Driving 10km/h less will save lives

Our first commercial to tackle the issue of low-level speeding shows the extraordinary difference driving just 10 km/h over the speed limit can have on a pedestrian.

The motion-controlled camera captures what happens to a body when hit by a car traveling at 70km/h over a breaking distance of 50 meters. Trauma surgeon, Dr.Richard Gilhome, reconstructs what happens to the human body when it's hit by a car, something that he see's all too often in his operating theatre.

Launched: 1997.
