Car Crash TV Coming To Nine…

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) the Victorian Government body responsible for those gruesome traffic awareness ads we see on our screens is developing a television series for the Nine Network. The series at a cost of 4 million dollars to the Victorian taxpayers is titled Sudden Impact and will be in eight parts.

According to the Herald Sun, the series will screen in the second half of the year and will be very simular to the New Zealand based show Serious Crash Unit and the Seven Network’s Medical Emergency.

However some within the TAC believe that the funds could be used in a more appropriate manner according to the article, with many victims awaiting compensation from the TAC. The idea of this series is to promote public awareness on what we should and shouldn’t be doing on our roads, and will form apart of the TAC’s program on educating the community. The TAC already spends and estimated $30 million on advertising alone, with $700 million spent on compensation claims.
