Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec knows how hard it can be to keep those eyes open on a late-night drive. But it’s better to pull over and stop until you can, before someone else on the road does it for you.

Lg2 – which got some attention for its radio and video work with the SAAQ in Cannes last month – is once again working with the organization to promote road safety in the province, this time focusing on driver fatigue. Despite how it may feel when you fade in and out of alertness on the road, other vehicles don’t disappear just because you aren’t aware of them, as the driver in this new video learns, with life-threatening consequences.

The message in the spot is telling drivers to “stop, before fatigue stops you,” and it means it literally. The campaign is also being supported with print ads and radio in French and English, that show just because you’re slowing down, doesn’t mean everyone else on the road is.
