Default Texting while driving - powerful video

This is part of a powerful 30 minute British road safety video that we should all show our kids. This is very graphic and truly gets the point across. It certainly frightened me.

This is some info about making the film:

Wow, what an excellent video! It sends a very strong message about the reality of your responsibility as a driver. Having responded to more than my share of auto accidents such as these, if this video saves one life, it was well worth the $20K spent to make it. They need to show this to all drivers prior to them receiving their license to drive.

Steve, thank you for posting that video. Really frightening and unfortuantely true. My 2 older boys, 19 and 20, assure me they don"t text and drive but I'm not sure they don't. They will see this video and hopefully it will drive home the dangers of this practice.

Again thanks for posting.

Someone needs to tell you to use punctuation for proper affect.

I have never seen this vid before ever and and happy that it was posted. I have three teenage daughters that are addicted to texting and one is a driver. This vid brought a tear of fear to my eye because it could happen to my family.

amazing,,,a local school in the area does a big DUI simulation every year about prom time where teenagers are killed in a wreck involving alcohol...very realalistic with the use of police, emt's, and lifeline choppers,, last year I saw several female students crying, even gave me chills just acting it out as part of the responders. if it gets just one psersons attention it is worth it
