This campaign was meant to make young people aware of the fact that there are BlackSpots where you need to focus more and pay even more attention while you drive. BlackSpots are places where in three consecutive years six or more crashes have taken place.

Tinha Oehl (TeamAlert): “It was once again a lot of fun to realise a guerrilla-style campaign! We drove through The Netherlands in the middle of the night and all the young people who were on the streets to go party that Thursday were very curious of what we were doing. We visited 45 locations and marked them with our black balloons.”

The action was well noticed throughout the countries and there was much attention in the local press.
