**Would you allow your teen to watch this video? Why or Why not?** This video was made to show teens how important it is not to text while driving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X-mH3vNrzI Quote: ** WARNING the graphic video clip is professionally staged -- but appears realistic and does a fine job hammering its message home. This video is just 4:15 long. A long version of the film will be shown in UK schools this year. They are hoping to show this in the United States as well.
My dd is currently studying for her permit. Not only have I had her watch this video, but others as well. I think the importance of keeping your focus on the driving especially those first few years of driving can not be emphasized enough. I want her to go into driving realizing that she has a huge responsibility to stay safe.
It is important for people to educate their children about the dangers of texting while driving. Some teens do not really hear you when you just discuss the subject. Sometimes they need to see it in order to grasp how dangerous it is.
i saw this on facebook, very scary! i almost bawled when it showed the baby that had died! i dont text regularly, but will admit to typing in a a 2 or 3 word answer while driving. never again!
This is the NBC news coverage. They think that some people will think it is too graphic to show the baby. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOTbAbKoL28
Yes, my dd has seen this and seen others. I think it great. She wouldn't even answer the phone when she is driving. Which is great. My dh and I haven't even been talking on the phone when we been driving trying to show her no one is worth talking to while you are driving. I hope it works. I am sure she will answer the phone when she is older or better drive. But, at least I can say I try.
