Sir, – I don’t think TV advertisements for new cars ought to portray the car as one’s own personal disco with passengers and the driver bopping up and down, while singing their brains out, and totally oblivious to the inherent dangers attached to such behavior . Cars are not the new disco and should not be portrayed as a fun palace.
I am somewhat surprised that the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has made no comment, or is such behavior acceptable while driving now? – Yours, etc. THOMAS J CLARKE Ayrfield, Dublin 13
