Seems like an unnecessarily macabre way to get the message across. The inference is that road users (or rather drivers) don't know that road accidents can be fatal (and bloody) and need to be graphically told so that they drive responsibly. Not particularly helpful, and typical of the kind of patronising nonsense that we get in some countries at the moment instead of real road safety advice.

BTW Simon, next time, please write a little on what the link is about, so that people can decide whether it's worth clicking or not. (And yes, I know the link itself is fairly descriptive, but it's not enough, and if the link hadn't been descriptive I doubt you'd have written any extra.)
