Slick VW ad - texting and driving

This really gets the point across:

That is awesome!

I wish they would do that in every theater in North America.

Most people give no thought as to how much distance passes beneath their vehicle when they take their eyes off the road.

Great ad, and it should be a wide-distribution PSA here in the U.S.

Unfortunately, my daughter totaled her Honda Civic rear-ending a truck while texting. Nobody seriously injured. ...Still didn't teach her a lesson. She still texts when driving. Driving LA freeways, I see at least 1 in 5 young people on their phones.

With the death toll mounting, I assume we will eventually see DUI-level laws and consequences enacted.
