The latest burst of activity took place in spring 2014, featuring three radio ads used in 2013.
The evaluation took place 30th April – 20th May 2014 among young male drivers.
The key findings are:
• The campaign has performed well overall given lower spend – little evidence of
negative effect on attitudes or behaviours.
• Ad recognition compares well to previous campaign bursts and TNS norms.
• There was some evidence that the more personal consequences e.g. disappointing
family, lifestyle changing are starting to wane.
