With our Govt. funded graphic adverts with emphasis on safer driving practices targeting the young in particular, shouldn't responsible community members expect and demand a consistent , responsible safety message/standard in ALL motor vehicle advertising ?
There are obviously too many in the community who have not witnessed the horror of motor vehicle tragedy first hand. Its gut wrenching trauma and sadness affect all those in the business of attending : ambulance, firefighters, police , hospital medical staff who unavoidably have to confront this reality frequently in their job. Believe me it doesn't get easier the more you attend.
The devastation endured by family members I hope never to face. Pathetically often times we humans only see the light when we are touched personally.
The glossy advertising I abhore depict trendy smart-asked morons pushing the safety envelope , whilst seemingly oblivious to the possibility of something unexpected happening . Heaven forbid another road user incl. cyclist , pedestrian on the road/track impinging on their competitive dream state. These adverts are sending the wrong messages to our young inexperienced and older tryhard adults. Just listen in your neighbourhood and check the rubber marks on the street.
Humans using motor vehicles recklessly in the pathetic belief their exhuberant , grandstanding performance at the wheel compensates for low self esteem should not be encouraged.
Unlike the glossy advertising , believe me , the reality of motor vehicle tragedy is not glamorous.
