Brief

Problem:
Every year, thousands lose their lives to speeding-related accidents. Despite countless measures taken by the authorities, motorists remain oblivious to the consequences.

Insight:
Malaysians are more concerned about getting summoned by the police than getting into an accident. When they see a speed trap or police roadblock, they will flash their headlights to warn drivers travelling from the opposite direction

Solution

We sent a group of safety drivers to 10 of the deadliest routes on Malaysian highways, during the holidays. The safety drivers drove throughout the holiday period and flashed their lights at speeding drivers from the other side. They managed to trick them into believing the police were up ahead. To avoid a fine, the drivers who were speeding slowed down and navigated safely through the dangerous routes on the highways.
