I have to admit that i am a bit of a dick as i read my phone when i drive. Not to piss off the fuzz or to make anyone sad if i kill myself,i doubt anyone would be that fussed (turn the volume up for my violins playing in the background!) But i do realise that it is incredibly selfish as i do not want to harm anyone else on the roads if i loose concerntration and wrap myself around a lampost. Its made me think again. on a lighter note,how cute is the whippet snapper in this video?!
I lost a friend to a phone Related car crash, then my lovely girlfriend killed her self because she had know him all her life and 2 years ago a I was In a car crash, and the other driver was using a phone, and him and both of his kids died, this video must be shone to the world on tv not on you tube,
Save the wheat shut up you must have no common sense posting that comment I think you should get your mom or dad to see that comment and ask them yup I'm the girl you raises. Idiots like you are what...just forget it
I am driving, applying makeup, typing on my laptop, and sucking my boyfriends dick all as I type this. I don't want my last words to be "gaaagghhahggghaaa"...
@leeham991 That is a prime example of what not to say out loud. Don't be an asshole, seriously. There are more than just a few effective ways to spread awareness.
Por el ataúd... ella se ve que va a heredar una gran fortuna... jajajajajaja. No le van a durar muchos días las lágrimas. Le salió báqrbaro, quedó joven viuda... y ahora, a disfrutar la vida!!!
@harrisoq talk-to-text seriously? That is a horrible idea people would still be focusing more on the phone then driving. Turn the phone off put it away and pay attention.
That was fucking fake to carry the coffin like this. Believe me I have carried my mum and if you don't walk the same steps you're pretty fucked because the coffin with a dead person is fucking heavy...
@gcollin75 - its pretty simple, if your so ignorant and high and mighty to not see the value of this video, theres a little red (X) in the top right corner of your screen, next time press it and save your fucking ignoramous comment for your self!!!
@gcollin75 -- Only four days ago, in the middle of the day, I was following a car erratically weaving from lane to lane. I was relieved, at the next stop light, to see the driver was merely texting. I had thought he was drunk. How foolish of me.
@coolikinz2 fact- the average attention span for the average teenager is less than 10 seconds what does that show?.....it shows that you either arent reading this anymore or you find this message annoying :)
You can tell the driver ahead of you is texting when they start to slow down dramatically. Anyone who texts while driving should be angrily honked at!!!

Very beautifully shot, edited and scored, but really? This has got to be the tackiest way to get a point across. If you switched out the cracked blackberry at the end for the mom lighting up a cigarette and the kid watching, this could have been an anti-smoking PSA. If you showed the kid saluting the casket, this could have been a Support-Our-Troops PSA. The material doesn't match the theme, and only gets away with it because it's melodramatic as all hell.
Very moving but no solution offered other than to stop. Why not educate people on talk-to-text applications freely available so they know there is a safe alternative to trying to type while driving?
The length is fine, the lack of spoken word combined with the melancholy piano music is used to positive effect to draw your acute attention. The progression of the story through pure imagery is timed well and keeps the viewer watching. I am unable to remember ever seeing this sort of production and direction quality on a government-sponsored infomercial, or many commercials in general these days, very impressive.
I know the chick at the head of the grave in the black n white flower top!! Haha!! :D
Good commercial-needs to be shorter to increase effect... People these days have the attention span of a.. shit, did I remember to put my chinese food in the fridge..
Hi Tay I was on the shoot that day. I feel it came out great. The mother and son were great!! I hope it hits home with a lot of people. Thanks for posting it.
Im the real Tay Lindsey I was in This Video....it was pretty cool to work on set......the Kid did great...i posted this video on my facebook page you should look at the Comments people put under the video here my email to find me on facebook octavialindsey80@yahoo.com
@MiamiShmiami How long should it be? Should brevity come into the equation when we're discussing behavior that is killing people? I don't understand equating a PSA with a movie unless your point is to underscore a lack of importance/reality in regards to driving distractions and the unfortunate consequences
