What are the pros and con's for the arrive alive campaign?
Elena-2011 [213]
The Arrive Alive campaign was launched to prevent road accidents or at least lessen the instances of accidents due to drunk driving and reckless driving.

The advantages of this campaign are:

1. It promotes awareness among drivers to drive safely. 
2. It educates drivers on the rules and safe acts when on the road. 

The disadvantages of this campaign are:

1. It does not completely eliminate the risk of accidents due to drunk and reckless driving. It merely 'educates' the drivers about safe acts. 
2. It still allows the drivers to drink and drive but at 'allowable alcohol level' which does not help at all.

In the end, the Arrive Alive campaign failed.
