This one was quite widespread in UK TV, it was one of the first government films to use such shocking imagery and dark themes, 40mph vs 30mph. it's probably a bit mild by today's standards, but it was notorious at the time..

That’s the one. I also seem to remember a version where it showed the car with locked up brakes and where it would have stopped, on a street in a town/city.

Edit; Found it.
