I just watched this on Youtube. It's very realistic and hopefully will drive the point home to those who need a wake up call. Although quite graphic it clearly is not sensationalizing anything but instead being very blunt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGE8LzRaySk

AWESOME POST! It's a shame that something like this isn't aired daily on TV around the world. Granted the PSA was staged, but the reality of this happens everyday, and you can only wonder how many innocent people pay for the arrogance of one moron. On the same thought, and only slightly less dangerous are the people who feel they need to talk on their cell phones constantly while driving in traffic (particularly at rush hour). here are related link that drives the nail a little deeper More Texting

It is a good video. Wish everyone could see it but denial is always present. It will never happen to me mentality..

Last week a friend of mine ass ended someone while texting. I have a standing rule, which I enforce, my girls are not allowed to talk or text me while driving.

I was following a woman that was texting last week on the highway. she was ALL OVER the damn place.

They showed drunk driving films back in the days before cell phone and drunk driving deaths ensued. The drunk driving situation did not begin to abate until law enforcement and the courts started to get tougher on it. That's the same way the cell phone thing will play out. You can show that PSA all day long but until the non-crash consequences become stiff enough people won't change.

Maybe it's a Houston thing. I don't mess with this. Being on a motorbike takes both hands. If they call or message while I'm on the bike, they get to wait until I get to my next planned stop. (It was a funny video, though... as was the "Women, know your limits" one... good for a laugh, for sure). DC

DC Agreed. I don't even have my mobile on while biking, even though I have a headset that supports it.

I saw the video on CNN Monday as I was traveling to Austin (layover in Dallas) and it nearly triggered a depressed mood.

What got to me was the little girl asking her mommy and daddy to wake up. That is not far-fetched.

ShaharThorne -> RE: Texting While Driving Video (8/28/2009 1:58:57 PM)
I got a niece about that girl's age. Her voice sounded the same and made me wonder what if it was my brother and SIL in their places.
