We have all done it, texting or surfing the internet while driving.
This is a great video that I think everyone with a cell phone should watch. Even if you already have a system for preventing this (like putting the phone in the back of the car for example), it is useful to be aware that there are a lot of irresponsible drivers out there texting/surfing the internet while they drive.
I used to be ok with using my phone at Red Lights, but now believe that this is also probably a bad idea because it conditions the habit of using the phone while driving. If it’s an emergency, pull over and make the call / text. Whatever the message is you need to communicate, it can wait.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a daughter who is 16 and I made her sit down with me and watch this video together. Texting/talking on the phone while driving is prohibited in our household cars. I pray that others catch on real fast after viewing this video.
Wow! Powerful video. I have a son who will be driving in 1 year. He currently sends about 3500 text per month. This is a huge problem with our youth…..texting. As adults, we must set the example when we are behind the wheel!
Thank you so much for sharing this clip! It’s a good reminder to all of us!
Extremely powerful and emotional video. One message that we should get to all manufacturers is ti disable the texting feature of their units when the unit detects motion, similarly to the way GPS systems work in a car, in order to make changes of any kind you have to pull over. Same thing should be done with phones… Every time I purchase a new (AT&T) unit for an employee at work, there is a reminder sticker on the display "PLEASE DON’T TEXT & DRIVE", it is a constant reminder, not enough… I’m sure this idea is in the works somewhere…
Thank you, thank you for this! I am so glad I watched this. I may repost as well if that is ok? I think everyone should see this! I was really moved to tears. I dont text while driving but if I get a call I do glance at my phone. From now it will be in the back of my car.
I posted this on my facebook wall and will have my oldest child who drives, watch it.
Thanks so much for sharing this…our daughter will be driving this summer. Powerful video for everyone!!
