Graphic Texting and Driving PSA

A new Public Service Announcement about texting while driving is causing some stir. The PSA, with over 1 million YouTube hits, graphically warns teens about the dangers of texting while driving.

A recent Virginia Tech study found that drivers are 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision if texting.

The video shows 2 teen girls driving, giggling, and texting. The driver smashes into another car and after a couple seconds a third car slams into the passenger side. The driver sees her friend dead next to her and become hysterical. It is emotional, bloody and violent, but has the potential to really make teens think.

You can find the video here, but here is the DISCLAIMER: it is very graphic...
