Pay Attention and Drive Safely. Leave the Speed in the Track

[Hardright]

I saw this video and it bothered me. Changed the way I drive now. If only the guys who put those monstrous video boards along EDSA could for a change post this video for all drivers to see. It would be a great public service. All driving schools should show this to all their new students.

They could also show it in the LTO license renewal centers. So that drivers can see this video while they're waiting for their licenses to be processed.

Interesting take on how seat belts work.

the government should show this vid as one of their informercials, wag na nila baguhin or make their own version, just exactly this one nalang.. No offense to the local government, just a constructive criticism, but sometimes their versions are kinda not effective. One of the infomercials in my own opinion is the DOH one, no impact or maybe the timing is just wrong.. You decide =]

i like the idea of falken. all drivers should watch it while waiting for their license, kesa naka tanga lang dun.

[BratPAQ]

thanks for the video, i'll drive more responsibly now, especially when my 2 kids are on the backseat.

you got it right!

Ganyan dapat pinapalabas sa TV natin... hindi yung mga mukha ng politiko na akala mo concerned na concerned sa atin!

The vid is actually a compilation and it was tastefully done. The buckle-up commercial (wherein two guys crashed into a tree and the one wearing his seatbelt lived), though relevant, seems out of place because of its tongue-in-cheek humor in the end.

maybe we can send an email or forward the video to these agencies (LTO, MMDA, LTFRB) or direct to their top brass.

I think the local media outfits should also produce videos similar to this that is fit to the philippine setting ie: involving buses and motorcycles, the more gruesome and morbid the better, nothing changes a person's actions better than outright fear, they should show it in between wowowee and scare the sh*t out of those irresponsible road users.

hmm, kunting ingat lang talaga,drive safely...pnoh quit na tayo nito mga brow sa race?

[meateater]

Dapat naka loop yan sa loob ng mga bus.

Siguro .reminder ito sa mga baguhan at matagal na nagmamaneho na mabigat pa rin paa sa gas pedal , Basta isipin natin hindi natin kayang ubusin ang kalsada dahil sa bilis natin magpatakbo. Patay na tayo pero iyong kalsada nandiyan pa rin .

speeding should be left in the track

what a touching video. right this should be in the local TV

[scharnhorst]

ang gagana lang sa philippine setting e yung last part nung unang video.

new thing learned today! *moves pinky*

[RedHotBlood]

Right driving education and the governments strong will to prosecute all road violators is very much needed. I wonder when can we have those rescue fleets?

The videos wouldn't work here (especially with the younger drivers) unless it's after the fact and an accident/death had already happened.

Here, what seems to work is traffic cameras and stiff penalties for speeding. Back in AZ, they just completed the installation of traffic cameras.

Penalties for speeding start at $217 for 11 mph over the posted speed limit and just goes up from there. Running a red light or failing to do a complete stop at a red light before making a right turn will cost you $400.

You don't get a traffic stop. You get a court date/statement of fine on the mail (and nice color photos* of the offense and offender) and have a set time to respond. The only time the cops will get involved is when the time is up and they come over to arrest you. No arguing, nothing. You go straight to the slammer.

*Just like this one


Add: The penalties I cited are based from dollar amounts paid by friends who got caught.
