The Gwent Police Department in southeast Wales has made a film on the dangers of Texting and Driving. This very explicit and gory video, which runs four minutes, has been watched over four million times on YouTube.
In the film a young driver is texting as she is driving two friends along a two lane road. Distracted, the car drifts into oncoming traffic, hits another vehicle and has another vehicle crash into her vehicle killing her friends. But if that’s not enough, it shows close ups of a girls head hitting against a car window, and a baby in one of the other cars.
Some American companies are currently making their own videos to promote a stronger awareness about the dangers of texting and driving.
