I'm not talking about a half hour program, simply a 30 or 60 second PSA spot, like the OP was discussing. TV stations are *required* to run them, so it's not like they will whine and moan about it (well they might, but that's not anything I have any control over.) The point was, the current PSAs are crap. Since you are *required* to run them, why not have some good content?

Where do you get this impression? What I see is that the vast majority of people here are extremely concerned with safety, they just reject the Claybrookian argument that slower is always safer. I have rarely seen anyone advocating higher speeds when there is a significantly increased risk - and when they do, they're almost always chided for it.
That's why I suggest PSAs that don't point fingers, merely educate as to the proper way of doing things. Those have a far greater possibility of actually being useful, as instead of accusing drivers of being poor drivers, they reinforce the right way to do things, which most drivers probably don't even know.
They don't learn 3533It's hazarous to drive, period. You can't justify not pulling over because it's hazardous. There's a few drivers in r.a.d. who seem to equate knowing how to steer with knowing...
Simply telling people to slow down doesn't work, as most drivers see for themselves every day that the whole "slow = safe" premise is flawed. However, those same drivers engage in dangerous behavior at the same time, simply because they were never taught or have forgotten the basic rules of the road.
