Do you really think a seatbelt will hold you in that well?
You are highly mistaken I'm afraid. If they did then racing cars wouldn't bother with 4 and 5 point harness'
I saw a crash from a camera inside a car that was on a track day, the guy had his younger brother in the passenger seat and he almost came totally out of the seat when the car hit the tyre wall, it's not like it was a massive impact either.
Very dramatised video, the red Fiesta is on the wrong side of the road, about 5 seconds too late to be considered an accident.
Also, why, in these videos, is it always the driver who lives and all the passengers are dead?

She might have died in hospital.
It's a shock video, it shocked me. If it didn't shock you then you have prob seen worse on the tinternet.
Its not a bad thing, this video will make a lot of drivers think twice so stop gunning it down.

What are you talking about? Of course the word needs spreading, I see at least a couple of people a day texting while on the motorway and you can always tell before you pass them as they're all over the road.[TW]Fox;14773120 said:
Fake? What do you want them to do stage a real pile up?
Who cares were the 3rd car comes from... it's not a low budget hospital drama, that's not really what the advert is about is it?
As for the seatbelts, you really think they're going to prevent people being thrown about in anything but a fairly low speed head on collision? I think the Fiesta is to show what happens in a side impact collision? What use are seatbelts in this instance? Also the girl in the back of the KA isn't wearing a seatbelt and she's the one who gets flung about.
It amazes me that despite the nature of the video, and the purpose behind as well as with the meaning and message its trying to get across, about a SERIOUS matter may i add, which is becoming more common on our roads, people yet still pull it apart for its acting, and filming style? and try pulling it to shreds for minute things that the everyday person will not realize or be bothered about over the actual message itself, the message does need spreading, and people do need to know about the risks that being on your phone carry's while driving.

I text in traffic jams ect all the time but... that is not why I am writing this... I have now have had a mobile for over 10 years at least and who the **** needs to actually look at it when texting?!?!
Retards who have memory whatsoever?
Serious someone texts you that requires me to e.g. slide open n95 its now unlocked... a second glance means I have now got the jist of text .... like *can you get some milk*
without looking to reply its two clicks, then I type my message *sure no probs* two clicks and its sent!
Omgz no... baby killer!
Serious you would only ever need to glance at the phone to get the jist of a text and that is it ... I could write an essay on my phone without looking ... maybe this is aimed at chavs texting and *older* not so techy people
And if people want to cry at me for glancing off the road for a second maybe we need a vid for all glancings like looking at you family whilst driving or even checking out whose tailgating you.... looking out of your right window at boobs ect

Thing is, it's not just texting - it's anything that distracts the driver's attention from whatever they should be doing, i.e. driving the car safely and being aware of their surroundings.
If I'm honest I've been playing with the stereo and *could* have caused such an accident in the past. Luckily there was no one around me at the time... but I spent far too long messing with it.
Fox raised some valid criticisms but nothing to completely discredit the thing, imho.

Its the fact your putting your thought into something else, do you realise how many people get killed or injured through the use of phones on the road?
My dad uses his phone a lot while driving, and i absolutely hate it, he does cruise into the other lane sometimes, and it scares me. i give him some right stick about it.
I put thought into lots of other things whilst driving as normally I am going 35ish in a 60 on the way to or home from work stuck behind 20 odd cars, vans, lorrys, tractors, haybail things ect.
Now ofc if I was upfront going 70 odd in a 60 I would not dream of doing anything other than driving as love actually driving and not autopiloting

The advert isn't about texting and killing babies while stuck in traffic jams though is it?I put thought into lots of other things whilst driving as normally I am going 35ish in a 60 on the way to or home from work stuck behind 20 odd cars, vans, lorrys, tractors, haybail things ect.

If I ever have a bump it will be because of looking at some skirt
wow that video is about 3 minutes too long to make any real impact as your mind forgets the start which is the hard hitting part, if you excuse the pun.
Still makes me sick when i see some drivers doing this and infact anythign but concentrating on driving..

Yeah if think the message should be if there is not any traffic and you are driving at some speed enjoy it and ****ing concentrate!
If you are stuck going really slow in traffic jams for hours *like yesterday they closed the m5 cos of some dude on a bridge* then leave us alone we are not baby killers just really board

I'm sorry but to simply call people "retards" for having to look at their phone while texting isn't exactly a nice thing to say. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean everyone else can. You will find that a lot of people need to actually look at their phone to type a text. Trying to text whilst not looking at my phone isn't exactly something I aspire to do and high on my priority list.
