So, a friend of mine and I had a discussion going last night about this video posted on FB. Txting while driving. This has got to be the most graphic video ive watched, yet make a GOOD POINT!!Ithink it does a great job at getting the point across, I know no one i drive with will be txting while im in the car LOL What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIqO2IBR8aY
I saw this one too earlier, and it was really scary D: I don't "text and drive" myself, I'm too scared XD even though I can text without looking that much, I just dont like it. And I hope that campaign scares people from it. It's realistic ):
LoL, i dont think their sleeping I heard that it only takes .2 seconds to glance down at your phone, and then end up in an accident like this. Scary stuff Shocked the shiet of out me lol Off topic: I love your siggy Freja
wow, that's a scary fact, jamie o0 didn't know that either. I guess you really have to be careful while driving. I don't like having my phone with me while driving though D: and thanks I like yours too !
Well i have this horrible fear of accidents and suffer from post pardom stress disorder after being in a HORRIBLE car accident, so ive learned lots of interesting facts. Think thats why this video scared the crap outta me. And gave my 11yr old sister nightmares (i told her not to watch lol) So, if it has the same effect on other ppl, that it did on me then maybe ppl will be alittle more aware. And thank you Piggy was very nice and did it for me so i didnt have to look at that icky purple level one siggy any more lol *wants to roll with the level 4s and 5s like you* Gawdd i love it here
Texting while driving is a big no no in my book. Stuff like this does really happen, and thats scary.
My folks say that it is too graphic. I say it needs to be, so kids these days even pay attention. We can watch gorey movies like Saw and not be phased. We shoot people every day in our video games. You want kids to pay attention? Make it graphic. Then they will notice, pay attention, and stop texting while driving. (and yeah, I think it's bad. I couldn't ever do it myslef -_-)
I use my typing phone while i'm holding the steering wheel, it's not hard to notice if you're in your lane or not =/
err, I kind of don't want to look, using your cell while driving is becoming illegal in New Zealand soon so hopefully less cellphone related car accidents will happen, but yeah your a danger on the road if your attention is somewhere else.
if it's the same ad i'm thinking of, good on them. nothing like graphic images to convey a message. and given the fact that you're talking about it on a forum now, its served its purpose
Haha , Fck. REALITY CHECK But yeah teens( and everybody else who drives) need to pay more attention when they drive not only are they putting themselves in danger but innocent human beings.
seems like the video even made it to yahoo news.. http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/famil...xting_and_driving_becomes_global_internet_hit
Wow, that's scary, but that's nice video editing -- it's pretty realistic. It kinda scared me although I can text without looking in my pocket XD, I'm never gonna 'text and drive'.
The moral of the story dont buy a ka buy a 4x4? Keep women off the road? Nah just messing even i have text while drivng but its only ever been at traffic lights now tho i just call its quicker and safer (hands free) i have seen a lot of people texting and on the phone normally i dont think it will ever stop
It didn't bother me until I noticed one of the teens has the same shirt as one of my friends, then It hit home. Scared the crap outta me but I wont text while driving now x.x
well im glad i could bring a little realization to all of you. XD Charzz- I was the same way intil i seen the dead girl in the backseat.. she struck a nerve with me too.. looks a lil to much like myself lol.
That really is hard-hitting... How awful was the bit that showed the dead baby? I thought it was amazingly put together though... Other ad campaigns that I've seen that were going for the 'shock factor' have been pretty short, I suppose because they were trying to emphasise how quickly an accident can happen and perhaps partly because they weren't really sure how far they could push the audience. This one worked really well though because it was so much longer. When the next car hit them, that really shocked me. I wasn't expecting it. You thought it was over and then, well, it wasn't.
Ya, seeing the baby is really hard. Its something NO ONE wants to see. And the kids calling for his dad, and hes dead. Very Sad too Like i said before ^^ Very graphic but its THEE best Txting while driving campaigne ive seen yet!
