A Wordless Reminder

Posted on 1:46 PM by Unknown


Most public service announcements are a little heavy–handed for me — especially, it seems, the ones that are urging people to do a simple, yet smart, thing, like buckling seatbelts.

I guess that is why I appreciate the attached video from the United Kingdom so much. It has a message of value for everyone who drives — or rides with those who do — wherever those roads may be.

And it doesn't have to bludgeon you over the head to get its point across.

My compliments to the person — or persons — who dreamed it up.
