Why they stopped broadcasting them I'll never understand.
An Irish company produced them, as far as I remember. I don't see why we need to spend thousands on pretty-looking ads that tell people what they already know, and ignore.

Trying to create a better society by implementing fear tactics is almost as bad as trying to educate people by using ignorance.
Shock tactics are just that, a shock without any sort of lesson.
Can you substantiate that?

At the same time, they showed seat belt safety ads. One of them showed in slow motion the movements of the passengers inside the car when struck by an oncoming vehicle. It was also very shock intensive. It may also have been Irish. Not sure. Many more people buckled up afterwards.
