British PSA Against Texting and Driving

Ok. This is quite graphic. But that is the point.

We all know that we shouldn't be using our cell phones while driving, but I think it takes a video like this really hit home why we shouldn't.

Put together by a BBC producer & director, this video is part of a larger drama produced for the Gwent Police Department (just outside of London).



Here is some footage of MSNBC discussing the PSA. Sounds like it is already quite a hit (no pun intended). Donny Deutsch even pipes at 2:30 with his thoughts.

    MediaCurves.com just conducted a follow up study with 205 viewers of a Public Service Announcement (PSA) from the U.K. illustrating the dangers of texting and driving. Results showed that the overwhelming majority of viewers (85%) reported that in the last week, they had reduced the amount of text and mobile messages sent while driving as a result of the video. More in-depth results can be viewed at http://www.mediacurves.com/NationalMediaFocus/J7524-Texting-While-Driving-2/Index.cfm
