I went on a binge last night watching public safety videos, and I have to say, Ireland consistently produces some real gems.

First, this more recent one (graphic) of a driver taking out an entire kindergarten class (complete with obligatory shaming at the end):

Then a couple from 1995, which are less graphic but still good:

And another:

What are some other commercials you've seen that "work well"?

I remember South Carolina's Highway or Dieways campaign from the late 80's and early 90's.  There was a tepid revival of the idea a few years ago, but they weren't as impactful as the original campaign and unfortunately the original PSAs don't seem to be on the internet

It's like... I couldn't produce better satire of road safety ads if I tried.

Mixed race children behaving perfectly in nature, overacting guy in 'normal person' car inexplicably loses control in a way completely impossible at the shown speed and corner and enters hollywood triple twister roll, squish goes the chiddlers... and then 'shame on you'.
