Safe driving: Flash Before Your Eyes
Billboards were placed close enough from each other, so that when a car was traveling past them at 100km/h, the effect would result in a flash of images, with the final billboards spaced further apart to reveal the road safety message.

Yeeeaaahhhh, very nice idea indeed...
Just don't know if it works. It's made for you to see it when you're driving at 100km/h... Right! So you'll have to read the message while driving. The message is in 2 billboards, and if you see the images and don't see that, PUFF!
Ahhh, and last but not least, this campaign may even CAUSE some accidents, either you slow down or not. Don't distract drivers, ladies and gentleman... :)
My god, exactly the same image as this. http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/gm_chevrolet_fences just a diffrent message. But the iamgery is exactly the same

Even though it shares similarities with the Chev ad, this is a way better execution.
This simple yet truthful idea is a cool way to use traditional billboards! I'm sure if I was the driver wanted to look at them, I would've had to slow down, which means the ad had worked. Nice work!
Yeah very nice ad!

Chevrolet did it yesterday haha (:
A message about responsible driving, where I drive with 100 km/h looking the wrong way. Come on. Get a grib. That is fucking stupid advertisng...no matter the level of the idea!!!
Yup, I guess it's the intention of the ad agency to create more brain splatters so that they can leverage on the extra media publicity! hahahaa.
The more bodybags, the more effective the advertisement.
"Bowww Wowww"
same idea from chevrolet's ads which were being posted ytd!
* it's not how good you are. it's how good you want it to be *
i like the msg of a life flash..also could aid memory when ur goin to die looking at it
Dead man tells no tale.
"Bowww Wowww"
not bad, not bad.
The only thing that makes a litle noise to me, is that those aren`t flashes of my life. But I like it. More than de Chev ad.
Nice ad! Some people obviosuly can't tell the difference between 2 ideas. This is about death if you don't slow down, the other is about a car brandbeing with you in your life. I know I'd slow down to see this ad, it works! Pat ya selfs on the back!
Ivan. Are you stirring up the pot a bit, posting them close together?
otherwise...
Great idea. But, does it really need to be explained with the 2nd last sign?
>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.
Soon as I saw it i wished i thought of it
dangerous.
Not really... unless you're drunk or can't drive or drive a Fiat. Hahahahahaha
That's great! But i think the Text is to long if you are really to fast. I'd split the "don't let.." message into 2 or 3 charts.
cool
