Tredegar Comprehensive School and Gwent Police (Gwent is located in south-east Wales,UK) present a half hour drama entitled 'COW' --The film that will stop you from texting and driving," with SPECIAL EFFECTS BY ZIPLINE CREATIVE http://www.ziplinecreative.co.uk (this is a trailer video)

COW: Its all about Cassie COWan a nice girl from a Gwent valleys family who kills four people on the road because she used her mobile and lost her concentration for a few seconds. Gwent police is proud to have helped Brynmawr filmmaker Peter Watkins- Hughes in the production, which stars local drama students Jenny Davies as Cassie, and Amy Ingram and Laura Quantick as her friends, Emm and Jules.

It is hoped this film will become part of the core schools programme across Wales and the UK and ultimately worldwide.

Gwent Police facilitated the films crash scenes because we want to stop ALL drivers, but particularly young and new ones, from causing accidents.


Over 300 teenagers from all over Wales were auditioned to take part in the film, nine police vehicles were involved and both the police and air ambulance helicopters featured.

State of the art digital special effects were utilised to show the impact of what would happen inside the car during impact. 

Lyn Samuel, School Liaison Coordinator for Gwent Police said: We worked closely with the production team including the University of Wales Newport, Tredegar Comprehensive School and local partners including the council and Probation Service. The result is a very impactive road safety educational tool to help reduce the number of collisions involving young drivers across Wales. Chief Inspector John Pavett from Gwent Police Roads Policing Unit hopes the serious message in this film will hit home to viewers:

Making and receiving calls and texting whilst driving is still happening on roads not just in Gwent but all over the country"

Seeing a scenario, like the one Cassie goes through, played out right before your eyes makes you realise how extremely dangerous it can be and what devastating consequences it can have.

I hope that after watching this film motorists will think twice before picking up their mobile phone when behind the wheel and realise that a quick reply to a text message or answering a phone call is never worth putting theirs and other peoples lives at risk.

It should be noted that here in Wales, we use the word "taster" instead of "teaser" as we're giving you a "taste" of what the full 30-minute video is like.

  • oh my gosh...so sad. and the image of the baby at 2:04 is just....terrifying. I really hope this video, as graphic as it is, gets the point across.

  • Safety tip: any and all hands free device usage(s) earpiece(s) or not is very+ dangerous to use while driving.

  • "mommy, daddy, wake up!" that's so sad

  • its not fair that she gets to live and everyone else including tht little baby lose their lives when she's the cause of all this.

  • Its sad that these videos have been made because some people out there still just dont understand how dangerous it is yet. Who can say its an encroachment on freedom? Speed limit, stopping at a stop sign/red light, not driving drunk, etc. are only to protect, not disable. If judgment is impaired, the safety of others is at risk. Dont make a selfish choice that will take someones life. Have someone else write it, pull over, or just wait.

  • @WONDOCTORJ they ban texting while driving to save your life. would you like your daughter to be driving and texting and end up killed like in this video because it can sure as hell happen to anyone. she doesn't even have to be texting. she could just be a person in the car driving along.. think about THAT....

  • @znepermann Communism keeps us safe huh, u commie.

  • @WONDOCTORJ dude you're an arrogant douche. what are you going to teach your daughters friends? what are you going to teach the driver that hits your daughter in a cross walk? how can you teach someone that doesnt want to be taught? I sincerely hope you wake up in the morning and slap yourself every single day. Hey D-bag, it IS illegal to drive while eating and jerking off. Its call indecent exposure. If brains were dynamite you wouldnt have enough to blow your own damn nose. Slave... Ha

  • @znepermann I will teach my daughter not to be a moron thanks.......I don't need the government to raise my kids, nor do I need you to. Worry about yourself. When do the bans stop? Ban texting, ban one hand on the wheel.....whats next? ban jerking off and eating while driving. You are a good little slave aren't you.

  • @WONDOCTORJ yeah say that when its your daughter and a car full of her friends.
