I wish I'd done that! - The Most Beautiful Seat Belt Commercial Ever



Over the years, there has been thousands of commercials attempting to scare everyone into using their safety belts. Most rely on fear of a police citations or on graphic images of injuries and death to convey their message.

This slow-motion TV spot from the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership, takes a completely different (and very creative) approach on the subject. When you break it down to it's simplest form, the commercial has great lighting, music and a typical family you can relate to. There are no special effects, driving scenarios, or even a vehicle.

This spot takes what seems to be a family-game-night and turns it into a heart touching, highly effective message - Embrace Life.
