Nissan Motor Company has pulled a car commercial focused on speeding and reckless driving, much to the pleasure of the American Society of Safety Engineers, which had protested to Nissan that the TV ad "wrongly glamorizes speed in many ways including showing a car running through a railroad crossing — with the train just about to pass and the crossing arms down."
Nissan contacted ASSE and said, "This particular commercial was pulled from rotation... and will no longer be run on TV or on the company's public web site."
