Road safety ad

[Mihó]

there was change of regulations in Poland few years ago. Due to according law speed in cities is limited to 30mph (earlier it was about 35 (60kph)). Not every, especially older drivers get used to it. Sometimes examples are needed. I saw English "Think" campaign, which in my opinion is very good and hope - educating. In some of its ads I found movie, in which similar accident was shon. In first case - woman - pedesterian was killed, because of speedin. In second case - she was ok. Can any of you give a link to that movie ?

This few kilometers/miles an hour make difference. in case of accident you will be ashame of yourself, because you couldn't stop tour car. For which reason ? Because you were in a hurry not to be late about 5 mins ? Anyway, you will not find any word to say to mother, whose child you killed.

I am glad, that in some countries road safety is treated as a serious issiue. I consider all of us, who reads this forum as a people, who are automotive-oriented world well. But it is not only technical or driving things. If we want to be responsible drivers, we should take care of first aid. I think, in UK it is also part of driving license course and exam. What about some extra courses ? In Poland there is something like road lifeguard - we are able to help accident victims in that moment before an ambulance and medical help arrives. If you have possibility, take part in something like this. Take to your car first aid kit, hammer to brake glass and razor, to cut seat belts. Hope they won't be used, but be prepared.

Wishing you safe driving
