This video will scare you into driving slower

new zealand driving video

Unlike medication, there are no warning ads that come with your car. The highest road accident fatalities in the world can be found among drivers in the Middle East with Saudi Arabia topping the charts. Care about how your community drives, and your kids? Share this video produced by NZ Transport Agency in New Zealand.

It shows in slow motion what goes through the heads of two men the moment they are about to crash.

Whether you are in Jordan riding in the backseat of a Subaru with no doors, or in Qatar in a luxury SUV, there is no car in this world that can save you from death by auto. Watch the video, and share it. Please. The idea here is that other people make mistakes. Drive cautiously to prevent terrible outcomes.

Walking, cycling and public transport is always the better way to go within cities, if you can.

10 Tips to Stay Safe on the Road

Arab Drifting, Saudi Drifting, or Middle East drifting, known in Arab countries as Tafheet (تفحيط), or Hajwalah (هجولة), is an illegal street racing–like phenomenon believed to have started in the late 1970s that involves trying to "drift" cars.
