Yep, Some people can’t see even when they are smartasses. Well ‘Think’ must be an American just like myself, Oh! boy that always makes me proud, just like the fact that you can sue for a hot cup of stupidity. Oh! Look for brake lights when driving behind such buses and stay on the righthand side just like in the US.

Thanks and Centraal always has funny commercials when ever I watch tv in Nederland.

Harfsen, may be small but what a beauty it is. ;)

@Ed:
It doesn’t matter at all if Centraal Beheer uses disaster ads for years or not. The fact is, it is still possibe that people – as they have to make quick (split second) decisions in traffic often – can make the wrong decision. Also, don’t forget: there are many ‘new adults’ (18yo’s) who watch little TV – many sit much more in front of the computer, nowadays.
But, of course, in the Netherlands Centraal Beheer never could get a big fine, as would be possible in the USA for example. All they _could_ get, if really someone would get to trial over this, is a weak slap on the wrist and saying ‘don’t do it again’.
(PS: Ja, ik ben ook Nederlander. En persoonlijk erger ik mij niet aan deze reclame, maar voor sommigen kan ie toch wel gevaarlijk overkomen in sommige situaties.)

Yes! I love the commercials from ‘Just Call Apeldoorn’. They are so funny, just like this one.

Looks like every other Dutch contributor tried to explain what the ad was about. Every other not living in the Netherlands seems to think this is a bad idea. The fact is, this company is advertising with ‘disasters’ like this (you could start a entire website of these expressions) for decades now. All Dutch recognise within a split second it’s an ad.

So it’s neither stupid, dangerous, or confusing in traffic.

It was a stupid idea. This will end up causing someone to swerve and crash. I can hear the sound of lawyers rubbing their hands together gleefully.

On the upside, it’s an insurance company that will be sued and lose a chunk of money.

Omg i dead serious I would step on the brakes if I ever ever saw that. I personally think that is dangerous yet awkward yet funny.
