Texting and Driving

WATCH COMMERCIAL NOW

          I heard a radio broadcast discussing this Public Service Announcement video from the UK last week. I was curious to see what the buzz was all about and checked it out. Immediately, I tweeted this link and made it my Facebook status because I felt the message couldn't have been conveyed in a more effective way.  The video is gruesome, shocking, and difficult to watch. However, my instant reaction to it was "never again..." People who viewed the video after my various posts reacted the same way. Oprah started the movement to raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving via her "No Phone Pledge." She obviously reaches millions of viewers and has affected change, yet I believe this ad to be so powerful that any legal driver should view it. The shock value of this PSA is immense. Awareness of this issue has been raised by efforts like Oprah's and lawmakers creating laws to ban the idiotic act of texting while driving.  However it's my firm belief that nothing can make a driver stop like this grotesque visual depicting what could happen to you or someone else as a result of texting while driving. Every human being with a license to drive should witness this video.
