Road Safety Authority: Drink Driving Kills

Embed Video
Drink driving continues to be an issue in Ireland but there is another worrying trend today: a rise in the social acceptance of drink driving. Since 2019, social acceptance of drink driving has risen by 12%, according to RSA.

Using a stark visual metaphor, this campaign challenges the social acceptability of drink driving. It appeals directly to the public to protect their friends, and other road users, by ensuring their friends do not drink and drive.

Our aim with this campaign was to get Ireland talking about how drink driving is creeping back up again. We felt that highlighting society’s role in this rise would be a compelling way to do that.

As much as it is ultimately the individual driver’s choice to drink and drive, we wanted to highlight the important role their friends can play in helping to prevent drink driving.

Through this campaign, we wanted to show a mirror to society and get people to think about how they can play a part in reducing this dangerous behaviour and hopefully motivate them to do so the next time they are around friends or family.

Drink driving, like relationships, is complex, but the public doesn’t engage with complexity. They connect with one clear message that resonates instantly.
