Deutsche Verkehrswacht e.V.
Mourning band
There are over two million accidents each year on Germanys roads. Still today, the main causes are speeding, drunken driving, and driving without a safety belt. One in nine people killed in road accidents could still be alive if he or she had been wearing a seat belt. So the message reads: Buckling up can save lives. The German Road Safety Organisation (DVW) wants to bring this message home to German car drivers. It has been working towards greater safety and fewer accidents on Germanys roads for over 85 years. Through its programmes, initiatives and events, the DVW reaches around 2.5 million people a year. Using an emotional form of address, we aim to make the core message Wearing a seat belt means the difference between life and death stick. To do that, the campaign attracts peoples attention where its message has maximum impact on busy roads.
