@CriTacticalDriver I know I sound like I hate you but I promise I don't. I don't always agree with your points, though. But on this occasion, you're dead right. Education is key in all walks of life, there isn't enough of it. And people DO overestimate themselves. But then again, a lot of people are very stupid. I would love there to be better driving courses worldwide, but I would also like people to take some responsibility now and then.
@wuzzlevideos My dear friend, I am a 43 years old, father of 3, so any constructive criticism is more than welcomed. Stupidity comes from lack understanding, reasoning, or inability of making sense out of the provided or perceived information.
Today's driver training industry is using 20-30 years old teaching and training methodologies and I personally believe that most of the driving schools out there provide only a temporary and insufficient "quick fix". Please do correct me if I am wrong!
@wuzzlevideos Let's use an analogy for a change. People drown because they don't know how to swim, or because they overestimate their swimming abilities.The depth of the water, 8 feet or 80 feet, is somewhat irrelevant.
As parents we don't have to focus on building a fence around the pool, but use the financial and time resources to help our children becoming better swimmers, responsible swimmers, teaching them not to FEAR the water but to RESPECT it. Same thing about the speed...
Not the speed killed those people but the inability of the driver to control the vehicle and keep it on its lane.
He just passed the cops, when would be fair to assume he slowed down, and his acceleration in 500 meters couldn't have been that great considering it was an overloaded old Mazda Protege. Most likely he lost control due to underinflated tires. There is such a thing as driving too fast for the road conditions, even if you are driving within the posted speed limit. Drive your limit!
People, SPEED does not KILL. Inefficient and improper driving ed programs and faulty teaching methodology is the result of 80% of the crashes. In driver's ed they don't teach key elements of driving; Proper searching/scanning procedure, hazard identification, predicting and detecting procedure.You have to teach N drivers how to properly use God given foveal and peripheral vision. Look up ahead 2-3 intersections, 2-3 traffic lights don't teach them to look at the bumper of the car in front of you
Teach N drivers about Target Fixation, teach people the concept "Drive with your eyes", 0 tolerance for the N drivers using the electronic devices, music included, teach N drivers how to use the foveal vision to look at the Vanishing Point (the point where the road disappear) and the parafoveal and peripheral vision to scan the side road, front and back, teach them about scanning pattern... that's what is going to prevent crashes not stupid ads with "Speed Kills"
hey these ads work in 1989 when the TAC made their first ad the road toll was 774, last year it was 291 and that was higher than the previous year, and consider this most of these ads revolve around drunk driving (driving above the .05 limit) or speeding, if you hit a tree at 100kph you will die or have a severe ABI. So don't say speed does not kill because it does.
@irishgodfatherchris Although I am not contradicting (nor embracing for that matter) your claim, but can you please who made this parallel (relationship) between the ads and lower crash number? Is there any study? Made by who? I have hard time to believe that an ad would deter a person from drinking and driving afterwards or from speeding. Not only that people have the tendency to overestimate themselves and to overrate their abilities, but more than that, they really seem to believe it.
The TAC ads are so fake and unrealistic realized, that everyone (most of the people) watching them will say or think " c'mon...this can not happen to me, I am not that stupid", therefore dismissing the message all together.
I really don't have time for that, but if someone would be interested in my opinion, over 25 years driving experience, tactical driving instructor for 12 years, 8 years motorsport (rally race), and would pay for my time, I could analyze and dismantle every single TAC clip
@CriTacticalDriver I think what people like you need to understand is that sometimes things have to be edited for stylistic purposes, storytelling purposes, time reasons, etc. Nobody is saying that every single TAC advert and adverts like them are portraying a real-life case in amazing detail, It's all about the message, to provoke thoughts in your head, and make you think "hey, I need to change my driving behaviour".
@irishgodfatherchris Please read my previous comment. No, the 150mph speed will not kill you, but the crash. Just like falling from the 10th floor... is not the fall that kills you but the terminal impact.
Although could be a contributive factor to the gravity of the consequences, speed per see is not a sole factor leading to the crash. A crash occurs due to an improper tire inflation, inattentiveness, alcohol/drugs impairment, lack of experience, improper steering technique, faulty brakes, etc
7-10% of all road fatalities are linked directly to an excess use of speed... teach drivers how a car actually behaves, rather than making us look at our speedos every 10 seconds. there's such a paranoia about speeding.
(p.s. to all you trolls, im not saying that there shouldn't be speed laws or that it doesnt kill, my brother was killed by an oncoming speeder, but im saying that driver education and skills building should be a much much much higher priority)
I realize many people are annoyed about speed cameras (such as faulty ones or ones located right at the bottom of hills) and in some cases I agree they are used to mainly make money.
But the point of this ad is to get people to stop speeding on long regional roads and to stop making excuses for *excessive* speeding. In Australia, without fail, there are always a few of these accidents around holiday seasons (Christmas, New Years Eve, Easter etc) and in many cases a major cause is speed.
More factors to accidents than speed. Driver error, control of a vehicle & unthinking pedestrians crossing the road. 40 km zones are unworkable. 50 km zones with grace 3 km over the limit.

@robinhood2be when i was in yr 11 i did a compulsory driver education course at school i think everyone in the state or maybe australia did but i think its pretty much drilled into our heads that speeding kills but i dont think it will ever stop young drivers speeding
@blacklabel416 I always love it when somebody comes along and says this. By the majority of the public I'm going to assume you're excluding yourself, because you're basically The Stig or Schumacher or something.
@wuzzlevideos Nice assumption, did I claim to be? How many times a day do you see people doing idiotic things on the road? So far I've never had an accident; while most of my friends have been in some sort of accident at least once or twice. Hell, a kid I know flipped his car at 140 and broke his back. I think I'm entitled to say I'm doing something right.
...and if the majority of the public is too retarded to control a vehicle at those speeds, then that's probably the best argument for having lower speed limits. Laws are made for the majority, not the special few who might be stunt drivers or whatever.
@chungga94 Take a look at the comment from the guy below you to see just how warped some people's minds are. They are childish "WAAAHHHH THE MAN IS TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!!!" - maybe the man just doesn't want to see you smeared over your dashboard.
They want the cameras so that the reckless arseholes that kill people can get caught, then they have more money to stop more people from getting killed. It's not unreasonable to go 40/30 km in a residental/school zone. Would you like to have your kid run over, or would you rather drive a tad bit slower.
I HATE it when I slow down in a residential area, especially in twilight when things get a bit hazy, and some jerk tailgates and leans on his horn. I DON'T WANT TO KILL SOMEONE. That's why I'm slowing down!
The only reason the government wants you alive is so you can pay taxes....Think about that the next time you watch one of these government propaganda videos.
@wuzzlevideos I'm one of what? I made no remarks that would warrant such a response from you...I'm quite confused at your remark. Unless you somehow meant I'm one of the people who are alive that pays taxes??? Yes, you are correct, but my point was directed at the government, not the taxpayers.
You're one of those people that think that the Government is just trying to raise money, without realising that the duty of a government is to protect it's people. I get comments all the time from people who moan about THE GUBBERMENT telling them what to do and how they don't listen to nobody. Those people put themselves at risk by driving like arseholes all the time, and don't understand that maybe, just maybe, someone might know better than they do.
@wuzzlevideos You have to keep in mind that on the highways, it's not speed that kills, but mostly the risky (not fast) driving by unexperienced, old, sleeping, (female*cough*), drunk or otherwise incapable drivers. And exactly THAT is the place where the police checks for few km's too fast. In city's, I agree completely with you. But everyone knows that they check speed mostly at highways, while city's and country roads are most killing. It's simple how capitalism works. But na, works at least!
and the reason why there are always gonna be heaps more crashes and deaths each year is coz of what i said in my last message,Thousands of people get there licences each year so thats gonna mean more deaths
they say speed kills yes its dose but,its the drivers who CANT drive who cause the crash,maby if this fucking shit goverment made people do a defensive driving course then maby they could keep the toll down,and another thing what really fucking pisses me of is the goverment seams to FORGET HOW MANY PEOPLE GET THERE LICENCE EVERY YEAR!!!!!! How many people are moving to Australia,so that means more people more cars,more deaths,they just make up bullshit so they can keep making millions of people!
Not accurate? I'd say the problem for most arseholes on the road is that they are TOO accurate. Then people start bitching and whining instead of just taking some fucking responsibility.
People wouldn't win court cases if they were "TOO accurate" would they? Cops can keep stuffing their pockets with dollars, and you can keep your head in the sand, and the roads will keep going to shit. But thanks for your interest anyway. Fucking cop-cock-sucking loser.
I wish I could give fines out to people who make stupid comments! Isn't driving under the speed limit an offense? Impeding the flow of traffic doesn't sound like good advice dickhead! Human error is a fact of life, we pay through the ass for it, yet cops seem to get a free pass - always above the law. Notice there's more comments of complaint than praise? We can't all be wrong Ranger HoBag.
@pokinfish ...when you have an accident ,i hope you survive ......so i can laugh at you in your neck brace and wheel chair ,i have no respect for arseholes like you, i just hope you only maim yourself ........hey youd make a great candidate for the Darwin Awards btw
Speeding is objective and something the cops can make revenue by. Speed itself doesn't actually kill. Bad driving, lack of attention, and inadequate stopping distance kills, the speed just compounds the issue.
When TAC starts educating drivers about being courteous, leaving a good braking distance, using their indicator and not cutting people up, then I might start listening about slowing down.
the thing is with speed, its not just about you doing the right think, its about everybody doing the right thing, and there is always going tobe somebody doing the wrong thing, and if your speeding and somebody else does the wrong thing that speed can be the factor between life and death
@sexualastronaut You've just made some good points about what causes accidents and then said speed compounds them - which is true. So why then would you keep speeding? You might never cause an accident yourself, but you may be involved in an accident that another motorist has caused. You could make your injuries a lot worse by going faster than you need to. Having said this, I also acknowledge that speed limits often do seem arbitrary and going too slow can also cause accidents.
Drag the indignant woman at 25" ("I can't believe I was doing 119..") along to the scene of the mangled bodies in the mangled car SECONDS later. (Spot the connection, love?)
If you were doing 119, your speedo probably showed 130, so wake up!
Cops are far from perfect but if I'd had to deal with this carnage, I wouldn't be too lenient on speeding drivers either. Copper I know once told a motorist, "I'm not booking you just for speeding; I'm booking you because you didn't see me (or much else)"
cuz they've got sticks in the ares thats why cops are their to make sure we see the next day. just people who got a fine for speeding or drink driving don't get that
I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this but the passing car at 0:30 is one of the cars involved in the crash. If the guy they'd already pulled over hadn't been speeding they could have stopped that car and therefore the crash from even happening. Though I suppose that's the way it happens sometimes.
SUV's are safer for their occupants in lower speed crashes, but upwards of about 50mph it doesn't matter what you're driving. SUV or not, you're pretty much screwed.
twat...i wasnt alking about that was i i was pointing out that people dont need offroaders as most people buy them just for safety but the thing is if no one had an suv then the people you crash into dont come off as bad... also you (and them) would just be as safe because no car would have the compatability problem.
No need for insults - I wasn't disagreeing! I agree SUVs are really bad when they collide with cars - their bumper usually ends up at head height, for one thing.
What I was adding is that people THINK they're safe in a SUV, when they completely aren't. They ARE being selfish, as you say, but it does them no good, as I say. We're both right.
Yes, that's an intelligent comment. What'd they do? Give you a ticket for no reason when you were going 83 in a school zone? Arrest you when you were "Walking down the street, minding your own business?"
Bring back that ad. Those of you that think speeding is ok, listen up. Yep that ad was all acting. BUT it is EXACTLY what happens. I know exactly how those cops felt (or would have if it had been real). I've been there seen that. Done what they were doing. You never ever get over it. Yeah sure both cars colliding doing 100 MAY have had the same result. BUT if both cars were doing 100 then the car, as mentioned that crossed over doing 120 wouldn't have had to take the bend wide. Think about it...
Well said mate. There are some things you never get over in the job. I recall booking a driver for 20 over at 6pm, then signing their body in at the morgue at 9. The speedo was stuck at 116km/h. It was an 80 zone. Speed Kills.
i cant say i like highway patrol due to the pigheaded minds most of them have BUT
i do respect the fact that not only are u trying to save lives, your also doing your job, but u cant say to me that in ur time being a copper, that u havent screwed sumone for nuthing, maybe not you but sum1 on your force!!!!!!!!!
Whn you do a burnout, you have no control of your car. This is because your wheels are on a thin layer of liquid rubber, coming off your tyres. This results in no traction.
don't fool yourself, speeding isn't the major cause of accidents on the road, let's get a tougher license test that really slims down the number of drivers on the road that can't handle the car they are driving
These people that make these ads and road rules have no idea. The truth is that to get a car license all you have to do is drive by the road rules. When are they going to realise it's not speed that kills but the experience of the driver behind the wheel. The government should be putting more money into driving education and our roads to reduce road toll. Because lets be honest booking people for speeding and having there cars taken off them is not going to save lives.
How can you tell the accident was due to speeding? If speeding caused crashes every F1 driver would be dead. It was probably caused by a distraction within the car or a microsleep which will have equally deadly consequences at 80kph and 120kph.
Wuzzlevideos maybe you should stop being so brainwashed by the idiots in our transport departments who chose in the summertime as a theme song, a song which encourages drink driving and doing 125kph.
No I disagree with you most accidents are caused due to human error. Human error is not speed, unless of course the speed limit is being broken by a grossly excessive amount. Most accidents are due to drink driving, distractions within the car, drivers not scanning far enough down the road for hazards.
And I have already heard you say you aren't brainwashed but merely like the adds so sorry for that haha
I was a little strong in replying. Sorry. I quite like your comments! Do you subscribe to the theory of "safe speeding" and "unsafe speeding" depending on conditions?
Yeah no worries. That pretty much sums up my view on speeding "depending on the conditions"
It is hard to teach this theory through ads but if they were to make an ad saying drive at the speed for the conditions of the road you would get a bunch of reckless shmucks doing 200kph up and down our freeways.
Although I bang on a bit about defensive driving that is why i think it is essential as driving skills and accident avoidal techniques can only be taught by experienced driving instructors
These ads probably have some succes in improving road saftey by preaching the perals of drunk driving, microsleeps etc.
But i wonder do we really produce safe competent drivers by making them fear exceeding the speed limit by 5 kph or 10kph thus watching the speedo more than the road as soon as they go downhill, or as soon as they see a speed camera?
Regarding your comment safe and unsafe speeding would be a fair, effective way to help imrove road saftey though hard to preach and enforce.
F1 Drivers are trained to go at insurmountable speeds, and they race single file, there is no racing like there on a road, were their is traffic coming the other way.
I am an interstate truckie and the actions I see on the road defy belief. From other heavy vehicle drivers and motorists. What is it going to take to stop the carnage. PLEASE THINK WHAT YOU ARE DOING..
Argh I accidentally deleted some guys comment. He was asking about the advert where you see people after accidents with pins in their head etc. This is called "Negatives" and it's by Queensland Transport - it was one of the first adverts I uploaded, check my channel. Sorry for accidentally deleting your comment!
I'll have police over Fixed speed cameras any day, in the UK our problem is the opposite, offenders have figured out that as long as you memorise and rapidly slow down right in front of a fixed camera, speeding back up again as soon as you're clear, you don't get a ticket, The governments stats show speeding is going down, so aren't deploying police anymore.
A lot of us in the UK envy you Aussies for still having a viable police force.
who the first person you call when your house has been robbed,car stolen or some drugged up nut case is at your door,a guy bashing his wife and kids or some you know has just been raped,you still going to hate cops then?
Revenue raising? You have no idea what you're talking about. These are police who apply much more generous tolerances and have the ability to exercise discretion. They're not some camera on the side of the road. This sort of accident can be a monthly occurance. Stick to topics you have a clue about.
Absolutely agreed. It's also important to realise that there are good cops AND bad cops. Most cops won't pull you over for doing 35 on a road that's 30 if there are no other cars or people around. That doesn't mean you have carte blanche to push the envelope more. A camera doesn't exercise that discretion. Further more, they place them in stupid places clearly meant to catch people out.
This stuff is to try an convice the public that Cops are doing us all a favor. Load of Bullshit - It's nothing more than a means to justify revenue raising. Scare campaigns like these are all very clever marketing tactics from the Government. Only good cops are the ones solving real crime NOT revenue raising.
Most cops need to take a course in communications skills....I haven't met a cop who wasn't an abslute smart arse.....and No...I don't have any speeding fines or convictions.
While I agree with you that some of the road safety bullshit is clearly meant for revenue generation (see the speed camera situation here in the UK for evidence of that), you can't argue that it's good to let people speed or be drunk, driving around killing people though, surely?
Bullshit dont be so ignorant. I live in country Victoria and I can name at least 10 kids that I went to school with that died in car accidents, Its a huge problem here & people just dont seem to get the message.
Well no, this has nothing to do with cops. They are the focal point of the ad, but not the main message. They are the ones who see that crap (with the ambos and fireys)often. The message is: Speeding is never ok!
You know, maybe they (Police)are giving back what they get from you. If your day was full of assholes, pain, endless bullshit from people you have sworn to help, death and all kinds of suffering, then Im sure you wont be all peaches and cream when you come across a driver that thinks that an extra 20kmh in a 110 zone is ok because 'I know this road'

So I guess the message is; if you're going to cross onto the wrong side of a rural road at a blind corner, make sure you're going no faster than 100km/h when you do so?
It's saying that if you're speeding you have problems controlling your car and if you hit something, you hit it hard. I'm assuming the driver lost control and careened into the other car.
shit i feel real bad for the cops, ambo and fire worker, the crap they have to put up with because of morons on our roads, but did any1 notice it was the same green car that the old dude pointed out?
Does anyone else find it ironic that the car they didn't pull over was the one that crashed. He was probably watching the police in the rear vision mirror and lost concentration.
that looks like the same guy that died in christmas eve, christmas day. doesn't this guy EVER learn?

...and if the majority of the public is too retarded to control a vehicle at those speeds, then that's probably the best argument for having lower speed limits. Laws are made for the majority, not the special few who might be stunt drivers or whatever.

@BanPhotoRadar
They want the cameras so that the reckless arseholes that kill people can get caught, then they have more money to stop more people from getting killed. It's not unreasonable to go 40/30 km in a residental/school zone. Would you like to have your kid run over, or would you rather drive a tad bit slower.

I HATE it when I slow down in a residential area, especially in twilight when things get a bit hazy, and some jerk tailgates and leans on his horn. I DON'T WANT TO KILL SOMEONE. That's why I'm slowing down!

I get comments all the time from people who moan about THE GUBBERMENT telling them what to do and how they don't listen to nobody. Those people put themselves at risk by driving like arseholes all the time, and don't understand that maybe, just maybe, someone might know better than they do.
wuzzlevideos 1 year ago 6
@wuzzlevideos You have to keep in mind that on the highways, it's not speed that kills, but mostly the risky (not fast) driving by unexperienced, old, sleeping, (female*cough*), drunk or otherwise incapable drivers. And exactly THAT is the place where the police checks for few km's too fast. In city's, I agree completely with you. But everyone knows that they check speed mostly at highways, while city's and country roads are most killing. It's simple how capitalism works. But na, works at least!

they say speed kills yes its dose but,its the drivers who CANT drive who cause the crash,maby if this fucking shit goverment made people do a defensive driving course then maby they could keep the toll down,and another thing what really fucking pisses me of is the goverment seams to FORGET HOW MANY PEOPLE GET THERE LICENCE EVERY YEAR!!!!!! How many people are moving to Australia,so that means more people more cars,more deaths,they just make up bullshit so they can keep making millions of people!

Salami040 2 years ago
Speeding is objective and something the cops can make revenue by. Speed itself doesn't actually kill. Bad driving, lack of attention, and inadequate stopping distance kills, the speed just compounds the issue.
When TAC starts educating drivers about being courteous, leaving a good braking distance, using their indicator and not cutting people up, then I might start listening about slowing down.

the thing is with speed, its not just about you doing the right think, its about everybody doing the right thing, and there is always going tobe somebody doing the wrong thing, and if your speeding and somebody else does the wrong thing that speed can be the factor between life and death
Reubenparkin 2 years ago
@sexualastronaut You've just made some good points about what causes accidents and then said speed compounds them - which is true. So why then would you keep speeding? You might never cause an accident yourself, but you may be involved in an accident that another motorist has caused. You could make your injuries a lot worse by going faster than you need to. Having said this, I also acknowledge that speed limits often do seem arbitrary and going too slow can also cause accidents.

If you were doing 119, your speedo probably showed 130, so wake up!
Cops are far from perfect but if I'd had to deal with this carnage, I wouldn't be too lenient on speeding drivers either. Copper I know once told a motorist, "I'm not booking you just for speeding; I'm booking you because you didn't see me (or much else)"

I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this but the passing car at 0:30 is one of the cars involved in the crash. If the guy they'd already pulled over hadn't been speeding they could have stopped that car and therefore the crash from even happening. Though I suppose that's the way it happens sometimes.

jaffacake1578 2 years ago
No need for insults - I wasn't disagreeing! I agree SUVs are really bad when they collide with cars - their bumper usually ends up at head height, for one thing.
What I was adding is that people THINK they're safe in a SUV, when they completely aren't. They ARE being selfish, as you say, but it does them no good, as I say. We're both right.

Yeah sure both cars colliding doing 100 MAY have had the same result. BUT if both cars were doing 100 then the car, as mentioned that crossed over doing 120 wouldn't have had to take the bend wide.

These people that make these ads and road rules have no idea. The truth is that to get a car license all you have to do is drive by the road rules. When are they going to realise it's not speed that kills but the experience of the driver behind the wheel. The government should be putting more money into driving education and our roads to reduce road toll. Because lets be honest booking people for speeding and having there cars taken off them is not going to save lives.
austina40ute 3 years ago
How can you tell the accident was due to speeding? If speeding caused crashes every F1 driver would be dead. It was probably caused by a distraction within the car or a microsleep which will have equally deadly consequences at 80kph and 120kph.
Wuzzlevideos maybe you should stop being so brainwashed by the idiots in our transport departments who chose in the summertime as a theme song, a song which encourages drink driving and doing 125kph.

FYI, your F1 comparison is fucking retarded on an amusing level. There's a reason those cars are built well, and safety gear is worn.
PS: I'm not brainwashed, I just happen to think adverts are quite cool.
wuzzlevideos 3 years ago
No I disagree with you most accidents are caused due to human error. Human error is not speed, unless of course the speed limit is being broken by a grossly excessive amount. Most accidents are due to drink driving, distractions within the car, drivers not scanning far enough down the road for hazards.
And I have already heard you say you aren't brainwashed but merely like the adds so sorry for that haha
m86ichael 3 years ago
I was a little strong in replying. Sorry. I quite like your comments! Do you subscribe to the theory of "safe speeding" and "unsafe speeding" depending on conditions?
wuzzlevideos 3 years ago
Yeah no worries. That pretty much sums up my view on speeding "depending on the conditions"
It is hard to teach this theory through ads but if they were to make an ad saying drive at the speed for the conditions of the road you would get a bunch of reckless shmucks doing 200kph up and down our freeways.
Although I bang on a bit about defensive driving that is why i think it is essential as driving skills and accident avoidal techniques can only be taught by experienced driving instructors
m86ichael 3 years ago
These ads probably have some succes in improving road saftey by preaching the perals of drunk driving, microsleeps etc.
But i wonder do we really produce safe competent drivers by making them fear exceeding the speed limit by 5 kph or 10kph thus watching the speedo more than the road as soon as they go downhill, or as soon as they see a speed camera?
Regarding your comment safe and unsafe speeding would be a fair, effective way to help imrove road saftey though hard to preach and enforce.

Revenue raising? You have no idea what you're talking about. These are police who apply much more generous tolerances and have the ability to exercise discretion. They're not some camera on the side of the road. This sort of accident can be a monthly occurance. Stick to topics you have a clue about.
coasten 4 years ago
Absolutely agreed. It's also important to realise that there are good cops AND bad cops. Most cops won't pull you over for doing 35 on a road that's 30 if there are no other cars or people around. That doesn't mean you have carte blanche to push the envelope more. A camera doesn't exercise that discretion. Further more, they place them in stupid places clearly meant to catch people out.

This stuff is to try an convice the public that Cops are doing us all a favor. Load of Bullshit - It's nothing more than a means to justify revenue raising.
