Thing I can't understand is why the PC brigade are against graphic adverts for road safety!
The reality is about that bad - I've come across a number of serious and fatal 'accidents' - fortunately mostly after the worst has been attended to, known ( some better than others) well over a dozen people killed in car crashes and even had to identify a friend (sister's BF) who was killed in a crash!

IMO, this sort of thing should be part of driver training as most people just don't realise how vulnerable one can be in a car. Race and rally cars have huge crashes and the drivers usually walk away, but the cars are designed to protect the driver.

If girls realise they be disfigured and boys realise they may be crippled or, with a broken back, never able to have sex again, maybe they'd think twice!
