Driving to Strathalbyn this morning to catch up for a meeting regarding some photography with a well-known  legend of the industry, I was about 1 km from Strathalbyn and this prominant billboard appeared.  It was about a year ago now that I shot this image for SAPOL. ( Assisted by my loyal colleagues’s @ Ryan Carter Mike Annese ). We selected a generic looking car to bring into the studio, then proceeded to  execute the lighting to make it look like it was out on the street at night. To portray that the car had been pulled over to the side of the road and the individual inside the car driving was in the process of engaging in an lick test and subsequently being detected for co***ne use. It is amazing how far SAPOL have come with drug and alcohol detection technology.  I’ve been doing these outdoor advertising campaigns for SAPOL (formerly known as motor accident commission)  for over 20 years now.  Dozens of campaigns over the years and reportedly countless lives saved due to the message getting through. Well done to SAUCE agency for this concept and clever copy line.
