I was in a car accident a month ago. My mom was driving us home from Starbucks, we were driving 60mph down the highway. My mom was attentive and driving safely. Unfortunately, three teenagers in a truck failed to yield to a stop sign, running right in front of us. We t-boned them, as we had absolutely no time to react. My mom slammed on her brakes as soon as she saw them pull in front of us. Us going 60mph on impact caused their truck to flip over into a ditch, and our car to spin out. The three teenagers survived with absolutely no injuries, while my mom had a concussion and I broke my spine. Paramedics told us that with how bad the impact was, they were surprised it didn't kill us. Teenagers should NEVER drive with more than one friend in the car, as it has been statistically proven that the more friends in a teenagers car, the more distracted they get. Those teenagers who failed to stop at a stop sign almost cost my mom and I's life, I'm even shocked that the teenagers weren't injured themselves despite their vehicle flipping over. It could've been much worse, and I'm glad nobody died- but we very easily could've died. The odds were not in our favor at all but we made it out alive.

I was involved in a texting and driving accident in (2018) on my way to work and I wasn’t even supposed to live. The doctors were going to pronounce me dead when I got to the hospital. I wasn’t to lucky, I fractured my shoulder blade, lower spine, pelvis in 3 places, left hip and my knee was mangled. The women that hit me didn’t even check on me, didn’t come near me, didn’t hold my head up in the car. She was trying to drive off but she couldn’t because her car was all busted from the impact. She was only concerned about her car and continued to text message. She tried to get away in to blaming me for the accident and she wasn’t at all upset about what she did to me. The firefighters had to use the jaws of life to get me out of the car and I scared out of my mind to think what was going to happen next. I still have anger and hatred towards the women that hit me. If she had come up to check on me or at all concerned about me, I would of forgiven her for what she did. There’s no forgiveness for that. I am still blessed to be alive and to tell my story to people. The aftermath of the accident for me is still there . My left side is unbalanced, I will fall to the ground if I stand on my left side, the cold hurts, my left side is very week, I can’t lift over 36 pounds, I am very cluster phobic in tiny spaces, and my legs are clumsy. I have muscle and nerve damage due to the accident and I have frequent back aches. I used to be very athletic and was going to return to ice skating but I can’t do any of that because of the accident. Please watch this and take the oath to never text and drive because that text isn’t worth it.

Her mom: It’s cause of that damn phone! Me: *wait you’re actually right*

This ad gets the message across really well. Had the policeman caught this girl texting and driving, it would have saved her life and many others.

That went from 0 to 100 way to fucking fast

I saw this ad when I was about 12 long before I could drive but this ad almost 8 years on scared me enough as a kid to not even so much as touch my phone while driving at almost 20. Guess the ad worked 😅

Would you rather lose a minute of your life or your life in a minute?

I was involved in an accident on May 29th I was looking up a the stats of a Ford F-150 on my phone when I crashed into a 2010 Chevy Equinox. I hit the car at 35-40 mph. There was a 1 year old child in the car. He was crying, the family sustained no injuries while my two legs were bruised. I was lucky to be alive as well as the family. From now onwards I will longer be driving the car while drive with a phone on hand.

That cop could give me a ticket

she ain't smiling now !

exact same thing happened to me, just because you do and once and your comfortable and nothing happens, doesn’t mean nothing will!!

I've got hit a few times by people texting and driving. Once or Twice when I was walking. And once sitting at a Stop Light 🚦 by a young kid who forgot to look up. And another time or two. But don't remember all the details any more. But still suffer from all the injuries.

0:13 truck: out of my way Car: ouch

That made me happy for some reason

People need to understand that a text is not worth your life or the lives of those around you, it's shameful how much wisdom people lack these days. I think they should suspend the license of anyone who drives.

I truly despise people looking at their phones while driving. I hate it so much, that I posted a video of my own. youfa episode 38. Please watch. This message needs to be louder and stronger. The calm, mild approach isn't working. Thank you for posting this video.

This is what I do when the driver in front was texting. I start a road rage and if they deny they were texting, I hit them. Then I deny what I did

If you text while driving, one way or another, you will be stopped. Pray it's by the cops.

I was in a car accident but we weren’t on our phones I just mentioned a work place and the driver and me looked at it kinda dumb to be honest lol

Texting while driving is just as bad as driving while intoxicated, plus they should've worn their seatbelts.😢

Years ago, my mom was in a car crash when another driver slammed into her minivan when making a bad turn, I'm very my mom survived and she wasn't hurt

NGL this ad funny as hell when you see the long version

My female boss has had numerous goes at me for not answering my phone whilst driving even though it's in a hands free set up. I've told her she can say what she likes for I'll never answer the phone whilst I'm driving. I'll only answer the phone in the car when I'm parked somewhere and never whilst driving. I get a phone call or a message and there's a reminder that someone called or texted so there's no problem getting back to them at all. I turn the phone to silent when I'm driving so calls or messages coming in don't distract me at all. But today's kids and many adults are ruled by their phone terrified if they don't answer or text back right away then someone maybe angry with them or worse still stop liking them. Oh what a tragedy. The worse thing manufacturers ever did was make phones compatible with cars because it can lead to disaster and often has simply because too many people can't put their phone down.

best commercial!

That truck straight up ran the stopsign too lmao, is this Florida?

Does anyone know if these commercials are acting?

Social media shouldn't have been made

The only reason they died was because a truck hit them and the amount of times the car rolled

Ooh what WHA WHA!!! 0:12

At least it shut those idiots up.

Are they being stupid cuz she text and drive and the truck run them over that my favorite part

Wtf is wrong with society

According to the data, texting and driving is equivalent to having 4 beers and then proceeding to drive

Hahahahahahahahah 💖 💙 💜 💚 💛 it must be fate... we need more of these on the road, make an hilarious video. It's already 2018 and more people are distracted than ever. This must be the goal that everyone has right?

If a truck was driving on that road, there wouldn't a stop sign, it would be a main street intersection with a stop light

0:12 I’d hate to witness THAT!

Did this also traumatize someone as a kid.

Cop is Hot!!!!

I know that ad from the newgrounds...

Box office of this movie had to of been $950,000,000,000,000

Also they need to pull people over from filming while driving

Texting while driving, you'll be lucky if it's a cop that brings you to a stop.

My dad texts and drives.

Is that Natalie Imbruglia

i love this commercial lol !!

I was driving the truck. I was on instagram

I believe this is just virtual video right?

No you’re not .. I see idiots 1000s a day texting and driving.. Never seen a cop pull one over Ever

And don't expect the cops to enforce it because I've seen many of them texting and driving on the phone while I'm driving next to them we need to take charge of our own child's future When are we going to be smart enough to understand that's our children we are putting behind the wheel when we get their first car or they get their learner's permit and so on and so forth make it a law they cannot start driving unless their car is Bluetooth enabled that it could handle the incoming messages and everything and they don't have to take their eyes off the road for a split second because the same way it takes a split second to get pregnant it takes a split second to take away that life so please you guys make all these laws and all these rules make that an official law you're not able to drive at all until your car is Bluetooth enabled and that's the only way that you get to drive because if you leave it on the phone and you take your eyes off the road you're gone I don't care how many commercials you have they're not going to listen until it becomes a law how many more kids are we going to bury how many more families are going to cry we have smartphones so make smart decisions don't expect your child to be the one to do the smart decision they have to have some kind of Bluetooth device in their vehicle that listens to the messages and reads it out my phone every time a message comes in it tells me who's it from and what it says if it's an emergency they can pull over if not make it a rule you cannot get a cell phone until your first four years of driving by yourself and not getting into an accident you have to come home to be able to message anyone and watch how fast the cemeteries start being less filled with our children passed a message forward and God we trust one land and one nation under God God gave us our children let's not send them back in a rush delivery because of a stupid driving accident

Love how it goes straight into copaganda. Like if phones turned off automatically over the speed of 10mph she also could have been saved but we don't make commercials advocating for that while advocating for not texting and driving. It's not even an argument for cops to be around, they're just inserting cops as good with no argument as to why other solutions can't fix the problem in a less intrusive and expensive way.

That's creepy

Who is the driver girl 😍💕

Manifesto Texting Whlie Driving

hey is anyone here cus of caddicarus or is it just me

this is like fuckin DOE ad holy shit

When are we going to be smart enough to understand that's our children we are putting behind the wheel when we get their first car or they get their learner's permit and so on and so forth make it a law they cannot start driving unless their car is Bluetooth enabled that it could handle the incoming messages and everything and they don't have to take their eyes off the road for a split second because the same way it takes a split second to get pregnant it takes a split second to take away that life so please you guys make all these laws and all these rules make that an official law you're not able to drive at all until your car is Bluetooth enabled and that's the only way that you get to drive because if you leave it on the phone and you take your eyes off the road you're gone I don't care how many commercials you have they're not going to listen until it becomes a law how many more kids are we going to bury how many more families are going to cry we have smartphones so make smart decisions don't expect your child to be the one to do the smart decision they have to have some kind of Bluetooth device in their vehicle that listens to the messages and reads it out my phone every time a message comes in it tells me who's it from and what it says if it's an emergency they can pull over if not make it a rule you cannot get a cell phone until your first four years of driving by yourself and not getting into an accident you have to come home to be able to message anyone and watch how fast the cemeteries start being less filled with our children passed a message forward and God we trust one land and one nation under God God gave us our children let's not send them back in a rush delivery because of a stupid driving accident

Can you please get off the phone while you drive?

Don't crossword and drive

I’m telling my mom a lesson

imagine

POV at the truck: why can’t I see. oh I find someone to help me- *le crash*

Texting and driving is my right

Why Bixby and Siri exist.

Also the trucker should be paying attention as well also pulling someone over for texting and driving only delys the event

😂

DOE

Did they all die or jus the texter

I’m driving right now and still about to tell you how fucking pointless and ignorant this ad is.

Lmaooo
