Default Public Service Announcement - Texting and Driving

This is a UK ad that appeared on television last month I believe. Pretty graphic if you are squeemish.

It's just too bad the message doesn't get through to most. Everyone has the atitude, it won't happen to me.

Thanks for posting that.

Why don't we have PSAs like that here? (That's probably a rhetorical question...)

I remember growing up as a kid in the UK watching some PSA's. they weren't as exotic as this in the 70's just a policeman on TV telling you the rules of the road .. They were quite efective actually and served to " educate" the ignorant. The most popular one was telling people to stay out of the passing lane unless you are passing. .. as this causes agresive drving if you cruise out there... that was 30 years ago .. sound familiar ?
