...my company are doing a safe driving pr and marketing/ad campaign for sharjah police...

it's targetted at emirati guys from 18 - 30, and is the whole concept of belt up, don't use your mobile and drive safe (yeah, yeah, i know...)...

anyway, we're looking for some ambassadors for the campaign who the emirati guys will look up to...likes of adam kerchil and the sheikh rally car driver...does anyone have any ideas of other people who these young emirati drivers (aka road idiots) might listen to...

as i said...a long shot...

The guys from V\City of Life?

It sounds like a fantastic campaign

great idea...don't suppose you've got any contacts...??

MM, xx

Maybe you should find an emirati who has been severely disabled or disfigured through having an accident which might make for a good shock tactic.

but that has never happened, surely...cos they all drive safely, including the police...

seriously, not a bad idea, if we could find one...

What about the qatari rally driver Nasser Al-Attiyah?

great idea

My colleague Raed who is an award-winning driver (he's won plenty of races at the Autodrome and the BIC), as well as being a safety-first role model (I've driven behind him ).

Will this encourage Dubai police to follow suit?

can you give me his contact details...

hope so...

MM, xx

get in touch with the ATC
If MBS is in a good mood you might get him onboard http://www.atcuae.ae/en/mb_sulayem.html

thanks shiva, great ideas, we will contact them...

I would suggest DJ Bliss, I know him although I think he's off to London in a day or so. Nasser is already involved in a belt up campaign, seen it on the box.....although it was in arabic.

our campaign is in english and arabic so that's not an issue, but if he's already involved in something else, he may not be interested...if you do have contacts for dj bliss would be cool...thanks...

I'm makin some phone calls- I'll see what I can do for ya Double M.

How about Dr Sulaiman Fahim? Haven't seen his podgy mug on the box for a while.
