I read this horrible post a few years ago where a PoS passenger didn't buckle up. So the car drove off a cliff, her body flew and killed people in the back seat who were buckled up. The driver survived since he was buckled in.

this makes it sound like the driver intentiinally drove off the cliff in spite

...the UK didn't pull their punches with road safety ads in the 90s. Sorry for YouTube.

Australia had ads like that too.

They relaunched this one a few years ago because of how effective it was in the 90s.

America did this too, but it was too hardcore for me to share clips, so here's the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Asphalt

Had to watch a couple of these in American driving school in high school.
