IF YOU DRINK, DON’T DRIVE! / SE BEBER, NÃO DIRIJA!

I have just received this video and it made me think about how many lives are lost mainly among young people, so I decided to post it now! Two years ago Brazil instated a zero tolerance policy on drunk driving. Even so 35.000 people died in car accidents last year. So, if jail and fines won’t catch people’s attention, what will? Watch the amazing and creative video below to know the answer, and spread it around (don't forget to turn the i-pod off, on the right column!)

Eu acabei de receber este vídeo, que me fez pensar em quantas vidas são perdidas inutilmente, na flor da juventude, então resolvi postá-lo. Há dois anos o Brasil implantou a lei de tolerância zero contra beber bebidas alcoólicas e dirigir. Apesar disso, no ano passado 35 mil pessoas morreram vítimas de acidentes de trânsito. Então, se nem as pesadas multas nem as possíveis penalidades conseguem chamar a atenção dos motoristas, o quê conseguirá? Assista ao ótimo e criativo vídeo abaixo para saber a resposta, e espalhe-o entre os seus amigos, principalmente entre os mais jovens (não se esqueça de desligar o i-pod, na coluna da direta!).

Thanks Robert! Yes, I liked it too!
So, please, spread it around...it's a drop into the ocean, but is always worthwhile! Have a nice weekend (already???!!!)

What a creative way of driving (pun intended) the message home. Here, in the US, car accidents are the leading cause of death among young people. It's so sad to see so many lives lost to such a frivolous thing.

Hi Marty! Yes, I agree with you! And you know, here too car accidents are the leading cause of death mainly among young people. Yes, it’s so sad and we have to do everything to stop it, or at least minimize the number of deaths! So, please, spread it around, ok? Have a nice and "safe" weekend!

Agree with Martin.
I even lost a very good friends a few years ago. The cause is drinking while driving.:(

HI Fazrul, nice to see you here again! It's always a pity to lose lives in that way, especially young ones...At this age they think that they can everything, they don’t have limits. It’s our duty to try to teach them how to drive safe, for their own security and for other’s.
