Speed ad…
Good Illustration of why ‘safe speeding’ is a fallacy.
YIKES 
8km/h is going to make absolutely no difference in that scenario….
In saying that. On country roads i dont speed, but on highways i will sit on anywhere from 11-130 odd if it is safe to do so and the road allows it.
I just rewatched the vid.
There is no way I would pull out in that situation. Little to close for my liking.
The 8 kphs extra does make a big difference to your stopping distance / time, but as you say Deano, in that scenario it would make no difference.

Oh absolutely, i understand the physics of it. But yeh, not in that situation. There is no way in hell i would have pulled out!
He was too busy lookin at his young bloke in the back seat!!!!! 
But seriously, my number one pet hate is Side Talkers!!!!!
You know the ones!!!!! The drivers that yabber on about what is most likely complete shit, but as they’re doin so, have to look at the occupant of the passenger seat while they’re doin so!!!!!
Maybe they’re checking to see if they haven’t talked the poor bastard into a coma or somethin, I dunno?????
You must talk a fair few people into a coma Miz? 
BOOM!!!
I better bring a pillow to the Boys Spit day then huh Azz
It would have helped if the “speeding driver” applied his brakes before impact.
They show his foot moving to brake pedal and then later impacting without slowing.
Stupid add.
Bad decisions kill, not speeding.
Slow drivers are more dangerous to other road users.
A cop once told me I COULD NOT DRIVE THAT FAST, after being pulled up speeding on a 4 lane freeway, 2km straight road, 2am, going uphill, no traffic, 50km from Goulburn.
Obviously I
could
go that fast.
The only reason he caught up was because I slowed to 120(ish)kmh (4 lanes reduced back to 2).
Maybe he said that because I was going faster in my 45yo car than he could ever catch me in a Holden Rodeo.
His radar clocked me at 136kmh - it was wrong.
Fined for 0-10kmh over - why argue.
I was driving safe and he knew it, I pointed out why my car could safely go that fast and why the road was that safe/ that he was driving his commercial vehicle (no safety rating) faster than it was safe to do so (he almost rear ended me when I was doing 120kmh).
Always assume every other road user is going to make a mistake.
Always assume there are animals wanting to run out.
Always assume there are kids behind parked cars.
Never change how you drive because of the police. Change how you drive to be safe.
In the add above.
If he had of floored his Subaru instead of creeping out from from intersection….
Forester Turbo 0-100 = 5.2 sec.
With speeding Nissan Wagon hard on ABS brakes…
A big rear ender; and that’s if Nissan didn’t brake hard.
You must talk a fair few people into a coma Miz?
I don’t text while I’m drivin!!!!!
Just make Vine vids….....
That was in a controlled environment!!!!!
The car park at work!!!!!
While in reality, that ad is a monumental load of garbage, it’s actually one of the best “speed kills” ads ever made.
Still, that’s not saying much at all, as it’s not exactly up against tough competition. As far as I’m aware, not one single ad in the history of anti-speeding campaigns has genuinely depicted driving at a speed in excess of the posted limit as the actual CAUSE of an accident (this ad included).
The ad does its job though, and it does it very well. That job being to con the gullible into blindly supporting government sanctioned extortion through unjust speeding fine revenue raising.
Incidentally, if the driver of the Nissan wagon had been going much FASTER, he would have passed the intersection before that irresponsible moron pulled his 4WD into his path.
