Title: Seat Belt Ad
Post by: Billy in Va on November 22, 2012, 12:27:22 pm

This is the new "wear your seat belt" ad the UK is doing - started by some dude not hired to do it, but because the cause is important to him, he came up with this idea, and now it's being hailed across the world as a "beautiful" commercial.
...And now the video has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the world in a very short time.
Check out this remarkable ad.

Same here in Scotland Russ and three penalty points on your license, as it is for using a mobile phone whilst driving. Good idea, enough clowns on the roads as it is. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(.

Adding to that Billy to make things worse, you will still get a ticket for using the mobile even if you are parked up but you still have the engine running. Once you collect 12 points on your license you lose it for a year.

It is compulsory here in Australia to wear a seat belt not sure how many points you lose if your not, but I guess the greatest penalty is death if you have an accident.

It is illegal to even hold a phone when you are in the drivers seat even if you are not talking or texting, down here.

great movie, and the message is so true!

and to the cell phone penalty:
hands free calling with a car kit is allowed, calling with the phone in your hands cost you about $ 290!
