Yes you can shock some people into changing their ways but every year people die and get injured doing the same stupid things despite all the warnings, media coverage and even laws. Some people will never learn because they don't even realise they need to learn.

That is the problem...the people who think they don't need to be educated. But then they are probably the same people who wouldn't take wrong advice given out by the government.
Scare tactics do work most of the time though. But not all the time.
