TAC Campaign - 20 year Anniversary retrospective montage "Everybody Hurts" music by REM TV ad


On December 10th 1989 the first TAC commercial went to air. In that year the road toll was 776; by last year 2008 it had fallen to 303. A five minute retrospective of the road safety campaigns produced by the TAC over the last 20 years has been compiled. The montage features iconic scenes and images from commercials that have helped change they way we drive, all edited to the moving song Everybody Hurts by REM. This campaign is a chance to revisit some of the images that have been engraved on our memories, remember the many thousands of people who have been affected by road trauma and remind us all that for everyones sake; please, drive safely.

"Little Bit Dead" TAC drink driving ad


The number of drivers killed at low levels of alcohol impairment was rising; 37% were found to be between 0.05 and 0.15. By the time a driver reaches 0.05 they are already at twice the risk of crashing. This commercial takes a sarcastic approach to those who believe it is OK to drive only a little bit over. This led to a modification of the original Drink, drive, bloody idiot line.Launched: 2003.

'The Ride' TAC Motorcycle Safety ad


www.spokes.com.au The new campaign reminds riders about the types of risks they are exposed to every time they ride and that no matter who is at fault, it likely to come of second best in the case of a crash. This was to complement its existing motorcycle safety campaign, which had been encouraging riders to wear protective clothing at all times (March 2008) , the TAC wanted to make riders aware of their extreme vulnerability on the road. Market research undertaken by the TAC indicates that are riders underestimate the level of risk they are exposed to and that many ignore the options that can assist them in reducing their level of risk; including riding at a safe speed, wearing protective clothing and being highly visible. http

March 2008, Protective Clothing Campaign For the first time in almost six years, the TAC launched a motorcycle safety campaign promoting the importance of protective clothing for all riders. The ad begins with the aftermath of a motorbike crash at the scene. We then see the victim lying in the operating theatre at the Austin Hospital with a Doctor talking to the audience about the mans injuries and how it could have been prevented. In the background the victim is moaning with pain as the nurses and doctors remove pieces of denim from his wounds. The public education campaign asked riders "What's between you and the operating theatre?". This campaign was developed to highlight the risks associated with riding without the appropriate protective clothing and focuses on two key rider groups; motorcyclists and scooter riders. The ads take on a reality television show feel similar to RPA, beginning with the aftermath of a road crash.
