Excellent Video on Texting While Driving
This is an extremely well produced video on texting while driving. A bit hard to watch (mild caution), but highly recommended for sharing with any young drivers in your household. Backs up the reason I am (very reluctantly) selling my last motorcycle after over 40 years of riding.

Yeah, I saw that. People were complaining about it and they had it on the morning news. I think it's realistic, and people just don't like to see real life. It's good. Shows you what could happen in an instant. From experience, I think texting is terrible while driving. Luckily I have not lost anyone I know, but from doing it personally, I think it's really hard and takes way too much concentration.... I don't do it.
There's really no difference between texting, and closing your eyes while driving.

Yea, I seen it on the news. I though it was very good. I don't understand why America doesn't have PSA on that type of crap. Maybe people would actually listen. You can talk and talk but sometimes it takes a Video like that to get u to think.

Well Done PSA
Brought tears to my eyes.
Yes, but did you pay any attention back then? I ask because I didn't. It wasn't until I had a girlfriend in college that I realized I had something to live for and started wearing seatbelts. In the military they showed a "logical" film on seatbelt use that would have had the same effect - gory films like this one just had no effect upon me when I was younger. Again, this one brought tears to my eyes.
