Here is a sample of what we see on the tv here in Aus, some are informative and the effects are good.
They are mostly public service adverts, the TAC site is quite good in itself but dont let the kiddies see some of them

We don't have commercials like that here. They want to protect us from seeing things that are that graphic, which ironically isn't helping to reduce things that are that horrible that happen.

Now time to make an inappropriate joke, if they weren't under the influence they wouldn't have been driving on the wrong side of the road in the wrong side of the car.
Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here!

Ah, Trains Planes and Automobiles. A film picked up (on video) one Saturday night (because there wasn't anything else) and starting two of my not particularly favourite comedians . . . I haven't laughed as much for a long time.

By the way, the wrong side is relative.

Watching that video just shocked the hell out of me even though it was super predictable. I knew he was going to get hit by the car but it still shocked me when it happened.

Do they work? I think most Americans would be at a tea party the next day trying to get them pulled.

I just showed the first video to someone and they informed me that we have similar videos in the US. I rarely watch TV on a TV now because i use my computer most of the time so i had no idea.

I only saw the first one, so if they are similar in nature, then here are some from MADD (mothers against drunk driving)

Actually the one done by the Gwent police in Wales was quite graphic, even though they show the ones above here thy would not put this one on

Hence the stupid joke showing slight ignorance.

Don't forget that old joke about the bloke that's driving along and his wife calls him on his cell phone to tell him that some fool is driving the wrong way down the freeway. 'One car' he explodes, 'All of them stupid buggers are driving the wrong way!'
