Delta hits another bump in the road

-

DELTA Goodrem is suffering a run of bad “car-ma”.

The Aussie singer and V8 Supercars ambassador recently lost her licence for speeding offences and now the Advertisin­g Standards Board has upheld a complaint about her new Apple Music ad.

It was reported the ad drew complaints, alleging it breached community standards for health and safety as she appeared to not be wearing a visible seatbelt.

“As a role model for young people, this is setting a terrible example to young drivers ...” the complainan­t said.

The Advertisin­g Standards Board says Delta “dancing and moving around” with no visible safety belt would imply to younger viewers that a “relaxed attitude to safety in a moving motor vehicle is acceptable”. Apple has since modified the ad featuring Delta and a driver enjoying tunes on a road trip.
