Default WA Slow Down Message

Stumbled across this on youtube - new "Enjoy the Ride" message to slow down:

It actually makes sense...if your in a rush, you will be speeding at least 10 over, stressing about the slow people doing the limit that get in your way....people getting in the way regardless...traffic lights that go red which youd probobly try to run.... feel like you dont know what to do with yourself to get out of traffic...
Been there done that....not going back...

Thats why i love driving past 11pm, no traffic, no consistant red lights...just the cool air and an open road.....chill.....

That video is very well done... I have always said that some of societys "problems" come out during driving.
Watch people as they race to go nowhere...
Talking on the phone in their own little world....
Speeding and tail gating, agression for no reason, lane swapping every 10meters to gain what?

Very well made...

I saw this on tv the other night. I couldn't believe how long it was. I was ignoring it for a while but as it went for longer and longer, I found myself paying attention just to see what the ad was for. I suppose it did it's job!

Well its alot better then NSW ads about speeding.


What is so relaxing about driving in the city? Always looking out for other cars who cannot drive, looking down at your speedo every 3 seconds to make sure you haven't creeped up to 1km/h over the limit incase there is a hidden speed camera ahead.

The only time driving is enjoyable is when there is little to no traffic, and no chance of a hidden speed camera ahead.

if youve driven in the west, and then the east, youd understand how this ad makes more sense there... peak traffic in perth is like 11pm traffic in melbourne...

I try not to get annoyed these days, but when people are blatent and dangerous idiots, its very hard to keep the blood under boiling temperatures.
