They really should use shock tactics like this in the UAE. This is horrific!

Yeah the British police uses this as information video.

Very effective. Should be worldwide.

Most people who drive recklessly here or use cellphones have a false sense of machismo. So showing such videos to them will not work, as they will claim they are skilled enough to text and drive. More than once, when I have asked a Pashtun taxi driver to slow down, he started raving on how Pashtuns are a race that fears no one and so they drive recklessly (unline Indians and westerners who they consider cowardly drivers...)

You should see some of the ones they use around Christmas time to warn people against drink driving - absolutely awful.

But I think these are god tactics, because some people will never learn until they see the possbile consequences of their actions.

In many of the UK ones they use actual police footage of car wrecks.

good campaign.

In the past UAE and Oman used to publish such pictures in local papers. very horrific pictures. I remember seeing one pic with the camel fully inside a car and legs sticking out.
