VicRoads is reaching out to teens – follow the jump<\/a> for the videos<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nLike it or not, we were all teenagers<\/a> at one point or another. Which means we all did our very best to endanger the life and limb of everyone around us on the road. Mix a healthy dose of hormones with an unfiltered belief in one’s own invincibility, and suddenly you’ve got the perfect concoction for highway hell-raising. <\/p>\n

These days, we’ve even thrown in a healthy dash of technology to add a little distraction to the mix. To help teens develop good driving habits, VicRoads (Victoria’s highway department) in Australia have rolled out a new ad campaign, complete with profanity-laced pleas for teens to be more attentive behind the wheel (“Don’t be a d*ckhead!”, etc.). Hit the jump<\/a> for a look, but be warned, the language may be a little NSFW. Hat tip to Igor!<\/em><\/p>\n
