Emotional drivers

The New Zealand Transport Agency's emoticons.

[iframe_vimeo video=”73891252″]

Are you the type of person who ads a happy face to the end of potentially angry messages to prove you aren’t mad? Or the occasional “haha” or “LOL” to make sure people know you’re not being serious? The New Zealand Transport Agency and Clemenger BBDO Wellington are taking a similar spin to help people understand the emotions that run the road. Not everyone is just driving along with a happy face above their heads (or on their faces…), so this new video is trying to remind you that driving is a social experience, and that other drivers have feelings too…so mind your manners.
