    I think EVERY teen should see this and EVERY 20 something person out there. I have seen this frist hand and it is a true representation. I'm sorry if some feel it is graphic but guess what LIFE IS GRAPHIC and you don't get to hit "new game" or "start over"..


    I just watched this with all my kids!!!!!!

    I agree it is graphic but there is no start over button......once it's done, it's done. I just watched it with my neighbors daughters, who are teens, not driving yet, but soon. I am going to have my boy's watch it later when they come in.

    Does anyone have a link to the video rather than embeded into the page (as I can't view embeded videos) as I'd like to see what counts as graphic by USA standards, as we (in northern ireland) are often considered to have very graphic ads for road safety compared to the rest of the UK.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Haven't seen that one on TV yet, our current on is for driving without a seatbelt, in which mum, dad & a little girl are playing on a bed, when the VoiceOver starts talking one by one they start to scream and then in slow more they start to get bones broken ect, and it ends with the 3 of them lying broken on the bed.

    I've finally figured out why people crash while texting.

    Texting while driving is such an unutterably stupid thing to do, that the people doing it MUST BE DRUNK OFF THEIR GOURDS to even try.

    That's it! They're actually driving drunk, and killing themselves that way!

    Explains a lot.

It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

    Cosmo magazine recommends that women should never text their man while drunk Little Acorn. I tend to think it is because bi ibw qiyks ybwearbs qgsy uy atsta.

    If you continue to think the way you have always thought, you will continue to get what you have always got!

    A government big enough to provide you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have!
