I don't think i've ever seen that on tv. seems a bit long, maybe more like the opening part to an episode of casualty.

we've got a whole load of that sort of thing on tv though, all part of the 'Think!' campaign..

Who texts while driving? I can't think of a much worse idea.

This is so totally Brittish, our channels are full of powerful stuff like this that discourage texting while driving, drink driving, drunk driving, driving without a seatbelt. They are pretty shocking but we have so many morons in this country that insist on driving like hooligans that this sort of thing is the only hope of getting through to them.

There is one particularly bad one, which I can't find, which is often shown at the cinema. It shows a man who has killed a child while driving in various different situations and he always sees the dead child. Under his desk, by his bed, out the window etc. It's so very poignant.

I have known of too many people dying from driving related incidents, and that is why, if you have been in a car with me, you will have noticed that I am always terrified if you do anything remotely unsafe, even for a second!

Everybody.

If txting diverts concentration from driving, I hate to think how cubing affects your driving

If it was only going to be the driver of the car that was hurt by doing such stupid things, then fine, knock yourself out, make a replica of the Titanic out of matchsticks while cruising along the motorway, but when you have passengers you have to be a moron. There was recently a terrible case in the UK of a lorry driver who wiped out an entire family, including several kids and a newborn baby because he was on his phone.

This happens all the time in my country sadly. Deaths are like a part of the news now. Even today I saw a car crash while coming home.
