They should air this commercial here in America.

They should, shit like that does happen, i see it all the time.

[aar0n.]

Leave it to the Brits to make something as extreme as possible. Fucking **** their nanny state attitude towards everything, though I do agree that texting and driving is a terrible idea. Surprisingly enough, older people are more likely to do it than teenagers, contrary to popular belief

It happened to me twice last week. People texting then crossing the line, almost had a head on collision because of them.

[.:Heather:.]

wow...

[rGrissM3]

that was fucking absurd

I totaled my Galant by T boning some dip shit cause of that. Hit the windshield, knocked it onto the hood, and the air bag went off after I was on my way back to the seat smashing me in the face. I had my seat belt on but was adjusting it at the moment to get some hot KFC off my lap. Pushed the dip onto someones stoop.

Totaled both cars. Got nothing out of it cause cell phones laws arent hard enough,or at least at the time. She was able to blame it on traffic conditions instead.

It can happen, I would rather people talk, not that I care for either.

This made me laugh. Nanny state attitude towards everything! Give me some examples? Have you ever even been here? Doubt it.

*Edit: Or was this aimed at the Welsh?

I think the ad is pretty sobering. Yeah its pretty much the worst case scenario but the law is in place because this happens on a day to day basis but people still do it.
A local MP a bit back smashed into some fella by the side of the motorway seeing to his broken down car. Claimed he didn't see him but it was on Christmas day so there was no-one on the roads. Turns out he was on his phone texting when it happened. He was sent down.

They did some drink driving ones as well which had a similar impact.

its actually not that absurd, sure its a bit dramatized, but that shit happens. I've read depos of accidents like that, its sad, but people are fucking stupid.

super old video, but definitely puts it in perspective

My phone has voice to text.
Makes texting while driving as simple as a phone call.

MOT, speed cameras, ridiculous taxes (I believe the top tax bracket pays 50% or something like that), etc. You can't sit here and tell me the UK is the land of the free lol. Government intervenes with quite a bit over there, doesn't seem too fun imo

a little extreme but should be shown in drivers ed classes i think
