    The video has a point but is pure scare tactics. I'd like to say such graphic images are unnecessary/patronising but unfortunately it's the only way to get through to thickskulls like the girl in the video.

    That video definitely made my stomach turn. It is sad that it takes something so graphic to get peoples attention nowadays though.

    Text while you're not moving or on a very empty road :I If you can do it safely, then sure, whatever.

    That's not too graphic for TV, they flood the TV with a bunch of stupid sex BS and overdone random bs why not actually show people what really happens when you decided to be stupid?

    The video is a little graphic and unrealistic, but it does get a point across

    Deaths due to driving are down 50% over the last 20 years or so, and the amount of drivers has almost doubled. We are a lot safer now than 20 years ago due to seat belts, air bags etc. There was a study released by some car company that said that texting, talking on the cell phone, eating aren't nearly as dangerous as people claim them to be. The MOST dangerous thing one can do in a car while driving is chasing a moving object, like an apple or something that's rolling around in the passenger seat floorboard
