I found this via my blog roll. I know the second video has been in the news -- another way to try and get people, particularly teens, to realize the severity of texting and driving.
And, to realize that a second, is less than a second, when operating a vehicle. And, all it takes is 1/2 a second to ruin lives...
If you have teens or preteens with cell phones, you will want to share these with them.

I've seen the PSA, but it's something else to see how it's affected REAL people. This is just awful, but it's not limited to texting. I rarely drive with the radio on. I don't even like talking to other people while I'm driving, because it's too distracting.
Unfortunately, people don't ever think that something like that can happen to them . . .
PS - I should point out that I meant talking to other people in the car. Talking on cell phones is illegal in NY.
Yeah, I've seen those ads/commercials. I think they send a great message! I just hope that the teens (& adults too) think so, and quit doing that.
I know some adults who do that, and also read their texts, email, whatever the phone will hold, which is just as harmful as 'texting' and distracts them from the real issue at hand, which is driving!
As many people as possible need to see this. Thanks for sharing it.
