Drug Driving Ad Campaign

I know of no drug that would allow you to be in control of a car and yet at the same time make your eyes look like that!
 
This is ridiculous. I have friends who puke, pass out, act stupid, etc when high. But I have NEVER seen their eyes like that.

Who the hell made this ad? They seem to have no knowledge of effects of drugs whatsoever, or they have found a new drug.

Probably because the sunken yellow rings and the huge pupils are too subtle to get the message across...whereas physically enlarging the eyes does the job...whilst also freaking you out at the same time!
 
My mum saw the ad on BBC news 24 earlier, and she was like "They say your eyes get big if you smoke drugs."

I'm thinking that's a good thing, because no matter how many spliffs I smoke, my eyes will remain the same size, lol. Now she will never know, thanks guys!
 
Watching it again (for the lulz) i think i know where they got the idea from...

Ever seen the Simpsons episode where they think Burns is an alien? But infact, its the DRUGS he's been taking to keep him alive, EXACTLY the same eyes!

But who is it aimed at? People who KNOW the physical changes to their bodys while on drugs - surly someone leaving a party cutting to a scene with a mashed up car planted into a tree would get the message across much better, as with drink driving.
Anyone who takes stimulants knows da fedz would be able to spot the huge pupils if they got pulled over, it's never stopped them drug-driving before. I can't see this changing anything.
 
I think someone somewhere has confused Pupils and Eyes. Don't Eyes stay the same size from birth to death?
 
i have found that people drive safer after they have smoked some herb, the paranoia makes you drive like a disabled 80 year old biddy.

But it wont be long before they have the drug teams out on the road like they do in Australia... my mates in Oz are worried about driving after a joint because they now 'swab' you (as well as breathalise) and say if you smoked a joint or took any other illegal drug recently it will show up instantly in this magic swab.

The people in Australia aren't sure about the legitimacy of this test, but the government still goes ahead with this police state actions, and no doubt we will too.

Sorry, but are you a moron? Or on drugs now?

It's called a dramatic device. If you think eyes actually go like that on drugs then I have serious doubts about the intelligence of society. The point is the pupils **** up, eyes wander off (not to the shops, in the sockets) and you look ******. That wouldn't be noticed as much on tv.

Fingers crossed tbh, you have to be one selfish **** to drive under the influence of any mind altering substance.
