Pay Attention, Drive Safely

Once again it's the holiday period and people are on the roads driving further, longer and less safely than normal. So far this year Australia's road toll has hit 55 and that doesn't include people permanently injured or families and friends affected by the deaths.

Car Advice has posted a video (embedded below) of a series of road safety ads from around the world some of which are quite confronting (I couldn't watch it all the way through on my first attempt) and all with a serious message.

Most show the effects of not paying attention or speeding/overtaking in unsafe areas and are not for the feint hearted but really, anybody who drives a car should watch these and take heed.

It's also interesting to read through the comments people have left on Car Advice after viewing the video with most people praising the videos.
