Very Graphic Anti-Texting While Driving Public Service Announcement | Teens Against Distracted Driving

We have seen here on Teens Against Distracted Driving that organizations are using public service announcements to reach out to communities. A police department in Gwent, a South Wales community, created perhaps one of the most controversial, yet effective videos we have seen thus far.

The video is extremely graphic, but they wanted it to be this way in order for it to remain in people’s minds. Texting while driving is incredibly dangerous, and while some people may think the video is too gruesome or graphic, the sad reality is you are putting yourself in the same position as the girls in the video each time that you text behind the wheel.

**WARNING** THIS VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC AND CONTAINS BLOOD AND VIOLENCE*
Watch the video here on the Gwent police department’s website
