Don't Rush, Stay Safe

A Ramadan road-safety campaign run with Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Centre, built around a short film in which an impatient driver rushing home for iftar meets the same talabat rider delivering to his family. Ran on social, OOH and Abu Dhabi variable message signs.

The brief
Drivers and delivery riders in Abu Dhabi during Ramadan, when the hour before iftar brings a rush on the roads.
The idea
With the Integrated Transport Centre in Abu Dhabi, talabat made a film where an impatient driver hurrying home for iftar meets the rider delivering his family's meal, shown on social, outdoor and road message signs.
What to borrow
Showing the impatient driver that the rider he endangers is serving his own family turns a safety lecture into self-interest.
