As awful (and important) as that is to watch, I can't help but think it would make more of in impact on people in this country, as compared to the PC, nanny state approved messages that most people will ignore.

The impact of this video will be forgotten as soon as the next text is received and must be replied to ASAP.

People need to recognize driving is one of, if not the most dangerous thing they will do in their life and treat it as such.

I remember when I went thru driver's ed in high school (many moons ago), they always showed a gruesome video. Some of the girls in class would even puke because it was so graphic. What ever happened to those days?

It's not "politically correct" to have graphic drivers ed videos depicting what actually happens in accidents. Our society is way too soft. It sickens me.

Loosely related to the my point above. I walked into a coffee shop in uniform, and a girl glanced over at my pistol and asked, "Is that loaded?", to which I replied, "Yes, it's loaded." She began to ****ing sob, literally!!! Sheeple............

About 2 weeks ago a young girl in our neighborhood was changing songs on her ipod. She drifted across the lane up onto te side walk and killed 2 teenage girls walking down the street. Too many distractions for teenagers today
