As people have said, if this was the type of add on TV for safer driving it might have more impact, particularly with such a backing track.

Much better then a grainy beer add trying to limit drinking.

A couple of those circumstances were interesting, the swerve to avoid the dog that ended un the lover squashie embrace is a common occurance, it is or was against the law. You are/were not allowed to deviate from your course to avoid a domestic animal, just for the reason as demonstrated. Having a skyline that handeled or braked instead of a shit box would not have resulted in the same situation.

The other situation was where the fellow was going around the corner to find a broken down car in the lane. Even doing the speedlimit would have resulted in the same outcome there. Goes to prove drive within sighted braking distance, ignore speed limits. Get better tyres and buy a car that brakes (skyline anyone?)

I think this is just a montage of all the best/worst car crash ads

More importantly, buy a car with ABS, Stability Control and Electronic Brake Assist, and learn what they do and how they work. All of the example accidents could of been prevented or at least lessened the damage caused with the use of these aids.

In saying that, Attitude is the most important factor. If everyone had the right attitude, and made better risk assessments, there would be no need for the above aids. But everyone makes mistakes and you would need everyone to pay attention 100% of the time and take note to the techniques that can be used (and more importantly, put into practice). Realistically, never going to happen :D

If each of those cars were travelling only 10kmh faster they would have been down the road past the point of the accident before it even happened...

The lesson here is - travel 10kmh over the limit everywhere to avoid accidents :D

i dont think these adds will be shown in australia cause the government doesn't have the balls to show such graphic stuff. might spark a "public outcry" about how its too graphic and shit.

saw these adds a few years ago as well so its unlikely we'll see these anytime soon.

also not everyone has Tsuchiya levels of driving skill like you Reece haha

or 10km/h under... but we all know this isn't an option

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
