Here's a pretty high-concept safe-driving campaign from New Zealand. It centers on a place called "mandom," a giant metaphorical house (visually reminiscent of HBO's Voyeur) where men control everything. But as the narrator tells us, men are not fully in control of one thing—their driving. As he slides down a pole to the basement, where there's an eerie car-wreck scene, he tells us the best way to exert "mantrol" while driving is to recognize the things you can't control, such as the road, the weather and other drivers.
