Battlefront You're Already Involved

I have been watching your campaign on the TV this morning and while I appreciate that many young people die in road accidents, I feel that your energies and almost certainly government funding should be concentrated in areas that will be far more beneficial. I think that while you walk around town hassling innocent members of the public that are wearing earphones, perharps you should consider the fact that your turban will also hinder your hearing. Please do not take this as a racial attack, but I feel that you are contradicting yourself. Members of the public and road users should be responsible for their own safety. I agree people should be made aware of road safety, but the manor in which you address people is not efiicient or benefical, surely a widespread adverising campaign would reach far more members of the public and make them more aware, than approaching them on a one by one manor. The state money in which this campaaign has taken up could surley have been used in a more beneficial way to the people of Birmingham.

Hi Manpreet, Saw your campaign on TV this morning and wondered if you had read Woodrow Phoenix's book Rumble Strip? Its all about people being killed on the road and is published in graphic format. here is a link if your interested: http://www.carolinesmailes.co.uk/rumble-strip-woodrow-phoenix well done, great work Nina

Hiya..i think your campaign is a good idea...we live near to a university and every single day students step out into the road in front of us without looking either way before they do! the majority of them are listening to music and have ear phones in ! i think the basic rules of road safety also need to be reiterated because i was taught to look both ways before i crossed the road....i guess your right though...they arn't looking because they are distracted by the music...as a driver it makes driving round where i live very nerve wracking! uni students should definately be targeted...GOOD LUCK

I'm 65 and admire your campaign. It isn't the young who cause their own accidents! I used to have to cross a very busy junction in London on a pedestrian crossing and cars would often drive straight through while I was on the crossing. I started to throw my briefcase at their windscreen and take out my black chequebook with the silver badge and apparently make notes! The junction was near a major Police station! Agro like that shouldn't be needed but they asked for it and they got it!

Hi Manpreet, i have seen the show a few times and your campaign in particular really stood out for me. I'm a student in my final year on an animation course. I would like to create an animation based on your campaign for my final year production. I would very much like to hear your ideas on the content that could be included within an animated advert.
