Texting While Driving / PSA Video

Texting While Driving / PSA Video. COW - UK Texting PSA. Creative Commons license: Public Domain

The danger caused by texting while behind the wheel is no joke, and as an extremely graphic PSA from the UK shows in almost unbearable detail, the results can be truly deadly. The more than 4-minute video, which shows a group of teenage girls getting into a head-on collision while the driver of the car text messages, has caused some strong reactions due to its graphic nature, with some people asking if it goes too far. For example, the PSA, apparently produced by the Gwent Police Department in Wales, shows the girls heads snapping back and forth violently as glass shatters and blood pours forth. While it is no doubt hard to watch at points, it certainly gets the point across.

No, this isn't over the top. This can/does happen when people don't use their brains. You should NOT text while driving. In many states, testing while driving is illegal. If anyone thinks it's ok to text and drive then they either need to go back to driving school or have their license taken away, simple as that.

We watched this video today while doing an up-date in advanced trauma life support. it is realistic and as true to life as you can get. I wish all 17 year olds could watch this after taking there test. I have lost count of the amount of teenagers I have taken to hospital from road traffic collisions, fatally injured and with life threatening injuries.
