they would never let the networks here in qld show the denmark add.

if ppl r soooo offended by using red pens imagine the shit fight that would follow after seeing all those accidents on tv again and again and again.

The pinky one is nsw rta im pretty sure, those are vic tac ads, there is a couple of worse ones like when a chick gets thrown through a windscreen and another where a car gets rapped around a tree but i couldnt find those.

Dont know why they stopped using them.

Because if everyone stopped speeding they wouldn't have enough revenue for the government.

..... :D .... thats a shock. they should of used that in schools. graphic contents always hits home. makes people really think about draggin the next car they see. or goin sideways around a corners, who know's whats around there. bring on granny driving

its mostly about pedestrians not paying attention, car accidents while speeding and not speeding kill a few hundred a year ,im not sure on the exact numbers but its definately way under 1000.

in sydney the peak hour afternoon news updates always has a "Pedestrian down". Every single day, thats one city alone. If somebody looked into it i recon their is more careless pedestrian deaths than car accident deaths (let alone speeding or p plater related deaths)

f**k those ads sent shivers down my spine. A real wake-up call that you always got to drive safe. I'm on my Red P's and have been driving like a granny as of late, but I used to drive a lot more erratically. Just watching these gives me that sinking feeling in your stomach - imagine in real life if it happened.

Stay safe on the roads!

I think these ads work more for people who have been in accidents as a result of being stupid and later realising that they could have killed someone or themselves.

I'm one of those people, and this collection of ads definitely hits home with me.

    • If the tyres were fitted when new, I wouldn't expect much over 5 years of use. Especially if the car lives outside full time.  If the tyres had been stored under ideal conditions and are being purchased new, I'd fit a set of already 5 year old tyres if I only expected to get 1 to 2 years of use out of them.  I've purchased many a set of new (but quite old) tyres from St George Tyres when I just needed some decent rear tyres to drift on.  Here is a pretty crazy example, can't say I've ever bought 11 year old tyres from them before though lol.  https://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/momo-tyres-245-45-17-outrun-m3-official-product-by-momo-italy.html
    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
