British Texting While Driving PSA

[teller]

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

I wish it were that obvious. I have a teenager who is about to get her license and it scares the crap out of me. A car is as deadly as a gun.

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.

Rest assured that the UK does not have the market cornered on morons.

I just wish natural selection worked a little faster.

A car is as deadly as a gun.

Maybe even deadlier since guns seem to engender a little more respect and caution from the people using them.

I passed my test years ago now, and while I did drive for a couple of years, I am now just a bit out of practice, and to be honest frightened!

I know everyone mocks me for being a scardey-cat but if there's one thing that can really be dangerous if you are feeling nervous, it's driving a car.

My parents also worried a lot when I started driving, and I had a terrible experience on the way home on my first evening driving solo. Two guys in separate cars were kind of trapping me and making me stop and start along a very long dangerous road. It was dark and I had no experience. I was so frightened, I actually went home crying!

All you can do is make her aware of the risks, but then again it doesn't have to be the driver to make the mistake. That's what's so rubbish about car accidents.

Again... Uhh whenever there's a wedding or some sort of a celebration, or if Turkey has won a football match, people start shooting guns and someone dies or gets injured. Forgive me for being such a crybaby though.

Yeah, I don't have my license yet, but I'm incredibly scared of even being a passenger in a car. And my guess would be that more people die in car accidents than in shootings, but I could be wrong.

After seeing all of the "THINK" ads Britain clearly doesn't fcuk around.

Agreed. In school hallways, I'm pretty reckless, I jump over people, randomly throw my books in the air, crash into people, knock them down (especially while solving 2 cubes in one hand), sprint, wall run...
In a car, I'm more cautious than the slowest old ladies.
