    The film to be shown in area schools as part of a 30-minute deterrent movie about “texting while driving.” It’s effective, violent and bloody. That’s probably the point.

    Editors Note: VIN News decided to post this video to deter drivers to text while operating an automobile, especially teenagers.

    A friend of mine was recently involved in a “small” accident due to texting, B”H no injuries… The other car was a parked car!!! The damages of both cars ran up to $6,000!!! So, if you don’t care about your life, at least care about the money.

    This MUST be shown to every Jewish girls high school and seminary student immediately.

    (We happen to know of a Jewish sem student who was killed, BD”H, in an auto accident; I don’t know if texting or cell phones were involved. Nevertheless, she was NOT wearing a seat belt and was, BH”H, thrown from the car. By the way, that’s how MOST fatalities occur in auto accidents. Buckle up and live!)

    As Bob Heinlein (ztl) said “Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can’t help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.”

    Any adult who has to be reminded this dramatically that texting while driving is stupid may be beyond help.

    THIS IS FOR ALL AGES NOT JUST TEENS. Just yesterday I had a guy swerve into my lane like he was drunk, he wasnt he was on his blackberry typing, or should I say ‘drunk on his berry’.
    Last year I saw a lady go right through a red light. She stopped at the next light because of traffic and when she was confronted that she went through the light, her face turned white, she had no idea at all, why because she was on her cell phone chatting away.
    BOTH were frum 50 year olds (or so). THIS WARNING APPLIES TO ALL!
    May we be extra careful in the car and may Hashem protect all of us!

    It needs to be shown in all Yeshivos, if only it was a bit more Tzenius’dik.

    Hatzalah should make their own version for frum Yidden.

    did you hear the neck snap? Although this video is well intended, scare tactics have been proven (I admit I have no citation) to only stop dangerous behavior temporarily. When we can no longer handle the stress of thinking of a gory threat we just turn to denial. This wears off rather quickly.
    Better luck next time British Gov.

    This is a “REAL” video. The entire thing, from beginning to end. They had a camera in the car and there were two stander by’s with cameras for the aftermath…

    Make your children (male & female) watch this video. Then make them watch it AGAIN. Don’t worry the boys will NOT be focused on the girls bare stomach (they have all seen worse). You may be saving their lives. Parents watch it with them, both times. You may be saving your life. It doesn’t matter if it’s real or a reenactment.

    I have taught Traffic Level ll to hundreds of people over the years; teens through seniors. I’m often asked for video entertainment to help enliven the 2 day program…I think I found some. Young and old think this will never happen to them as they protest, “I can’t drive 55” or “Sometimes a phone call is too important to ignore.” They’ll just pay the fine and do the time. That’s the thinking. Is this video ‘over the top?’ Not at all. The technology to end this scourge exists. And it is simple. If moving faster than 10 mph the cell phone or similar devise will not work. Speed is detected remotely and a signal is sent to the devise to go on stand-by. However, even the mere suggestion of such an idea is so abhorrent that a chorus of self righteous indignation ensues. Legislators, voters, concerned individuals take heed and act now. To ‘coin’ a phase, “the life you save may be your own.”
