Don’t Text While Driving PSA = Incredibly Disturbing
Each year, 21% of fatal car crashes involving teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 were the result of cell phone usage. Usage of which is increasing on average of 4% per year. We’ve all heard it, driving while texting has bitch slapped drunk-driving off it’s pedestal as the thing you really shouldn’t do while driving.
However, nothing has quite personified such facts and statistics as this PSA produced by Gwent Police Department in Wales. They’ve managed to take a PSA and make it almost a beautiful opener into either : A. Horror Film or B. Sean of the Dead 2. Warning, not for the faint of heart. Enjoy. I did.

To all the people who say that teens are stupid should be ashamed of your selves, Teens arn’t stupid at all they learn from everything ie: parents, friends, TV, ect… So before you go and say teens are stupid maybe if the media and parents paid more attention to this epidemic teens would pay more attention, as far as the video goes its a good video i believe it should be linked to every site that teens and adults mostly visit.
Its fake
…yes, teens are stupid. as every adult has posted here, kids are stupid, but many don’t appreciate how you don’t give them the chance to be treated like adults. parents keep treating them like kids, text them MORE, that’s the reason the get into trouble, stop with keeping tabs on them all the time, if you trust them to drive, leave them alone while they do it. i truthfully bet half the time parent have something to do with it, why does it matter if it’s a ‘friend’ texting as opposed to you. they all see these movies in driver’s ed, why is this one so great? it’s horribly made.
its not bad, but parents think twice.
This proves a point about not texting while driving AND about wearing your seatbelt.
im a paramedic, its pretty forward but it is te truth! iv seen worse because of it, its simple dont be an idiot, and its sad they had to make this video this bad to get a point across!
Show this to your kids and talk to them about this. Show them that you love them and care about them.This could happen to you! Life is short and we can only protect the ones we love. It doesnt happen to others it happens to YOU & YOUR LOVED ONES. Pass this on.
ryan you had me crying with your wrong side of the road comment hahaha. and then i read petes lame and cool teenagers comment and almost died laughing again. thx for the hilarious comments….and whoever wrote hurry text 911 hahaha…..how funny.
and why did the girl in the passengers seat die if SHE WAS WEARING HER SEATBELT!!!! hmm
This public service announcement needs to be seen by everyone. To let everyone know how dangerous it is to drive a smartcar. These things kill more people than anything else on the road.
Kids, if your going to text and drive, make sure you are in a SUV or a hummer so the only people that get hurt are the people you run into.
Smartcars and texting don’t mix.
Yes, teenagers do really stupid shit sometimes. But I cant believe the gall of some of these people on here saying its just teens who do this. That bull and you know it. Countless times I have witnessed “upstanding adult members of society” partaking in this dangerous activity. In fact the very people who are supposed to enforce safe driving are regularly caught on their own cell phones texting and talking. Just 2 years ago a 17 year old kid died because a 35 year old man got too comfortable behind the wheel and was on his phone and didnt see the kid pulling out. Slammed into him at 74 miles per hour. Not only was he texting, he was going almost 35 mph past the legal limit. Its not only teens, older adults who have had years behind the wheel simply get too comfortable and think they can handle multitasking on the road. I think EVERYBODY should watch this, teens and adults.
This is a great video. It should be shown DAILY to all drivers ed students. Were talking about saving lives here. Life is to precious to be risked over something thoughtless or careless. There are no second chances.
I lold, serves the stupid bitch right.
Somebody call the WAAAAAHHHMBULANCE
“teenagers are horrible!” elders do it too,k thanks.
incredibly disturbing and in my opinion,offensive. (reminds me of Sean of the Dead,laughable and slightly gruesome)it didn’t need to be so gory…or long.
Very compelling video. Of course there are many adults who drive carelessly, but catch them early, as teens, and hopefully you can stop poor habits BEFORE they start. Showed this video to my son who just got his permit and he said they showed scarier stuff in drivers ed. Good. I’ve always told him that driving is a HUGE responsibility. You’re basically in a 2500 lb bullet. He’s a smart and responsible kid, but i wanted to drive (no pun intended) home my point. Many people think kids don’t listen, but be persistent, they just act as if they don’t hear. If your kid laughs at this video, keep hold of your car keys. It’s our duty as a parent to do everything we can to protect and prepare them for life.
For all of you saying it won’t sink into a teens head, you don’t understand how wrong you are. I am a teen, and I do text while I drive, and on more than one occasion I’ve found myself veering off the road. Luckily I don’t ever start to move into on coming traffic, but it’s only a matter of time. Watching this video gave that really deep sinking feeling in my stomach and is seriously changing my mind about what I do while I drive. I also play games with killing and gore, racing games with big crashes, watch horror films and make jokes about everything under the Sun. However, that doesn’t mean this didn’t affect me at all. Not to mention if someone is laughing at the crying girl after all of this they need more than a PSA, time to see a psychiatrist about your screwed up thoughts. Anyway, great video. Should really leave a lasting impression.
This really puts the message through that you shouldn’t text or call whilst driving. Also, it’s “Shaun of the Dead” not “Sean of the Dead”
I lol’d
HAHAHAHA THOSE CUNTS GOT MEGA OWNED!!!! MAYBE IF THEY WERENT TEXTING AROUND TRYIN TO FIND SOME DICK TO SUCK THAT WOULD HAPPEN..
SLUTS THESE DAYS
This is good, even if many do not listen if this ends up saving a single young life it has done its has done its job. Keep it up
kiss my ass
Not sure how I feel about this…as a parent of two teens (that do exceptionally well in school, are articulate and intelligent, in most ways) that drive (and, consequently, have gotten tickets and in small fender-benders already in spite of the intelligence factor), I’m not sure the idea sinks in that “this can happen to me.” In fact, given what I see on the road as a driver myself, from adults, I don’t get the impression that too many drivers get the message that IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. To me, this video is simply sensationalizing tragedy, I’m not sure that it will stop the problem. The bigger problem seems to be missing…a sense of entitlement by many drivers on the road…the thought that wherever I am going is more important than being safe, a sense of “get out of my way because I don’t care what you have to do, what I have to do is more urgent,” even if it’s just going to the mall. Until ALL drivers…teens and those who are older (and should know better) decide that caring about others is important enough to stop being careless, thoughtless, reckless on the road due to selfishness, stupidity will continue.
I, as a teenager, don’t text behind the wheel personally. And many kids do these days. They need a real hit of realization of what could potentially happen… Sadly, this seems to be the only way to get the point across. This video is growing in popularity all over the Internet, including Youtube, which is accessed by teens by the millions every day. I hope this voices what your parents, teachers, and other people around you have been trying to tell you before. Because if it doesn’t, it soon might be too late for you.
Who is this STUPID when they text and drive? THese girls weren’t even looking at the road at all. I looked at the road more than my phone when I text while driving.
this is very true. but i think adults have no reason to critize teens.
WE ALL do things that we’re not supposed to do while driving.
so don’t look at this video and connect this to teenagers.
think about when you are dialing a number on the interstate or when you are putting on makeup on your way to work.
we all are at fault. teenagers are not the only people who get in accidents. i don’t care how long you have been driving. this video needs to be a wake up call to EVERYONE
its called t9 you dont need to look at your phone while your texting….
If these videos really worked as a deterent, the ones that we all need to watch on drunk driving and driving under the influence should be enough to deter anyone from DUI, but it hasn’t. All these videos really do is draw us into drama that none of us really need. And by seeing these videos over and over again, eventually it just desensitizes us to the message, which is really what is important.
This video is awesome. It highlights the realities of natural selection. I have come to understand it is not a tragedy when dumb bitches get themselves killed while doing something stupid.

…Cause she broke her neck-didn’t you hear the craaack??
this was good as a teen myself with experience of lost friends due to txting. i reminded me why txting should be against the law when driving. it was kind disturbing but it needs more death blood and a bit more realism. most teens would think this was a joke
WoW! that was sweet is that a scene from the new final destination movie. thats not gonna work on many people no matter ow many times you show it. People are only going to stop doing it when it happens to them or somebody they know. But it looks sweet great quality Blood!
I fapped!
hAHA this video waz hiarious….. ive watched it like 12 times….. soo amazingly bloody and graphic…… im texting this in my carr right know:)
I recently came across a blog post in consumer reports about a new free mobile phone application to help combat distracted driving called DriveSafe.ly that reads your texts and emails to you while you are driving.
It looked pretty interesting so I tried it. I have a BlackBerry and it has really helped me when I’m on the road because it keeps me from texting while driving. It works through my Bluetooth and it can actually send an auto-response to the sender. I’ve had some fun with customizing the auto-response messages. I’m not that technical but it’s easy to use. I recommend people checking out http://www.DriveSafe.ly
