If there is one thing Ireland is very good at, it is making public service announcements that get the point across. Irish government PSA's have always been very blunt and to the point.

Didn't they also make that one ad where like I bunch of elementary schoolers get killed buy a car spinning towards them?

Yup. Dude crashes over a wall and the car rolls over an entire primary school class. Amazingly, they don't even cut before the point of impact, though obviously the "impact" is not actually real and they clearly just got the kids to lie down face-down and then edited the footage of the roll together with it to give the impression that the car was rolling over the kids. But the fact is they still showed a car rolling over an entire elementary school class.

After that aired wasn't there also a massive decrease in reckless driving?
