A Film About the Dangers of Texting and Driving
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.
General Motors to Drop G.M. Logo
General Motors has decided to remove the “G.M. Mark of Excellence” logos from its Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models. The logo has been on the vehicles since 2005. The reason given is that G. M. wants to emphasize these remaining brands. Research has shown that their customers think more of the individual brands than they do of General Motors in light of all their financial problems.
