You aren’t the only one, man. I posted twice. WordPress is a mess. Never liked it.

This is a very tough video. I hope more people take it seriously

I agree to an extent .. I consider my self to be a pretty smart person and rather rational .. and I am still tempted to text while driving and have done so on a number of occasions. I don’t normally take these ” red asphalt ” videos seriously and probably have been desensitized like you .. But for some reason this one resonated with me … to the point that I even posted it on Facebook which I NEVER do … like a previous poster said if it makes one person realize then it is worth it .

The video, like many others, is to bring the problem to light, the more its acknowledged, the more people will refrain from doing so. Its not supposed to solve the problem. Do we really need to trick and minipulate our selves when all it takes is putting the phone down for a sec. I was told prevention is cheaper than the cure. In this case, it still holdes true. Not to preach, but sometimes we all get to caught up with technology and life, we forget whats really going on around us. Anyways, Happy New Years everyone, be safe

2011: No Texting & Driving .
Perfect New Year’s Resolution don’t you guys think!(:

“What do you think Google could do to help with the texting and driving problem?”

Not sell phones to adults with so little self control they feel like they have to answer their damn phones every time they play “Who Let the Dogs Out?”

Not really a problem for me, personally. I just don’t answer my phone or make phone calls while driving. I will allow myself to do so, perhaps, the day I am racing to defuse a nuclear weapon and the CIA and FBI are arguing over which route I should take to get around traffic.

The issue is that people nowadays more and more just think only about themselves. When you drive, you should think about all the other people on the road and that you don’t want them to get hurt either.

“Thinking more about other people” is what the new year’s resolution should be…

There must be some underlying mental block in the people who would even consider texting while driving. A fundamental lack of judgement and awareness of the sheer folly.

Even holding a conversation with someone in the same car brings a degree pf risk, if that conversation distracts the driver from what is happening on the road ahead.

Operating any device other than the controls of the car is a risky action. If that involves taking your eyes off the road _and_ shifting your mental attention from driving to a text conversation, it has got to be a danger. Texting while driving is symptomatic of an irresponsible attitude towards other road users.

People caught doing this should be banned from driving.

It really makes me think. Ive texted and drove loads of times, even had a near miss. But this. shows me the effect of that stupidity from other people and families lives. It will certainly make me think in the future.
