8 of the most powerful road-safety adverts

José Santiago

Road deaths and injuries affect millions of people each year. The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on 15 November is a day dedicated to those who have been killed or injured in road crashes, as well as their families, friends and communities. It’s also a tribute to emergency crews, medical professionals and police officers who deal with the tragic aftermath.

In homage to this, we present you with eight award-winning adverts to highlight the rules of the road.
