Don't Text Message While Driving!!!!!!
WARNING: This may not be a video in which you want to watch at work. However, it is a message of reality, one in which I believe should be seen by all drivers.
Now this is an effective Public Service Announcement and it certainly went on for a long time. But will people actually get the message? Pun intended.
I believe there should be a cell phone ban PERIOD. Since when do we teach drivers to do so many distracting things while driving? Cell phone use, in whatever form is a real bad one. Worse than the radio changing, worse than the smoking, worse than friends in the car. People, especially our younger people seem to be ADDICTED to their cell phones! When will the support group CPA (Cell phone addicts) get started? I know a few people who definitely need to attend!
AS I drove home tonite I text and I had a hard time. GUILTY I am this taught me a lesson. Please show this to every high school kid and every person applying for a lic.
As a police officer and a parent, I believe that this PSA should be shown at every driving school nationwide. And every other event that teens attend to let it sink in....
A ban for all cell phone use while driving and it being enforced would be even better. Better yet, force every vehicle to put a jammer on their vehicle which will jam the signal of all cell phones if the car is in gear. It's that simple really! I'll bet even those who watch this and text while driving will still continue to do it. I won't take pity on you if you hit me while texting OR while talking on your phone!
