Australia where I grew up. If there’s one thing you know about us Aussies is we don’t hold back and tell and show things how they are. This is what can and does happen, you should see the truth, don’t hide it. The death toll at the beginning proves it works. BUT now it seems to offend people who don’t care about reality and these ads aren’t shown as much anymore. Fuck the people who get offended and live in reality. If you think everything are rainbows and unicorns and not reality you will probably end up in one of these situations.
This was for the State of Victoria to drive safely
Turn off before 1034 ans we did - last year was 296 which was exactly that amount too many!
Road safety is so important. Unfortunately people get complacent and need a dose of reality.
Yeah a lot of this is real footage. The early TAC campaigns were made to be graphic. They did their job, but as someone else said people get complacent & need reminding of the realities of road trauma. It sure makes you think before you drive.
They would not be able to show these ads anymore. They would need to come with a ‘trigger’ warning which defeats the purpose of the shock factor. Also with streaming services monopolising the market less people are watching free to air where these ads were mostly shown.
G'day they are intense on purpose to make people stop and think about what might happen if they drink and drive. The main purpose is to stop people from driving while they have alcohol in their systems. love from down under mate, see ya.
Very hard to watch but we have had these adds in Australia for sometime now. I was lucky and walked away from a pretty major accident involving drunks in another car. If your not showing this in America you should, drunk and drug affected drivers have no place on our roads. The familys it destroys, first responders, doctors and nurses are greatly affected.
You can't uber home in regional areas, no drivers
