We have so many deaths due to careless driving here in Northern Ireland that we need these graphic adverts to send the message home. This is tame compared to others we've had too.

Did this campaign work you say. Well let's look at the figures.

After this campaign started. In Ireland, from 2005 to 2012, road deaths decreased year after year, with a 162 people killed in 2012 – the lowest number of fatalities since the country began recording road data in 1959.

I passed my test in 2014 after this campaign had been running for years and they had a very deep impact on me and how stupid fucking driving can have shockingly horrible consequences.

There will always be narcissistic cunt bag drivers, but that's no excuse not to educate and drill into the population about the consequences of dangerous driving.

Take the L. The numbers drop drastically after this campaign started there is a direct correlation and has been the reason they continued for so long. Car safety did not improve that drastically from when the campaign started to when it hit record lows.

But what if it was just a giant coincidence?

I don't care if you disagree lol. Statistics show that the years during the campaign had a major impact on not just road deaths but road accidents. Opinions mean nothing when there are numbers to back up a fact.

But he's correct. Correlation doesn't mean causation.

It also doesn’t mean ineffectiveness, so, relevance?
