Emil Drápela CZECH ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGNS ANALYSIS
Why road safety campaigns? Driving: 10% car 30% road 60% driver How to change drivers? How to appeal on them?
Shock Campaigns e.g. Think or Pay • Massive shock campaign focused especially on drivers under 25. • 5 TV spots, internet and press campaign, interactive website • short-term effect
Educative Campaigns TheAction • „Theextraordinary show forevery novice driversandthosewhowillbecome a driver in future. Picturesofrealroadaccidents not painted pink. Storiesofrealpeopletheirliveswherechanged in fewfatedseconds. Thereis no happyend in these stories. They are not a part of a film or a computer game. Therehavesomething in common – theycanhappenanytime to anybody. Thereis no applauseduringthis show.Thevisitors are mostlysilent. Thisis not a theatre performance. Thisis not a fiction. Thisis ... TheAction.“
Educative Campaigns The Action • Live show for novice drivers • Oriented on emotions • Still remains feeling of show, theatral performance
Educative Campaigns Let’s make a deal! • focused on young drivers against drink driving
Educative Campaigns Let’s make a deal! • supported by breweries (responsible drinking), popular music groups… • Informative character • Not applicable for speeding problem
What I missed? SPEEDING • The most important issue to solve • Problem with appropriate speed – the driver „always know better“ how high it is • Issue hardly to change by campaigns – behavioural shift is needed • Friendly advice approach
Road safety campaigns • Geographical/mentality dimension • Emotional dimension • Time dimension • Road safety campaign have to be made for specific conditions of every state.
The most important message: Normal is to drive carefully, to respect speed limits. Speeding is the most frequent reason of accidents, your first fault can be your last fault.
