I liked how when the mother drove onto the tracks, she just started screaming and froze. Nothing gets you out of trouble like screaming and locking up!!!

Wow, that was effective. :shock: Gave me butterflies too as I didn't think they'd actually show the train hitting the cars/people. But I guess it's much more effective when you scare the people watching the commercial.

We could definitely use similar ads in the US, we seem to have a lot of idiots roaming the roads and tresspassing upon railroad tracks. Just look what happened in North Carolina the other day. :shock:

Definitely. Seems like most of the time, you have to scare someone into believing anything, especially when it comes to trains.

we seem to have a lot of idiots roaming the roads and tresspassing upon railroad tracks.

"A lot" is an understatement.
