That texting while driving film in full - warning: *graphic* (vehicle, traction)

Made in Britain for just a few thousand pounds: The graphic road safety film that's taken the world by storm | Mail Online

It is beyond me why there has not been a ban on texting/non "hands-free" cell phone use across the entire US.

The distraction levels involved are far worse than for those relating to drink and drug impairment.

I have never seen such atrocious driving habits as I have here in the US - people with animals on their laps, people almost asleep at the wheel, people texting, not indicating, I even saw some moron reading the fricking paper whilst doing 75 on the highway the other day

Unbelievable.

I travelled in a vehicle recently with someone who "doesn't like to wear a rear seatbelt because it's uncomfortable" - this was not some colossally obese person, far from it (not that anyone should have an excuse for not buckling up in EVERY seat)

I pointed out that in the event of a crash they would probably kill the person sat in front of them and in all likelihood would exit via the front windscreen.

Absolutely moronic.

They're all over the US.

I thought people drove badly in the UK but compared to here - sheesh.

I can't count the number of times I've been driving down the interstate when I see somebody up ahead weaving in and out of the lane, only to pass them and find that they're trying to send a text.
