The Road Safety Authority (RSA) and Setanta Insurance Services Limited recently launched a road safety advert with a GTA style twist.

The RSA’s TV adverts are notoriously graphic and like Guinness adverts, a lot of people can remember specific RSA ads – can you remember the one with the girl sitting on the wall? *JOE shudders*…

The latest online short from the RSA, which is called ‘Wheelman’, has a GTA-style feel to it and it features exactly what you’d expect to see when playing the video game – helicopter chases, crazed gunmen and lots of explosions – but there’s an unexpected twist at the end.

Here’s what RSA Ireland had to say on YouTube: “The concept for ‘Wheelman’ was developed by Rory Nestor, a secondary school student from Claremorris, Co. Mayo, and was the winning entry in the RSA and Setanta insurance’s road safety competition ‘Keep Drama Off The Roads’.”
