For once, a public safety commercial I’m actually impressed by. No strong rhetoric or anything, just a display of the facts in a very effective manner. I didn’t even know that you lose so much speed when braking in the final few moments, although it makes sense.

Of course, the real problem isn’t the speeding, it’s that 18-wheeler!

The guy speeding is a moron he could have just turn slightly right and avoided the whole thing.
