Sad

[Boshi0]

I loled so hard at this, teen stupidity and the consequences of it is so awesome to watch!

[jmar0015]

People in America are too afraid to show graphic material to there young ones because it will scare them. Well that is the point people. Show this video worldwide and you will see how your children will have fear and remember this video when a text message of phone call is heard while driving. It will remind them NOT TO ANSWER BACK until they have reached there destination.

[xxkali3xx]

scary

[jackson4cool]

THUMBS UP IF YOU SEARCHED FOR THE FINAL DESTINATION TRAILER AND THIS

[Prncssmn7]

Search YouTube for Family:Teen Killed While Texting and Driving. The 18 year old girl there not only killed herself, but someone else while texting. As long as things like that continue, PSAs like this are necessary.

[TheMysterydrumman]

is it bad i lol at this

[xxkali3xx]

@TheMysterydrumman YESS!!!

[dixiebutterfly72]

This video hit me hard the first time I watched. The first time I watched it was with FCCLA, and it hit me hard because my mom and my boyfriend texts while driving and I'm afraid that this is gonna happen to them when I"m with or not. I showed my mom this video in hopes that she would stop texting while driving. My high school also had a simulation before prom night out in our parking lot. Local police and fire depo got involved as well as some of the students who played acters in the crash.

[davidkeys100]

@dixiebutterfly72 Thanks a lot, a-hole! I was so ungodly bored reading your comment, I fell asleep in my car and crashed it into a group of teen girls when they were texting!

[380AMS]

Every texting driver must see this. Thank you.

[0180917]

I just turned 16 and hoping to get my license next month...and I don't even know HOW to text, haha.

[em0kid4321]

ok ppl should just face reatlity and realise tht humans are retarded and have a natural tendency to "break the law"

tho this did effect me (im only 15 and dont drive so....ya)

but it might not effect everyone else, but i dont think banning texting is a smart idea >< even tho it might help, because then more ppl will call instead of text, and thts also deadly....soooo....ya

[Hakmiya]

This whole video is unnecessary.

Its not to graphic its just cheesy. A simple collision would of been fine.

[Ps3capt]

@Hakmiya no it wouldnt have been

[Hakmiya]

@Ps3capt Apparently it would because people still dont listen. Its just more pointless scare tactics. American teens wouldnt care, they see graphic violence on a daily bases

[kikiwagirl101]

OMG.that's so sad D:

[elkillerx]

Wow. We should show this video at all DMVs and drivers ed classes.

[jfreels9]

this video is CRAZY!! i mean it is graphic yes. but u gotta think how else is the point suppose to b covered n understood how dangerous it is to teenagers unless they actually see how bad it can truly b for them to do this.i have a touch screen phone now but i use to txt while driving..it wasnt hard i didnt have to look at my phone but now i would never try doin it..especially after seein this video..

[HellBoyAKABadBoy]

Why the do you think they invented Cell Phones or any other Device as such tell me then I'll answer your wrong question ok and to those who think she deserves this then maybe you should look at your life and your everyday things you do and find ways to make them better and not bring "HARM" to others you Fing freak think before you try to think. There is so much going on out there you have no idea. No one does.

[AncutaMerkel]

Fucking little horrible teenage bitch. She fucking deserves to die. I feel utterly sorry for the innocent lives that were lost especially the baby. This ad is fucking perfect. One of the best ads I have ever seen in my life. When people drink drive, text or call while driving or do any other stupid life endangerment activities I have no sympathy for their loss. Any driver that does the very bad on the road e.g. phone or text while driving deserve to die. Fucking inconsiderate little bitch

[HellBoyAKABadBoy]

@AncutaMerkel excuse me... I know what you mean its what we all are trying not to think but really that could have been you or me but its not cause you or me wouldn't be that dumb-ass kinda person who would be as so STUPID to do such a thing in the first place. Its the own media giants fault and the companies they put out there these messages that its ok to continue in an orderly fashion as you are and not pay attention to anyone or anything he he he he he he lets all just not think.

[greenscreenn00bster]

Dude, it's just a fucking PSA. What did you think this was? A real life crash?

[Wowreference]

People do it all the time thinkung, "Oh, it's not going to happen to me, I'm careful."

Wtf guys

Its not worth it.

[lightlord99]

i just about lost my mind when they showed the baby.

[LovelyJubbly16]

this is horrible, but such a good video to show people what can really happen. i saw a clip of this on TV and looked it up because i wanted to see what it actually was. they should show the whole thing on telly, because then people everywhere would see it.

[martinbryant]

this should be on the prime time tv adverts!

[chichal18]

dang. im not texting anymore. srsly. i mean it could happen.. ya never know..

[ayvuhhflavv]

They sure got me.

[halo3rok12]

chill the fuck out uk damn

[xAricaxDarlingx]

what the fuck?

It's stupid to text while driving anyway.

Stupid.

[aaronkswafford]

I found the original video as a related video to Despised Icon's "Day Of Mourning" video, lol.

[DeerHunting2009]

this did not really happen it was just a U.K. public service ad to show what could happen if you text and drive

[CitizenKate]

From US News:

"But about twice as many men die each year because of accidents as do women. Motor vehicle crashes are the most common type; they killed about 29,648 men and 13,748 women in 2004, the most recent data available. About four times as many men as women drown. And some eight times as many die mishandling firearms."

Maybe men can multi-task, but they still take stupid risks. Might be a small problem there, Eric.

[tashtan1]

i dont even have cell phone, i cant even look down when im driving

[mspill01]

In Australia, we get our learners at 16 and probationary at 18. Weare supposed to have at least 120 hours of driving in all conditions before we get our P's.

A licence at 14years 6months!!!!!!

[vorpex]

In germany you can get it with 17 but there has to be adult with at least 5 years driving expierience in the car with you. Normal is 18 but you really have to take hours and a theoretical and practical test

[terw900]

Lulzy.

[benitodelavega1]

mechwarreir2 : this is a sample of a half hour video that is shown in school!!!!!!!

[brianfrombrick]

this video should be in every highschool and set as commericals on every channel. i will never text and drive!

[brianfrombrick]

then see my video the beginning is a little disturbing but the rest is ok.

[boogieman00001]

Very good message. Texting while driving is retarded. Sadly people do dumb crap like this everyday. On my way to work I see people texting, putting on makeup, and fixing their hair all the time. I even saw a guy reading a book once. I nearly crapped myself and I honked my horn at him. Freaking idiot is going to kill someone. Our "driver education" system is a joke. Here in Texas you don't even have to take a driving test anymore. It's just a written test. Who's bright idea was that?

[mrfish44]

There is a blackberry app available that you can customize an auto response to text messages.  Simply put "driving, will call you later" or just use it as an away message on your blackberry.

Auto TextBak is the name and has its own site AutoTextBak

[mechwarreir2]

they should show the after effect.... the fact that they will be in shock and in hospital for months, unable to move and support their job, and eventually going bankrupt. Its worse than they show.

[omegaknight]

being sued

[mechwarreir2]

that too, what omegaknight said

[danlefou]

It's part of a 30 minute film. The aftermath is shown, with its effects on all concerned.

[lilcrazy510dabay]

happens everyday

[countchaos99]

Thats not fair! The car that hit her was using L337 Hackz! yo!

[jd1060]

whoa WTF!...

[lilschwatzy23]

oh boy... poor girl...poor baby...poor little girl. i agree this is an eye-opener...

[pos360]

This is so awful. What an eye- opener.

[QUADGRAM]

No young teen deserves to die.  Yes they were very irresponsible or negligent but the teens needlessly had their lives cut short as well as the mother and father of those two adorable children. We ALL need to see this and realize it can happen to ANYONE.

[aymie520]

They didnt really die. It was specifically planned to have this commercial. They wouldnt kill innocent people to get a point across.

However, it is very realisic and definately could happen and sadly probably does everyday.

[Katiethecloud]

well duh. I think QuadGram realises that. She's speaking hypothetically!! *dumb commenters*

[JMR192]

I hope the USA shows this over and over and to include cell phones too!!

[cutedale19]

@JMR192 i t does make you think about texting whn driveing

[davidkeys100]

@JMR192 We don't need this, you guys are the ones driving on the wrong side of the road!

[coolredlich]

OMG I will be showing this to my grandaughters in the hopes that it might save their or someones life. This just breaks your heart, it can happen so fast, so many lives changed or lost forever.

[QUADGRAM]

I have pasted the video on my Facebook and My Space page in hopes my three teen granchildren will realize the horrible consequences of texting while driving. The oldest granddaughter is obsessed witih texting all the time and I can only pray that she sees the video and it reaches her common sense.
