Ok, ok so not necessarily 4x4 safety, so mods please move if you deem necessary.

Made by the Welsh police (hence the accents boyo) a couple of years back to bring awareness to drivers in the UK. It's not short but well worth the watch in my opinion

It definitely hits home that's for sure. I have no issue with that on tv after 9:30 though. I wouldnt want my 4 year old daughter seeing that though.

I`ve been driving lorries for a few weeks now,to get some brass rolling in, amazing what you see other people doing when they are supposed to be concentrating on driving.

Great Ad. Sadly, the message is still not getting through. And it is not just the youth that are guilty of texting whilst driving. The amount of people I see texting whilst driving is just sad but the ad also shows that the guilty party is not usually the only one effected.

If drunk-drivers only killed themselves, I really couldn't care less, but unfortunately I have had to pick up the pieces of too many destroyed lives, just because of the actions of single person.

Please don't text and drive... for the sake of not being able to talk to your friends for a couple of minutes or even hours... it's still better than never being able to talk to them again.

Graphic but unfortunately all to realistic.
Agree it is not just teenagers who are guilty of this, I have even seen local GD cops chatting on phones whilst driving.

I remember the adds for taking rest breaks with the combi getting slammed when I was younger, definately had an impact.

The Belgians came up with this idea, interesting to see the responses of the people in the video
