Graphic Texting & Driving PSA

[jonty811]

18+?? why?? Aren't we wanting the 18yo's to stop texting while talking?? It should be for 13+.. teach 'em young..

[Nevawake]

18+ what fucken dumbshits labeled this 18+? fucken dumbcunts.

[NoahLynnCoahran]

at one time i saw like the second and third video to this does anyone know what those r called? i can't find them again?

[linkofhyrule7]

Ok, I remember the "safe" ads when I was a kid. There were videos like this, but they would flash to white at the accident and then show a funeral or hospital scene. Well, this should not be banned from teens. This is nothing compared to the intensity and violence of a real accident, and after this they can walk away from their screen and go back to their life and friends. Even if they don't have a cellphone, they need to be aware that others do, and watch for the risks anyway.

[Mr632838]

ONCE YOU HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT KILLING THOSE INNOCENT LIVES BY PLAYING WITH A CELLPHONE WHILE DRIVING AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT YOU ARE SORRY, WELL THEN,

YOUR VERY SORRY WILL NOT DO ANY GOOD!

[BassAnonymous]

IDIOTS YOU CANT SEE THE STREET, ITS COMMON FUCKING SENSE!

[corndogmassacre]

Exactly. This IS graphic. GOOD. You don't want to crash and die? DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE. You don't want to kill someone else in a crash? DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE. I agree with the director completely... if you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to know what could happen if you're STUPID behind the wheel. I won't get in the car with my friends if I know they text and drive. And I won't let them if I see them. I'll walk home before I let them. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.

[vorlaith]

Seen it.

[quarvis]

hilarious.

[chachies]

I should find the whole thing and show it to my dad so hopefully he'll finally stop texting and driving. It's pretty sad whenever the teenager is more responsible than the parent....

[2752rang]

its illegal in ontario to talk or text while driving it is a130 dollar fine but people still do it and beleive it or not the police are the worst offenders i think they should be setting the example.

[Topgun588]

What is graphic texting?

[18mormongrl]

some may complain that this is to graphic, but i'm glad that it is. this is exactly why no one should text and drive.

[MonsterSandwich99]

I live in Canada and our education system does not offer drivers ed, but I believe it should be in some form of our driving requirement lessons

[The420Destroyer]

I find it hard to believe that there has to be psa's to stop people from texting while driving. It should be instinct that makes you keep your eyes on the road. I could never take my eyes off the road to text, my common sense won't allow it. I'll never understand people's carelessness. So, I guess for all the wreckless morons of the world we need the psa's.

[super58173]

What people need to learn is that harshness is not the right way to teach a minor, unless that teen is a major ass. I am a fan of crude, gorey humor, but many of the idiots watching this video act like texting while driving, even once, is an unspeakable sin, it should be shown to EVERYBODY, and this sheds some light on the matter.

One: THIS IS FAKE. It's a PSA. Deal.

TWO: Most wise people already know what will happen, not all may not need to be shown this video...those that do, f*ck them.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

How sad the child lost his parents because stupid teenage girls were texting. That child doesn't have a child seat - how did it survive?

Of course if they crashed and died then they wouldn't be driving while I was on the road. Better them than me. I'm not even allowed to marry or adopt children.

[Whatever27213]

I text and drive all the time, you have to know how to do it, AND DONT DO IT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC!!!

[Zennethe]

Personally I think texting while driving should be made illegal and punishable by jailtime. Same a a DUI.

[SalemJenn]

We watched this video in school the other day...I've stopped texting and driving :)

[Zennethe]

@SalemJenn Good to hear. :)

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

@SalemJenn pussy

[SalemJenn]

@24jeffgordan88JRfan Crack Baby

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

@SalemJenn don't make fun of me :(

[SalemJenn]

@24jeffgordan88JRfan Have you learned your lesson? Don't make fun of other people and you won't get made fun of back X)

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

@SalemJenn fair enof lol xD

[HomeWreckerA1]

Could of done without that commercial

[tatorsal]

Texting while driving punishable by severing those texting fingers middle east style or death by lethal injection, ANY LAST TEXT MESSAGES!!!

[collegeman1988]

If this is the 30 minute video, where is the rest of the video??? Is it on YouTube?

[harrodas]

Why can't the Government put a video about this? All they care is what is going on with the economy. I am an american. So The sanate or whatever controls the enviroment is a stupid ass who doesn't care about what's going on with the enviroment.

[SoRandom98]

i watched the video, well, a short version of it, and it showed a baby, with no blood on it, and it was in one of the cars, still in it's chair, eyes wide open, and not moving. it just goes to show you,can kill someone as young as a baby by sending or reading a simple text. if they show me this in high school, i will keep my cell phone in my pocket or my purse, and i wouldn't check for a text or send a text until i was parked in a parking lot, or at my destionation.

[demian2114]

@SoRandom98 my civics teacher showed this in our class just as a reminder to be safe on prom weekend...it made 5 of the girls in class cry and 2 guys couldn't watch it...only 2 people in that class still text while driving

[Antepenult]

Preceded by an advertisement for a car insurance company telling you that you are covered when you have a car accident while texting. Epic fail.

[poeitdotxhot]

thank you. you have no idea

[Jerimiah1977]

They should show this to driver education classes.

[klepanic63]

honestly if i was shown this in driver's ed i would NEVER want to drive. it not only tells you not to text and drive, but it tells you that there are people who do text and drive and you could be killed by them. so just because you watched it and don't text and drive doesn't mean other people will.

[KarmaCityMedia]

Too all those who say that texting while driving isn't such a big deal need to stop and realize how much they sound like assholes who drink and drive.

[HOMEY631]

LoL well at the end of the video as you can see everyone seems to be okay, so text while driving= :D.

[SoRandom98]

@HOMEY631 do you know how many die from texting while driving????? DON'T TEXT IN DRIVE!!!

[Alexwa13]

@HOMEY631 Well, actually several people die in the video.

[harrodas]

@HOMEY631 You must be a stupid swamp is bitch. Try it your self and have fun burning in hell you stupid shit.

[sasukeluver345]

UGH !! THE ADS!!!!!

[outatimedek]

Driving and texting is dangerous, and if you think your clever enough to do it and get away with it, your a ticking bomb, the sad thing is, you may take others with you when you go off, just because you own a phone, and think your clever by texting while driving, just means your an asshole, with a stuff everyone attitude, and cares nothing for all the other drivers who you put in danger everytime you think your clever by texing behind the wheel... until it happens to your family.

[Zeldagigafan90210]

watching this video should be required for Drivers Ed. and not just the video itself, but a test will follow. this is traumatizing and if it's graphic, and on a serious topic, there is no thing a "too graphic" when it comes to a video that can possibly safe lives. some states issued a ban on text msg while driving, some even deemed cell phone use illegal behind the wheel. and to the people who have no respect in the responsibility involved need to know the driving is a privilege, not a right.

[super58173]

To the people saying this should be shown to everyone: WRONG, It depends for every person, as some may be traumatized into a fear of driving. While the video's blunt views may stop foolish teens, most Public Service Anouncements still have a large amount of propaganda in it.

[robot851]

@super58173 and people would become desensitized to things like that.

[super58173]

@robot851 - Yeah, like cops, who can be major arses.

[pkemr4]

@Zeldagigafan90210 lol at my school it requierment nearly

[Dancer8Gal]

@Zeldagigafan90210 we watched it in my driver's ed. it completely freaked all of us out

[SasChanSasuke]

@Zeldagigafan90210: Good idea. Teaches the "little rich kids" that if they use the phone that their parents pay for wrong... a grounding is "light" compared to life in prison.

[iwantanewusernameNOW]

I agree with Vandrandelik. If you not an idiot and you know what your doing then texting and driving isn't a big deal. Ive seen people who text and drive poorly, mostly women (deal with it you know its true) and their usually the ones who weave in and out of their lanes and swerve in and out of their lanes. I learned to text without looking at my phone, That way I don't have to take my eyes off the road. I Just glance at it instead of paying full attention to it and go back to watching the road.

[OlderG0ds]

@iwantanewusernameNOW

Question is, why the hell are you texting in the first place? Chances are you're talking about some stupid unimportant shit anyway. No thanks I say make texting illegal with a hefty punishment. I would rather nobody be able to do it than risk being killed by one of these morons who think they can watch two things at once

[iwantanewusernameNOW]

@OlderG0ds ummmm maybe because I want to? and I don't give a shit if people bitch about it? even if they make texting and driving illegal i'm still gonna do it. I have 5% tint on my truck so cops can't see me using my phone anyway so I they can't do anything about it if they can't see me doing it. I agree it should be illegal if your on a two lane road but if it's a 4 lane highway and there's no one near you then so what? Seriously go bitch to someone who cares.

[OlderG0ds]

@iwantanewusernameNOW

You're so cool. What a bad ass this guy texts and drives hes like fuck the law I do what I want ! ! Wahooooo

[pubker2113]

@iwantanewusernameNOW ...i love how stupid you make yourself sound

[JamesMorlan]

@iwantanewusernameNOW The minute you get behind the wheel of a car, it becomes your responsibility to drive safely, because your decisions and your actions affect others. I don't know if you are an idiot or a troll, but to not only openly admit that you text while driving, but defend it as well, is a marked characteristic of someone who needs to be taken off the road permanently. You won't have to be seen doing it - we'll see you in the news, in the hospital...or in the morgue.

[Zeldagigafan90210]

@iwantanewusernameNOW I hope you drive your self off a mountain road in the middle of nowhere and end up with a broken neck. lawbreakers have no respect for others and deserve no respect, but they can still pull you over if you swerve constantly. secondly, cars are being made to where to jam incoming telecommunication signals.

[coolcole]

Thank you!

[562XXXXX]

fuck the advertisment its not gonna make me wanna buy it or anything

[The3itchingGuys]

@562XXXXX What?

[562XXXXX]

@The3itchingGuys the advertisments at the beginning of a video

[queenbeeladydi3]

you did a great job on this vid I had both my daughters watch it as they both talk and text while driving

[Vandrandelik]

This video is great! It shows just how bad women are at driving, let alone-texting. This video is great because it shows how those of us who cannot text and drive properly will perish...and those who can will continue to do so without the threat of an inexperienced texter. Texting and drvivng is as easy as driving a stick-shift car...idk why people are getting into accidents.....

[MTLTV1765]

They need to put cell phone jammers on the roads.

[The3itchingGuys]

@MTLTV1765 Uhhh....and when you get in a wreck that isn't your fault? How the hell do you plan on getting help?

[rhewitt62]

Driving really requires all of our attention. No texting. AND please consider not talking on the phone, too. Is that conversation worth the risk?

[iamhelpfull]

Who will die next?  Or, will you text and kill someones else? Great video, one that everyone should watch. Richard in Charlotte

[SyberSweetHeart]

I watched this is drivers ed today and then afterwards we all signed the oprah no phone zone pledge. After this video I don't think anyone wants to text in the drivers seat (even if it was a bit dramatic)

[tdblake91]

This film really made me stop texting while driving.

[emperor3000]

oh that is a little boy? Dang I thought it was a little girl when I saw it the first time

[42whatelse]

This made me think of Red Asphalt 3...

[shador5529]

Does anyone know where to get the full 30 minute long video?

[MrVideoGameAddicts]

@shador5529 ya i wanna know that to

[Sgtmeatloaf]

lol when I hear those squishes it makes my laugh so fucking hard

[happycat2010]

This is great! It looks very real and hopefully gets the message across. It REALLY makes one think. If you haven't seen the full commercial you need to, it will really wake you up, it's sad and it will certainly make one think when they see the risk of robbing others lives because they cannot wait to text

[linzhco]

omg they dont talk retarted they are from the uk idiot

[slslavely]

This should be a requirement to everyone who purchases a cell phone.

[myrandomspaces]

how is this graphic its real....

[happycat2010]

@myrandomspaces it's considered graphic because they show the blood as well as a fatal accident. Anything that shows a lot of blood and gore like that is considered to be graphic

[myrandomspaces]

@happycat2010 that wasn't even alot but ok..

[MATHWIZ2001]

People who text and drive should only kill themselves

[tia1922]

hey at least they where wearing their seatbelts.

[linzhco]

@MrCoxley they are from the uk idiot thats why they talk retarded

[ShadyCaveman568]

those british girls are pretty hot except for their teeth

[ChrisBennett18]

this video must be on public television so stupid idiots who text and drive wont do this

[basspig]

This PSA should be standard required viewing in every teen driving class.

[musicdraganfly]

I am glad he made this video. It is how we can get thru to people. I took the pledge. I turn my phone off when I get in the car. I don't even talk on the phone while driving. I never understood how people could text and drive I can't even text and walk. No joke lol. My daughters life is not worth the risk.

[bmh12ify]

well my mom text while she drives and talks while sh drives i making sure that my phone is off when i start to drive and same wiht talking i wont do it this just makes me wanna cry and smash cell phone

[NYPDface]

@bmh12ify uh ok...wanna medal?

[KitaDyer]

Anybody have a link to the whole video?

[EchoBoomer1987]

Rob Zombie should direct one of these!

[viper19861986]

@EchoBoomer1987 hahah he woud put some sick music into this :D

[hackinracist]

@EchoBoomer1987 hahahahaha fucking rob zombie

[Bigdeezy74]

@EchoBoomer1987 yeah he would make it as fucked up as possible probably

[1emery1]

@EchoBoomer1987 Michael Bay should be making these

[Liberater948]

it needs to be a requirement i make sure i dont have my cell close to me when im driving

[PaulostheFFTKnight]

Even though it's gory and a little too real ...... well that's THE POINT, and the point also is some people are so dull they have to SEE what could really happen to WAKE UP. So,... good video idea, extreme yes, but so is a real car crash.

[devonholdermuab]

watch this video, please.

[KrisR09]

This 1st time I ever watched the video it is talking about I cried and had chills so bad!!! Not because It was too graphic, but because to think it could really happen. Afterwards I sent it to all my friends that text and drive. I'm 19 and ever since I've seen this I don't let me friends text and drive & I have not text and drive.

[rockerfaerie2]

Everyone who drives needs to see this video. It needs to be a requirment.

[kaichinn]

@rockerfaerie2

Totally agree! :)

[HoneyNVinegar]

@rockerfaerie2 Exactly. If they're gonna show drunkdriving graphic vids, they should show this--texting is such a stupid problem. So avoidable.

[SiK0Fuzz1es]

LoL @ the kids bitching about Ads in the videos.

For fuck's sake -.- Oh god!! 15 seconds of my life wasted watching an ad! Go play WoW fags.

[efee52]

lol exactly

[HeadMan12345]

ok guys really stop bitching lets see how about youtube with adds or no youtube at all complaining wont do anything its what a 15 to 25 sec ad if you cant sit through that you have problems yes its anoying but you need to accept that things like this need to be up here if you want youtube to continue to be free, anyone who complains is an arrogant hipocrite, your discusting

[BNCA70]

it's not the same as talking to someone in the car you numpty. Passenger's give way in their conversation or monologue when they see the driver has a situation. For example when a mate's pulling out at a roundabout I don't carry on telling a funny tale of a drunken Friday night, I wait a moment, he pulls out then I carry on. Mobile phone callers don't do that. Not rocket science eh.

[BobbyDuwitz]

This might be the funniest thing I've seen.

[Butter741]

the thing with ppl who text and drive, is that they try to hide the phone, and they dont look at the road. im guilty of texting and driving, i hold my phone above the wheel and i watch the traffic, not the phone. I'll glance at it, but not focus. And talking on the phone while drive is exactly the same as talking to a person sitting next to you

[darksaiyajin14]

Lmfao, exactly. Who the fuck looks down at their phone in their lap while they're driving.

I guess we should take radios out of cars, too. And heaven forbid you eat something while driving! Catastrophic! Burn all the drive-throughs and save lives!

[Bajistock]

Suprisingly, a lot of people are ignorant enough to do so. It's not "lmfao" at all. People are getting killed, families and friends are being devastated, and this video is very realistic. If you're implying that taking your eyes off the road while driving a 2 ton metal car to send a message to your buddy is alright on any level, you obviously need to be kept off the road. If you don't mind me harshing on your over-exaggerated and pretty childish sarcasm towards texting and driving, that is.

[darksaiyajin14]

I don't mind your response, you didn't insult me directly or anything.

Texting is a distraction eating, changing radio stations, ipods, etc. It's how much attention it takes for people to do them that makes the difference.

Some people can't multitask, others can, and others think they can but can't.

People that take their eyes completely off the road to look at their phone probably fit in the first or last category and the way they showed it in this video deserved an "lmfao" in my opinion.

[Bajistock]

It's simple. You can eat/change the radio station/ even talk on your cell phone with your eyes on the road. The fact of the matter is, a large majority of people text and drive instead of pulling off the road or waiting for home. When you text, your eyes are off the road and on the screen, and at least one hand is on the keyboard. Most people refuse to have the patience to resist the cell phone, so the simplest way of getting people to keep their eyes off the road is simply to outlaw it.

[Bajistock]

on the road*

[darksaiyajin14]

In my opinion, texting while driving is dangerous, but not enough so to be outlawed.

A lot of people have to look at the radio for a few seconds or more to change a station enough times to find something they like. And many people can text while paying very little attention to their phone. I would never have dreamed of texting and driving my first few years of driving/not being accustomed to texting. But now, the risk is low enough to pursue the activity but not completely gone by a long shot.

[Sunlight70]

@darksaiyajin14 You talk like an imbecile. When you've extracted shattered bodies from RTC's and had to amputate a patient's crushed leg to remove them you can come back on here and apologise to everyone for wasting their time reading your ludicrous comment.

[darksaiyajin14]

You didn't really provide anything to counter my argument other than say that it was ludicrous.

I said-It's dangerous to text and drive, but depending on your skill/the type of phone you have it is not much more dangerous than most every day tasks people do in their car and the activity should thus be frowned upon but not outlawed.

And in case it was misunderstood, my sarcasm was directed toward the video. It's exaggerated to the point that it's funny in my opinion, but not the subject matter.

[darksaiyajin14]

And I actually plan on going to med school to become a surgeon after college, so if I come back and say anything, I doubt it will be apologizing.

[WoWKoest]

You'll never make it. They don't let surgeons be distracted.

[darksaiyajin14]

You're funny. I guess I'll have a comedian to go to when I crash, burn, and don't graduate. [kind of like the girl in the video]

[darkmoon532]

@darksaiyajin14 In that case I dont want you operating on me. Saying that this is bad, but not enough to be outlawed. Has the media blown it out of proportion? No. A couple years ago, two teens at my highschool I went to died while texting while driving. A few months ago, a mate of mine was hit on the drivers side of his car because some dumb bitch dropped her phone while texting and reached down to get it. So no, this is a serious thing, and action needs to be taken now.

[darksaiyajin14]

@darkmoon532 Giving specific examples doesn't make the case stronger in a situation like this. Your argument is that people can get hurt doing it, therefore it must be illegal. If people had always followed ta logic, cars themselves would be illegal. And reaching down to get a dropped phone is not even close to a valid example of the dangers of texting and driving. There are all sorts of things you can drop in a car.

I appreciate your politeness, though. No personal insults. :-p

[darkmoon532]

@darksaiyajin14 No, your right, and I wasn't offended in any way. If anything I respect this intellectual argument. But what I was showing/proving with my post is, it is not an isolated incident thats only happening in downtown cities or large metropolitan areas and can be very dangerous. And with that, if one lady is texting and has the audacity to reach down while driving to grab her phone, let's hope thats not going to get popular among todays youth.

[darkmoon532]

@darksaiyajin14 Oh, and I forgot to comment, because of Youtube 500 char. limit. The point I was making on that part was, if they were that determined to send someone an email, it could happen again. Yes people could drop several things down there. But I dont think it's always a driving factor to cause people to crash. I guess it's whether they think their life and others are worth texting someone "I luv u" or "lol"

[madeindetroit19]

I respect your opinion, but disagree with you. I read a study that says texting or talking while driving is just as detrimental to driving as driving drunk. Not to mention, maybe the person texting wont always cause an accident, but could miss avoiding another car who is about the cause the accident. Not to mention, I can't count the amount of times someone texting on their phone has almost hit me. But, I do respect your position.

[darksaiyajin14]

Yeah, I definitely see where you're coming from. I'm not really sure if there's a right or wrong answer.

Also, I'm curious as to how they went about doing that study...

[musicdraganfly]

@Bajistock I can't change the radeo station while driving. I can't eat while driving. I can barely drink my water while driving. So I choose not to do any of these things. I have a 3 year old daughter and if I have her in the car talkin to me and I am trying to do all of that at the same time I will not be consentraiting on the road. Her life is not worth it. I turn my phone off or put it on silent while I am driving.

[diveinme]

fucking dumb kids

[789456789456789456]

fking youtube finally adds ads in videos fking youtube

[TheShaneDawsonAddict]

this was sad and scary... really sad when the lttle girl said,"mommy, daddy, wake up!"

[zombievampirealiens]

lol.

It was a boy. The director's son :P

[TheSon0fRageAndLove]

ppl should step back and let natural selection go to work

[moonshade20]

i would call this more like suicide and selfish murder

[airzachmax]

thank god the U.S is trying to send a bill that stops calls and texts while driving. ITS NOT SAFE PEOPLE! I don't even DRIVE and i know how dangerous crap like that is!

[mecellu]

It's no more graphic than plenty of other things kids have seen.

[glen6769]

easy, just stop giving kids driving licences, up the age to 25

[mooghammondb3]

Very good PSA. Sometimes it's as simple as instilling a little fear in teens to get them to snap out of dangerous behavior like texting and driving.

[MrBlurtit]

If this is 18 then we need bigger ratings for some of the more modern horror movies e.g Hostel!!!

[manufile04]

GREAT VIDEO for teenagers!!! i

[ghost1723]

I'm not sure that car glass breaks that way. At least it scares dumbass kids out of texting while driving.

[duffrose2000]

It can do, if a head hits it hard or if the bodywork warps out of shape

[electrogeek77]

And hopefully dumbass adults that text while driving too, like the one that crashed into my mother recently.

[CitizenKate]

Thank-you so much for producing this. Lives WILL be saved.

[megadude664]

sorry for replying that was real i didn't see the end!

[RebeccaFS1982]

You really thought it was real? Like they had cameras waiting for it to happen, on the inside and out? Geezus people!

[megadude664]

no i thought they would fuck you on camera ur gay i know it's not real

[nascarfn1815]

Amy Ingram is a hottie! I watched the full version of the PSA, and it is some intense stuff.

[3320105]

were can i find the whole video?

[heshoots9999]

1:32 blackwood wales

[nknejad]

I completely agree with the guy when he says if ur old enough to drive then ur old enough to see that video. In fact they maybe should start showing it ahead of time to kids to get the point across even earlier

[GhettoSunset]

lol, cast his SON, so not a little girl

[spichka1]

is this real???

[xxvolleyballxx7]

i felt bad for that little girl "mommy daddy wake up!" the driver is a horrible actor

[KaleighsOnUtube]

i know :(

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Bless those people for sacrificing their lives to make that PSA, they did not die in vain!

[speshk95]

umm they were actors, the didnt die.

[waddlewundr]

But this happens in real life...

[MistofSolaris]

*LOL* Please tell me you were joking

[heshoots9999]

they didnt die its acting

[megadude664]

stfu. ur just gay and blind

[tyrellarson]

So... you think that people put a camera in their car and intentionally got into an accident to make this video? And the part at the end when they are talking about it is what... before they filmed it? Are you seroius?

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I don't know how to explain this to you any further, they murder people to make PSA's to save lives later, it's common knowledge. And if you thought what I just typed was serious, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw you in your own graphic texting & driving PSA.

[tyrellarson]

So... were you serious or not? Do you actually think these people died for real?

[scooter6969xxx]

Click on the CNN video regarding this particular video -- they interview the teens who made the video and they are very much alive. And the young boy in the video is the director's son. I don't think he would offer him up as a "video sacrifice."

[RebeccaFS1982]

LOL!

[MaryHollisCullen]

It's called acting...

they didn't really die.
