This is pretty rough - be warned. Difficult to overstate how shocking this was in 1991.

    Interesting to see that the organisation is still called the Victorian Accident Commission, despite the fact that road safety experts recommend against calling road crashes “accidents”.

    The add seems fine for me, just replace the fight with Cell Phones and you are good to go.

    But in 2023 with all the movies with blood and gore, this being NSFW in 2023 is a bit over kill :) Never mind the fact here is the US we now get see children being shot for real in news casts :( And accidentally showing a certain body part in a sports event, you get banned for life.

      When it launched i think it played full length, but various sections of it were clipped into smaller bits. Think this was national news when it aired the first time? Hazy memories
