You've got to see this Ad and pass it on to your kids and grand kids. It's in a theater in Hong Kong among unsuspecting theater goers.
Click on YouTube above or the Direct Link I will try to post in Comment #2 box. It's worth your time and could save a life...... probably yours.

Just sent to my three kids!
If anyone remembers the old "this is your brain on drugs" ad that was part of the campaign against drug abuse some years ago, it's worth noting that it didn't do anything to fix the problem.
Excellent! I’ve forwarded it to my kids — especially one son who has a bad habit of jusing his cell phone on the road.
Agree.
Probably about as real as the Jeff Gordon / Used car salesman video.
Still good though.
I hope the next person killed by a distracted driver is not one of your relatives. Florida has made it illegal to text and drive and yet I see it happening hundreds of times a day. Texting and driving is equally as bad as DUI. Please tell your loved ones not to do it. IT CAN WAIT TILL YOU STOP THE CAR.

What does that tell you?

Driving in an irresponsible manner is bad no matter how it is manifested.
Since retiring, I leave my cel phone more and more at home (or becomes 'lost' ((code for, I Forget Where I Left It)) in the pocket of a shirt or coat) and only occasionally do I regret it.
Many older people have, like me, a traditional phone ring tone (instead of some hip hop music? clip) and so if a phone goes off in the check out line ... one or two of us check OUR phones ...
Pavlov should be studied more
I hate ads like this.

Well then, let the ignorant little bastards keep texting and driving and text their way into hell in a split second. It’s the innocent people that they kill that concerns me.
NO ONE TEXTED ... all they did was answer the phone ... they HAD to .... they're (WE'RE !!! ) conditioned to answer the phone.
Except my wife ... she drives me nuts ...
puttering around in the kitchen, phone rings, 20 steps away ... MAYBE she'll answer it before the answering machine kicks in after 6 rings.
“Florida has made it illegal to text and drive and yet I see it happening hundreds of times a day.
What does that tell you?”
It tells me that more ads like this one should be played on TV, movie theaters, and similar media to get people’s attention. I was just responding to your comment that “I hate ads like this.” Of course, I have a personal reason for my beliefs, my wife was killed by a drunk driver.
My windows phone has this cool feature that works really well. It knows when you are driving and will text a reply to incoming calls and texts stating that you are busy driving.

“The movie clip is NOT about texting”
That’s exactly what the clip is about. The driver was texting (i.e. simulating sending a text to all the moviegoers). In the simulation, the driver crashed because he/she was distracted by the texting.
What did you see ?
People texting or people distracted by a ringing 'phone?
I hate drunk drivers
They were driving on the wrong side of the road!
She’s screening the calls. I do it all the time. Especially when I’m puttering around in the kitchen. 9 times out of 10, its a sales call or a campaign call.
