TAC Campaign - 20 year Anniversary retrospective montage "Everybody Hurts" music by REM TV ad

On December 10th 1989 the first TAC commercial went to air. In that year the road toll was 776; by last year 2008 it had fallen to 303.
A five minute retrospective of the road safety campaigns produced by the TAC over the last 20 years has been compiled. The montage features iconic scenes and images from commercials that have helped change they way we drive, all edited to the moving song Everybody Hurts by REM.

This 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 everyones sake; please, drive safely.

This is the sadest commercial i have ever seen

[nik bradač]

This is an incredible commercial, that sent shivers down my spine when I watcht it. Everyone should see this video, and drive carefully , so that no more accidents will occur.

[brad25000]

We would watch this video every other Friday at ft stewart before they realeased us for the weekend off very hard to watch very powerful even to a soldiers eyes

I found this in a website of drunk driver defence attorney he said it was graphic and he doesnt support drunk driving but it could have been more graphic it is a good public service anouncenment but there are cases with cars wrapped around poles and people killed anda women drove the wrong way on the highway and killed 7 people including 2 of her own kids thats 7 counts of manslaughter 63 years in prison

every little thing that ahppens because of human error is an accident. could have been avoided, but it wasn't. An accident.

[Spillage66]

If you have a blowout, you should be experienced enough to gain control of the vehicle. If not, it im[plies that you are driving either too fast, or without due care and attention. If something suddenly blocks your view, and it's not the fault of human error, (ie; a bird, branch etc)... then the same would apply. As is with swerving for an animal, and hitting another vehicle. That's why it's illegal to do so.

[00hasista00]

and you cant blame anyone.

[00hasista00]

but it's unintentional?

[Spillage66]

No.

[00hasista00]

so if your tire explodes or suddenly something blocks your field of view then it's not an accident?

[Spillage66]

They aren't accidents. Accidents infers that it is unintentional or no one's fault or beyond anyone's control. All road traffic collisions are due to neglect.
