State is pulling 'Dont Jerk and Drive' ads. "I don't want this innuendo to distract from our goal to save lives." http://www.argusleader.com/story/news/2014/12/11/jerk-drive-campaign-stirs-discussion/20240607/ …- Earlier: The initial campaign
Winter driving is hazardous. Whatever you do #DontJerkandDrive http://dontjerkanddrive.com- The reaction was swift
#dontjerkanddrive About the most genius marketing campaign I've ever seen. #Iseewhatyoudidthere
Ya wonder if they actually say these things out loud?. #DontJerkAndDrive http://www.drivesafesd.com/gallery/think-before/ …
.@DriveSafeSD ohhhh that means don't jerk the wheel. I completely misunderstood. My mistake #DontJerkAndDrive
@tylermac It took me so long to figure out if this whole thing was a joke or not. This is hilarious. #DontJerkAndDrive
@DriveSafeSD Not disagreeing, just wondering if different phrasing might have been less, um, provocative. #dontjerkanddrive- Many are pointing it out to national comedians.

- @kjense01 @USDmichelle The line may be funny, but jerking the wheel isn't a joke. Thanks for helping us make other drivers more aware!
- @AquamanFSD It's important to keep safe driving top of mind any time of year. Jerking the wheel can cause accidents even on dry roads.
- @ToddHeitkamp The line may be funny, but jerking isn't a joke. Serious accidents can happen when a driver jerks the wheel.
- @realTonyReiss Unfortunately, the problem is real. When a driver jerks the steering wheel, bad accidents happen.
- @MikeHenriksen When drivers of any age, including single men, jerk the wheel, bad accidents happen. Thanks for helping us get the word out!
