Those road safety videos posted by antp look pretty real. I jumped a few times (especially the ones involving the young children) very sad ...
Yes. In this case even if you know that it is not real it looks real, and especially there is the story around it. I find that maybe in a way even more "impressive" (not sure of the word in EN) than seeing pictures of real accidents...

I didn't know they showed those hypergore drivers ed films anymore, I thought they were a relic of the 70s (and earlier).
I never had a driver's ed class in school either, although it's not as surprising to hear they still have those.

That's nothing, you won't beleive the kinds of videos they made us watch in driver's ed. The ones we watched were of real people at real crash scences, not like those fabricated ones on those commercials (though I must admit they had good effects) A couple of the driver's ed videos stick in my mind very well (and not in a good way either).
One very disturbing one was of a young lady's pale, lifeless body still lying in the smashed car after she had been literally speraed through the chest with the sterring column of her Chrysler New Yorker when she drifted across the center line on a two-lane 55 MPH road.
Another gory one was of a guy in a tipped over SUV, who's head and skull had actually split open (the passenger compartment of the car didn't hold up too well) and his brains had been spewed out the window and was scattered all over the pavement
They even showed the higway worker picking the little pink peices of guts off the pavement and putting them into a black plastic trash bag. What a job he has...
The thing about those videos though is that they were real crashes, not fake ones, which made it a little more disturbing. It's hard to beleive the destruction a motor vehicle can do to such horrible things human body. Kind of makes me not want to even ride in cars anymore...
If you would like to see what I am talking about, here is a very old version of the video we watched in my driver's ed class, "Siganl 30" (the one we watched was called "Red Asphalt: IV")

It looks to be similar to Snickers from the outside. What is on the inside of it (I could not see from the commercial)

I'm justing thinking about the "music-in-the-car"-thread and so I'm checking a few youtubes.
Am I confused, or could it be a Volvo 343 behind the Jeep at 1:20?

Were the Dutch Volvo's exported to Down Under?
By the way, this song brings me to thinking(hoping) about some vacations (in the far far future)
