shocking video

Post by darrenwall »

i just watched this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I54mlK0 ... o_response video about texting whilst driving and all i got to say is :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: .

its pretty graphic and i gotta admit at 2:04 minutes in it brought a lump to my throat cos i got 4 kids myself and my youngest is about the same age as the baby in the video :cry: .

wot do u think of it and even tho using a mobile whilst driving is illegal i very much doubt everyone on here has stopped using them cos ill admit i didnt but after watching this video it has really made me scared to use mine while driving cos i could never live with myself if i hurt any of my family or anyone else for that matter :!:
just dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians

Been around a while that, I don't myself, not that I'd cross the center line or something stoopid but I need all my concentration for when the next ignorant pillock pulls out on me...

Unfortunately I doubt it has any effect on its target audience, at that age it won't happen to you...

Thats horrible, i reckon new drivers should be made to watch that.. As that will send a shiva up there spine i tell ya.. Why do people do it, it's not clever and not right.. I see people in brand new Beemer's & Merc's driving and on the phone :x Cant they afford a hands free kit... Its' no excuse.. I've never used my phone while driving, i always say if its urgent, then either pull-over in a lay-by or wait until you get to your destination..

That's very realistic. I see loads of young invincibles texting while driving, you can spot them a mile off - usually looking down at their laps whilst driving :roll:

I'd say texting is much more dangerous than talking on the phone.

That's because they made holding a phone illegal so they think by putting it in their lap they can avoid being done. They should have just actually started doing people for driving without due care and attention, at least that way the idiots would have their eyes somewhere near the road instead of down in their laps. But wait, silly me, that would involve them actually doing work and catching people instead of just passing more BS laws
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Coppers don't pass laws, they just apply them (no matter how stupid.)

Well there genitalia should be microwaved or 'nuked' to stop the possibility of them breeding further...
