Wow! If that was an ad against it I'm sure it would have quite a profound affect on some people though others would probably still think "it won't happen to me."

my bloody sound card doesn't work atm - but from what i saw... that had an effect on me! makes u think twice doesn't it? i think they should make graphic ads similar to that and show the real tragedy of speeding/talking on phone/texting/drink driving etc etc

yeah you'd lose some of the effect with not having sound but it'd still be there.
