Children... so many children... so one or two will be hit in front of the others.
Out in the nature... it must happen when they walk back.
The car drives and they are still in nature?
He is going to hit a stone wall? But what about...
...oohh, they hear him so he must be close, will they just watch the accident from a distance?
...HOLY BEARD OF CELESTIA, WTF HAPPENED!?!?!

Yeah I kind of figured it would amount to a play in the street and youll get pancakes kind of thing. Kinda brutal, but what I would expect for a cautionary tale for children from a place like Ireland.

Nope, its not even about something that kids can prevent. Just a you might be fucked and theres nothing you can do.

Yeesh. I mean, Ill be the first to say that speeders suck, but that ad isnt going to have an effect on anyone that already engages in flagrantly reckless behavior. Theyd probably just think its funny or something.

Certainly not appropriate for kids in any way.

Yeah. That was pretty much the point. Over the course of a year that many children die one at a time from running into the road like you were expecting and the commercial decided to show what that would look like if they all died at once instead.

Scary ass, hilarious and depressing PSA's meant for kids are Britain's jam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slJyhOEo-SY

This film was commissioned by the Central Office of Information in order to convince kids not to do graffiti on railway offices, but the director was told he couldn't actually include graffiti, so his solution was to make kids want to stay off the rails entirely. He made a film about sporting events around the railroad tracks. Guess what happens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_J6_O4bn0s

This COI film is meant to educate kids about the importance of farm safety. Its not in the right aspect ratio, though.

Here's a minute-and-a-half piece about the dangers of pools of water.

Maybe, but it shouldn't be flagged "for kids" then, because the warning has nothing to them considering the kids in the video were just sitting around having a picnic and not wandering into the road.

It's a public safety commercial that's meant to shock people. Ads like this, at least when I was younger, tended to air around 6pm-8pm - so basically dinner time.

Flagging a PSA, no matter how tasteless and intentionally shocking, goes against what that PSA is going for.

Then again, given that the target audience are drivers - who are anywhere from 16 to 80+ - I guess I can see why there's a case for age restricting this, at least on Kids YouTube. You don't need some 6 year old stumbling across a commercial where his demographic get crushed to death by a car.

12 and up, through, I don't have a huge issue with this video not being age restricted. A part of these PSA's function is to scare kids, who'll hopefully pester and guilt their parents into obeying road laws more stringently.

Welcome to what is basically our punishment for youtube's failure. Happened around decemberish last year if you recall the whole COPPA thing. If it's flagged for as kids it's non-monetized, no comments, can't be played in the miniplayer. Was supposed to also hide the like/dislike, but I see them there.

Yes, it screwed a lot of channels/vids up. Btw I remember some pointing out the system randomly flagging southpark bits for kids, because ya know... FOR THE CHILDREN.

I forgot my response to the vid. I did not see that coming, but yeah the rate at which the car tumbles is comedic. I get the message they're trying to convey, but the morons are gonna be morons until it happens to them, then they'll either continue to be morons or face the regret.

I lived in England for a couple of years and speeding on their roads is actually a big deal. A ton of the roads are narrow as hell, not straight, lined by tree walls and deep ditches, and have a ton of blind turns. Not going the speed limit carries a lot more risk as opposed to the states where going 60 in a 50 might just get you a warning because you can see everything for miles.

Well somewhat unintuitively most wrecks especially fatal wrecks are caused by sober speeding.

Now you're far far far more likely to both speed and wreck while DUI but the sober drivers vastly outnumber the drunk ones to the point where they cause the most accidents.
