DO NOT DRIVE AND TEXT ON YOUR PHONE!!! DO NOT...

You may think that you not have never driven and taken your eyes off the road. That's a lie and you need to realise it. But, the new phenomenon of texting or writing on a mobile phone while driving is REALLY DANGEROUS and must be understood as such. It is like driving drunk. But if the message is not clear, just watch the video. If you are squeamish, please get a bucket and a towel first.



One feature of the publicity film that I found strange was the lack of reaction from the many vehicles that pulled up after the accident. I think that is a scary message too.
