TAC ads 20 year anniversary montage


Road trauma porn, anyone?

These TAC ads still get to me. They're so graphic, but also so emotionally loaded.

Job well done, TAC. You had ten years practice before I got behind the wheel, and it worked. I'm still alive.

  1. Usually I find the TAC ads very distressing/moving, but I get awfully distracted when they use actors who starred in Round the Twist. See: fishing trip ad, featuring the original Pete (Sam Vanderberg).

  2. I saw today a TAC sign that read "slowing down won't kill you" - what nonsense. It's the somewhat sudden slowing down that DOES kill people.

  3. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THAT AD!

    No shit. I went for the casting call, and they tried to ring me to give me the job but I'd only given them my mobile number and the battery was dead so they gave it to that Round the Twist guy!
