This one in particular, anybody know whereabouts this was filmed? Or know the actors involved?

  1. The DOE ruined Man of the World for me.

    Also just remembered the classroom one, holy fuck that was wild haha

  2. I went to the Movie House one Sunday evening and instead of showing adverts for random shit before the feature presentation, it just showed all of the drink driving adverts back to back.

    I can’t even remember the movie I was going to see, but that was horrendous

  5. I was literally just thinking about these the other day. Bring them back to scare the bejesus out of some of these kids who think driving like a mong is a good idea

  6. That Body To Body one is the first one I seen, still remember it it vividly.

    “3 dead in this vehicle. The girl is critical. They said the guy without the seatbelt did the damage.”

  7. The Kiwis have some mad ones as well. Lot of road deaths in New Zealand.

  8. They need to bring these back with the state of driving standards, especially amongst young fellas. Have seen a few on Netflix recently (cos I’m a tight bastard who won’t pay for the ad free version) but they’re not hard hitting when they really need to be

  9. As if cars didn’t scare me enough. My wife’s son died in a car accident years ago. He was a passenger. I would hope to God she never sees this.

  10. The one that really changed my life, was learning that even if my mates called me a tube for not smoking, I could just say “Aye, dead on.”

  12. They don’t show that stuff over the water in England Scotland and Wales,they played it one night by mistake and had hundreds of complaints about cunts being traumatised.

  13. The one with the school kids getting flattened will always haunt me, on an associated note one of my uni housemates last year was in one of the old road safety ads

  14. Traumatised no. The class picnic one is unintentional comedy gold

  16. Those absolutely terrified me.

    There was one with a kid playing football in his garden and getting taken out by a car that flipped into the garden. The dad ended up carrying the kid’s body up the garden, screaming. Absolutely haunts me decades later.

    I mentioned this to a coworker and got told I was too sensitive. I had to remind them I was a literal child when I saw that specific ad, and still got told that I was being too sensitive and I should have known that it wasn’t a real event to get traumatised by.

  17. Last year saw [record high](https://www.psni.police.uk/about-us/our-publications-and-reports/official-statistics/road-traffic-collision-statistics) road deaths, with 71 deaths, up from 55 the previous year. This year is on track to match last year, we are averaging a road death every five days.

    The vast, vast majority of the deaths are drivers and mostly men. All motorcyclist deaths are men. Speeding, drugs, alcohol and mobile phones are without doubt the biggest cause of totally avoidable deaths on our roads.

  18. In terms of the actors – the lad’s father when they are showing the parents the body is Pascal Scott. Played the guard in Killinascully

  19. Having had the misfortune to witness and be at the scene of a fatal road accident many years ago, just imagine this scene and there’s many minutes before the emergency services turn up. This advert is horrific, but very accurate!

  20. Or if you’re like me, completely desensitised to the point of finding them funny because of how over the top they were!

  21. As a kid yeah they were pretty wild (except I kinda fancied the young lad in that one).

    As an adult they’re just so OTT that they’re funny, ESPECIALLY the classroom one.

  22. I remember staying up past my bedtime one night and watching [this advert](https://youtu.be/nsEMughpBAo?si=bAzie6mZndVTTIZI) with the teddy bear flower arrangement on the girl’s coffin. Then I went to bed and had a dream about my wee cousin arranging a funeral for his pet goldfish. So apart from being a cautious driver in adult that’s the only impact that the adverts had on me…

  25. I remember auditioning for one of these.
    The afternoon consisted of waiting outside a room and hearing people scream their heads off in a sports hall til it was your turn to go in, contort yourself around some chairs and scream your head off.

    We weren’t even told what the ad was gonna be for.

  26. Do we think these worked? Obviously shocking material, but do you think it translated into people changing their behaviour?

  27. In years to come we’ll be traumatised by the memories of people constantly bringing these adverts ip.

  28. Live pause has really shown how well these are made too. The car rolling over the kids is seamless.
