Is the phone video of a kid being run over on the road safety advert real?
Answers:
It's not real. I checked out the official website a while back after wondering the same thing - couldn't find the bit I saw last time but the gist of it was that they got them to perform largely ad-libbed footage (not very good stuff mind you - as was said, all that "pretty in pink" stuff is pretty pathetic) before going to the scripted car accident bit.
Still, it's a pretty powerful way of getting the message across.
nope - but it would be cool if it was.
yes , and they had to do it 4 time's to get it right , and 4 were badly hurt
nope that would make it a snuff movie not so legal
i dont think so
I heard it was, but I spose it the harshest way of getting the message accross. The best way to stop people doing things is to show them the real consequences of their actions. Same as all these smoking ads. When u see a person dying on tele strapped to an oxygen cannister, it shows the reality of it and that it could happen to u just as much as them. Harsh but very very true!

Whether it was real or not it helped get the message of road safety across to my son.
You can't underestimate the value of good road safety..
Unfortunately not. But that only makes it marginally less amusing
Its as real as every other road safety campaign u've ever seen.
Theres no way thats real. Its all too staged. Listen to the kids' conversation. Real kids don't talk like that "Pretty in Pink" and all that!
I think it is. That doesn't look like its been edited in any way.
Ive heard it is real.certainly looks real.
No, absolutely not. I saw them preview it on "Newsround" on BBC1 before it was first shown. I really don't think guidelines which t.v. companies run by would allow a real event to be shown in that way, and I can't imagine parents consenting to it either; it's one thing for one image of your drug o.d. kid to be shown once in all the national newspapers, but another to have it running again and again on t.v. all the time. Can you imagine them taking the chance that they might see it?
Either way it`s got you thinking.
No it's just that made way to be realistic - and it certainly sends the message - look before you cross.
My cousin went on a course for driving without due care and attention and he told me about 2 videos he had to watch - which are banned from being shown on TV - drink driving and boy racers - he said it was sick and defino get the message through.
Yes, I went to the audition! and it damn near killed me!
Are you serious?
gerra life!
