Red asphalt II is the sequel to the original Red Asphalt, put together by the California Highway Patrol to educate new drivers of the dangers of driving unsafe. If you are looking for a great motivator to drive safe, this is definitely worth a view.

The video contains a fair amount of gore and is narrated by various members of the CHP. A lot of them sound very similar to police officers you speak with even today, complete with a touch of dark humour (We'll be there to peel you off the highway.) Some of the gore includes a roadway covered in blood, and a girl whose leg has had it's skin ripped off down to the bone.

This one plus the 3rd one are both my favourites in the series as they blend the reality of careless driving, and a narrative really well (This one does it better, however.) and even today this video holds up well.

What's kind of funny is how many of the CHP officers are talking about wearing safety belts yet they aren't wearing them during driving scenes - in reality they're probably being towed, and not really driving.

Finally, for fans of scary logos, the logo at the end of this video is right up there with the Screen gems "S" from hell, along with really creepy synthesizer behind it. It even uses the same yellow background.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
