Texting While Driving..most graphic, these are actors and actresses.

[Stuart G]

This did not really happen here...but..
these types of accidents have happened, and will happen. This was taken from a longer film about this issue, and it was put up to get the word out, cause people didn't watch the entire drama/documentary. Only 4min 16 sec..

1. This is powerful! Thank You Stuart G

for posting. This is what I say to my daughter who's cell phone is more of appendage than a phone, "how will you feel when you have hurt someone else because you were texting while driving?" This drives me crazy when I'm driving and I'm stopped at a red light and I look around and see people in there cars texting or talking on their cell phone! Why do people think it's okay to endanger someone else because they can't stay the fuck off their cell phone?

2. This SHOULD be seen by every kid, every parent, every person who has EVER been in

a car, or has walked innocently down a street... in other words EVERYONE. Too bad it won't be. It's from Britain, and won't be shown here.

Oh, and by the way, the film explains that while these are actors, this accident did happen. And another just like it is waiting to happen unless EVERYONE just turns off the phone and drives.

3. Realistic...

perhaps this entire film should be required viewing along with the exam when every driver applies for their license.

5. It can wait...(warning, intense reality)...

... these incidents really did happen, and people died or were changed for the duration of their lives. And the lives of those who caused the injuries or fatalities were forever changed as well:

6. In Lawrenceville, GA, about 12-13 years ago

a young girl (I think about 16) whipped out of her family's driveway in her SUV, talking on the phone, and failed to notice the woman with 2 small children behind her on the sidewalk. The woman and at least one of the children were killed. So sad.

7. Thanks for the important post. That video is excerpted from a longer BBC video from 2009...

10. Even worse than the cell phone, is being a new driver/ young driver and having distracting friends

in the car with you. We have laws now keeping kids from riding together in some states. Peers are just as distracting. All atten was on the phone and goofing off, rather than driving.
