I love how the effect of getting hit by a car is always a Zoom shot in these PIF's

[sirtinycreep]

Simple, but effective.

[sirtinycreep]

Michael Jayston I think.

[sirtinycreep]

Yes.

[sirtinycreep]

Michael Jayston, correct. :)

Of course nowadays, those same ziggyzaggy lines mean "Women's 4X4, Twice Daily, Compulsory Parking Zone" although this change has not yet been acknowledged in the HIghway Code...

"You can't rely on kids to be careful", or adults, for that matter!

[Keltibarian]

These adverts are bullshit.. I'd seen them, yet I still ran out between parked cars to get my football. No cars hit me.... okay, I almost got hit by a cop car... but still, right?

Does anyone remember the (Sparkletts bottled water- I think?) p.s.a. with the little boy and the red car racing through a town made of wooden blocks that crashes into a yellow car? I know it was it was a warning about drinking and driving during the holidays. I've been trying to find it! It might be a California thing..

Are you fucking retarded? At no point does this advert mention speeding at all, it's about not parking right outside school gates so as to restrict visibility. Don't get me wrong, as someone who's still at school, I despise people who speed outside schools, but don't try and dress this PSA up as something it isn't.

At my daughter's school, there are some people who insist on parking on the yellow zig-zags, they got no respect for the School safety zone.

@Feisty1967 They should do one for drivers of the G-Wiz...just in case a child runs into the road...could almost mean certain death for the driver.

[Feisty1967]

Being run over by a Vauxhall Viva, there are better ways to go.

[danglebearing]

St Johns school 2010, 1306 pupils, 26 different languages, 50 to a class, just been rejected for the building better schools for the Future programme.

@FrankieM1974:

The Stig on the school run....

[FrankieM1974]

Not surprised that little lad ended up being skittled outside school. I mean the way that vauxhall viva came round the corner like there was a stuntman behind the wheel!!

You heard the video, do not let any pupils get perminantly expelled or wish to join. And on the occasion that they do replace any expulsions immediently. The numbers must be kepts that way!
