Tombras Group, Rabbit helps nail Tennessee drivers
You’d think that by now people would know that speeding, reckless driving, not wearing a seatbelt, and drunk driving (or drinking while driving) is a pretty stupid idea. But as long as there are idiots on this planet, the police will always be kept on their toes.
Here’s a fun little 30 second spot for the Tennessee Governor’s Highway Safety Office in time for their Hundred Days of Summer crackdown on Tennessee asphalt menaces. It was created by Knoxville based ad agency Tombras Group, and directed by Lieven Van Baelen of Rabbit.
But aren’t those nailed vehicles gonna be murder on rush-hour traffic?
