I'll never text and drive. Doing anything that takes your eyes of the road is stupid and dangerous, not to mention selfish. "I've GOT to take this text message, no matter who's life I endanger in the process". But at the same time I don't want the cell phone outlawed in the car altogether. You can talk the phone without taking your eyes off the road, and if you have a head-set you can keep both hands on the wheel. I shouldn't lose my phone because other people are making stupid decisions.
I am very appalled at the comments I'm reading on this. Also, I can't believe this only has 129,000 views. If you need to know where you're going, put the address in a GPS or PULL OVER AND CALL THE PERSON FOR DIRECTIONS. If you don't want to pull over, write them down before you leave. So many simple solutions and many over look the common sense. It's not a matter of multi-tasking, it's a matter of focus and being safe.
Makes me appriciate that I'm a face-to-face kinda person anyways. I hardly use my phone mainly because it is just such an impersonal way to converse and creates socially retarded zombies. But this video definately shows four more reasons to toss your phone in the trunk.
Sometimes terrible things happen. I was in an awful car accident in September, they had to staple my head back together, because a guy decided to run a red light. I don't hold that against him, and there's no precautions I can take. People die prematurely every day by things that could have been avoided. I like this campaign, but there's not much you can do in the end. To me, if it's gonna happen, there's nothing texting and driving can do to change that.
guys people die drinking water... we cant take steps to stop stupid people. shit happens. its natural selection. if you cant multi task and not crash... then you die, simple as that

people are so heartbroken about stuff like this, yet look at those driving around with phones glued to their ears or held against the wheel while they text.
Bet the same people, even after events like this, do the same thing again. It's an addiction.
A sad story that can happen in the blink of any eye. I hope everyone stops texting and driving and spreads the word. We made a PSA with teens about not texting and driving that is on our channel.
That sucks, Don't get me wrong, but it's kinda hard for me to not get mad at my peers for this kind of behavior. Distracted drivers ( some kids) on thier phones have nearly hit me before and piss people off. What is so hard about being able to put MORE of your attention on the road. It's too bad these guys couldn't figure it out before-hand. All of you need to understand situational awareness, and practice it when driving. TBH, as a young adult, I don't trust you other drivers on the road.
@DrPain189 (continued). Since I don't trust you other drivers, I pay more attention to the road than just about anyone else. I have to look and expect drivers to do stupid stuff, cause you all do! Situational Awareness, people- practice that behind the wheel.
I can see how it would be an easy trap to fall into. You drive so often that it becomes second nature, you text so often that it too becomes natural. So you think why not combine the two since driving is often so damn boring... But sheesh. Is it ever dangerous. My condolences to all families affected by this.
the first girl wasn't even wearing her seat belt while she was texting and driving (although they failed to mention it.) that's called natural selection.
@rickrusselljr she may not have been wearing her seat belt, but the accident probably wouldn't have occurred if she wasn't texting in the first place. i'm sure they failed to mention it because the point of the video is to not text while driving. the seat belt probably would have saved her life, but i think they excluded it because it's not a "Buckle Up for Safety" type video.
@spazamaquati Of couse it won't fix the problem. But the consequences provided as examples should subconciously stick everytime some overly-confident teen whips out their Blackberry on the road. Weather the teen decides to make the decission to put it away is out of the video's hands.
"Another"? Wow... your sarcasm is a rather crusty insult to the people who grieve in this video. Don't waste your time watching "another" video if you're just going to be a sour pickle and inconsiderately spat.
Friends and family have been lost because of texting and driving. It is almost worse or the same as being drunk and driving.
For those who could care less, GTH!!
For those who have lost friends or family members, God bless you!!
There are those of us that have young children in the car with us at any given time of the day and would be totally devasted if they were hurt because someone was texting, like the video says, "IT CAN WAIT". so pls do so!!!!!!!!
This is truly a touching video, but we all need to listen to the message and heed it's warning. Pay attention to the road when you are driving for god sakes! Careless actions like texting and driving is a threat to everyone on the road. I think driving while not looking at the road is about as reckless and stupid as you can get.
BOO - HOO, dumb ass teens, try taking your heads out of asses and pay attention to whats REALLY important. I have more pity for the VICTIMS from all the dipshits who text. GROW-UP !!!!!!!!
sadly enough the people watching this video hits us for a couple minutes but we sure know that most of us will keep texting while driving until thishappens to us or a family member we will understand the significanse of this =( R.I.P
EVERYONE. PLEASE IGNORE FALLOM. DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS-- YOU CAN'T WIN. IGNORE IS THE ONLY CURE. THEY ONLY WANT CONTROVERSY, AND CANNOT ARGUE THEIR POINT. IGNORE TROLLS.
It's sad that the loved ones blame themselves for an act that is obviously the person who is texts and drives fault. Like that guy said, would you close your eyes and drive? And what's worse is that it's not even real conversation. None of those people were having a real connection with the person they were talking with. They were just mindlessly passing time and chose to risk their life for it. All for mindless activity. Shows you something about our society.
I have kids rangingin age 17 to 28 and have sent this to each of them. I've also forward to several other parent and family members. This is a powerful video for this message. I think it will save countless lives.
I know of a good solution. Add an IQ test to the driver test and bar anyone who's an idiot from driving. You have to be pretty fucking retarded to text and drive at the same time.
this is why i dont do anything while driving i wont even talk on the phone ill go park in a parkinglot and call a person back esp..with my son in the car.... this made me cry :(
@armywife323 I agree. Totally teared for that mother celebrating her daughter's birthday w/o her being there. I always get on my husband for texting while he drives and even my mom for just talking on the phone when she drives. I won't even change the radio channel or CD unless I'm stopped at a light, but I know that's probably overboard.
@Jenni4Design yeah made me ball too i have a lil boy and any mother any person with a heart would cry... i dont think its overboard because i do the same thing!!!!!!! here i am 23 and i was told i drive like a granny by a few people before....i wish it was against the law to do it in all states...not that i think people would care but i think it would be a start to a difference...:(
@armywife323 buuurrrr im cold....... speaking of which i think this was a lil to car i was freezing my butt off because i didnt want to look at all the gadgets in my husbands car to figure out how to warm the car up..... soo trust me i totally understand Jen
THANK YOU for sharing, Gmcswain. I posted this to my Facebook account as well. EVERY DAY on my commute I almost get hit by distracted drivers. In the city I often see pedestrians, totally zombified and crossing into busy trafffic because they are tapping out a text message. It is truly a disturbing trend that needs to stop and SOON.
Damn, looks like I better start drinking and driving more often instead...neat and yeah this wouldn't have been so sad if it weren't a cute young girl whom was gonna' graduate the next day...
I have to share this, it touched my heart ! I have to share it with every loved one in my life, if we all shared it with someone we love think of those who will be saved.
I am a over the road truck driver. I drive the continental 48 states and I see the results of texting while driving all the time. It makes me sick to my stomach to see someone texting while driving their car or semi, yes semi. I see a fatal accident once a week, sometimes more. Many caused by texting.
Cellphone companies need to make phones that sense motion through the Gps function, disallowing texting while moving. They have the technology, I bet if you're in an accident while texting, you c
One of my best friends drives the big rigs. Got an award for 100,000 miles with no accidents or tickets. A seventeen year old girl was texting, crossed the center line...my friend tried to avoid the crash but was unsuccessful. The girl died instantly. My friend hasn't been the same ever since. What a senseless loss all the way around.
@noutube The sarcasm is appreciated, thank you. -_-
that's clearly not the issue here. The issue is teenagers texting back and forth for stupid bullshit like the video said. I don't care if it's an "I love you" or a "k", it can wait.
