Bucharest Traffic Police has been encouraging people to meet new people, but not in the context of alcohol-related car accidents. In Romania, almost all cases of driving under the influence, more than 80%, are related to social drinking. People tend to go out and indulge in social drinking to facilitate meeting new people and establishing new relations. As a parallel, the connections one makes during a dramatic moment, like an accident, are much stronger than those made with regular new acquaintances. Two print ads contrast an apparently normal situation and a tragic accident, communicating the main message: driving under the influence can have devastating consequences. “There are better ways to meet new people”.
