Highways England: Don’t be a Space Invader

The integrated campaign, which is the first by adam&eveDDB for Highways England, has been developed because of statistics showing one in eight of all casualties are caused by people driving too closely to the vehicle in front, with more than 100 people killed or seriously injured in a year. It uses the classic arcade game’s graphics, characters and sound effects, first released by TAITO, a Japanese game manufacturer, 40 years ago in 1978. It carries the tagline: ‘Don’t be a Space Invader. Stay safe, stay back’. The campaign, which also spans outdoor, radio and online film, highlights the dangers and impact of tailgating – driving too close to the car in front – with the aim of reducing accidents and making driving less stressful for motorists. The bumper sticker features Space Invaders’ iconic pixelated enemy alien character to symbolise a car that is tailgating. The bumper sticker acts as a warning to the car behind to stay back a safe distance. In the online film a driver is shown being tailgated by the Space Invaders enemy alien.
