Even though I don't really drive anymore except sometimes on the weekends, I thought the following commercials were really poignant and hopefully for those of you who drive you will remember to both wear your seatbelt and not text or use a cell phone while driving! The first one is kind of touching, but be warned, the second ad was done in the UK and is graphic enough that it was banned from playing in the US. 
 


Don't press play if you don't want to see blood. The danger caused by texting while behind the wheel is no joke, and as an extremely graphic PSA from the UK shows in almost unbearable detail, the results can be truly deadly. The more than 4-minute video, which shows a group of teenage girls getting into a head-on collision while the driver of the car text messages, has caused some strong reactions due to its graphic nature, with some people asking if it goes too far. While it is no doubt hard to watch at points, it certainly gets the point across.
