Bam! The Pakistani Safe Driving PSA That Says It All
12:11 PM EST on January 15, 2014
It’s official. Safe driving PSAs made outside the U.S. are far, far better than anything you’ll find in a domestic media outlet. This latest example comes from The Frontier Post, an English language Pakistani news site.
The image, which appears to have been made by the newspaper’s advertising arm, is going viral on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the New Zealand anti-speeding commercial we featured last week is up to almost 7 million views on YouTube. So, perhaps the good news for Americans who are concerned about traffic safety is that messages as strong as these may no longer need a major media platform to reach a large audience.
