Buzzed Driving - Stretcher

[ILoveES33]

I hate to say it, but I think the Ad Council needs to take a tack from other countries. Try "Mr. Death" from Australia, (only that one was for driving without a seatbelt on). Or try "Nightmare" also from Australia. Or "Spin The Wheel" & "Under Pressure" both from New Zealand's LTNZ. Or the COI's "Just one more Dave!" from the UK. Much scarrier, but brings the point home better (in my personal opinion).

Ad Council pretty much lets the ads be known. It is the other companies that create the ads and send them to the Ad Council to distribute them. They are the ones that create the PSAs so these guys need to get on the ball and create some serious stuff. not the watered down waste of film we see these days.

Both fatal choices. Fight under-age abuse of alchohoL!

Thats a serious message. 1 person every 40 minutes? people need to stop buzz and drunk driving.

I am under the impression that many of these analogies the AC is using to make their point are quite exaggerated and take away from the serious tone of their message.

Obviously if you drink a beer or two at most you are for the most part - barring any liver condition - not going to be SO impared that you crash into a telephone pole.

@travelsonic -- You are the exact reason these messages are being put on air and online. The point is that when you drink, your reaction times start to slow down dramatically. What you could have stopped for, a turn too tight, a car suddenly stopping, a light that changes too quickly... you might not be able to stop for. When your reaction time slows down, you are putting not only yourself but everyone else on the road in danger.
