Common sense (and many a local law) tells you to put the phone down while driving. You've read the studies about why texting while driving is not only a danger to yourself, but to other drivers. Still, we're stubborn, and can't seem to resist the urge to multitask, so we turn our focus away from the road and onto our phones.

picture-44

This mildly lengthy PSA, produced by the Tredegar Comprehensive and Gwent Police, not-so-gently illustrates just why we need to break ourselves of this potentially deadly habit. Warning: not for the faint of heart.

Are we that impatient? Is our safety not that important to us? Please, think before you text and drive. It could cost someone their life!

I agree get a life and stop texting while doing things that require your full attention

I almost got hit by some stupid girl who was texting. Doesn't it make sense that in order to avoid obstacles we have to see them? Well you can't see them if you're looking at your phone! If you MUST text while driving, please wait until you're at a red light, because I don't want to die for your stupidity.

More people need to watch this vid! And it's not just teens, either, because I was in the car with the mother of a girl my age, and she was texting while driving. It's a DISGUSTING habit, and is no different than drinking and driving (at least, in my books).

Remi Logan

POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

Yeah, it's already illegal to do so, but common sense would tell a person that its stupid to text while driving, with or without the help of the law. Anyone who does it anyway is a glowing moron and deserves any punishment or injury they receive from their stupidity. And any lives lost in said accident(s) are on the texter's thick head.

kelseyWRAY

POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

I completely understand this. Personally, I think it's just plain ignorance to text and drive. If it's so important, then it can either wait until you've reached or destination, or pull over, better yet, just call them! Of course, that's illegal too. We've all just become lazy, that's our problem.

this terrified me. a few days ago, I was coming home from an concert and my friends dad was texting while driving. I was completely aware of that and it scared me. This could have been me! Please never text and drive.

For the person a coupla' below me, thank God you're ohkay and I hope she didn't hit anybody else.
That chick could've at least CALLED instead of texting. I don't get what the deal with texting is sometimes, usually you get one worded responses. I'd rather listen to a persons voice.

If you really need to text you can pull over or something, or if you're with someone have them do it for you.
Jeez.
Whats more improtant, writing a message to someone? Or not crashing?
I hate stupid people.
My stepsister texts while driving and I always take her phone and text for her.

Wanna know something else that's stupid. In states there are some rules where you should text 'dwi' to local police when you see someone on the road. hypercritical much? :P

i think they should make it illegal; where i live its only illegal for the first 6 months that you have your license. after that theres no laws stopping people.

@ Renee-you are an idiot.drinking and driving is NOT the same as texting & driving,and do NOT even begin to think so again.I have lost so many friends to drinking and driving,how many have I lost to texting & driving? Zero.So shut it.

As for everyone else,if you can text & drive & not kill everyone-then do it.If you notice you swerve when you text while driving-then stop.Plain & simple.I text while driving all the time,& Im not going to stop.For the most part,I don't even have to look at my phone to text,and when I do,I have the common sense not to look when on a buisy road,or in rush hour or anything.All it takes is alittle common sense,and the crap in that video won't happen.

What is up with these people saying, "If you can text and drive, do it"? Seriously, it should be made illegal on ALL roads, no matter who is doing it. I don't want to drive near anyone stupid enough to divide their attention when they have a several ton piece of metal hurling towards me, no matter how good they are at texting.

haha this was kinda funny because it was so on the borderline of corny and graphic
but if people seriously receive a shock-and-awe induced lesson from it, it's all good i guess
don't text and drive, don't talk on the phone and drive, don't read a map and drive, etc, etc
And if your in the backseat of someone who is, make them stop lol
(nice touch with "Why won't mommy and daddy wake up?" part, totally believable lol)

In the city I live in, it's illegal, and they made keys for teens, so when you put your keys in the ignition, your signal gets lost, so there's no point in texting or calling while driving.

They made it illegal to drive while texting and talking on the phone here. I think it's a good law. When I drive I put my phone in the passenger seat even if somebody is sitting there and if it rings I pull over cause I don't want to get hurt. (:
