It Can Wait

So first off, take the 4 minutes to check out the short film Cow by Peter Watkins-Hughes. You may have seen it before, but it's worth seeing again -- and sharing with those you love... especially those invincible-and-immortal, texting-like-crazy, it-won't-happen-to-me teenagers. Reportedly shot for less than $10,000 dollars, this British Public Safety Announcement is highly realistic and effective.

Sheesh. I wish I could never again respond to another cell phone use-caused traffic incident. Talking is bad enough, but texting is just ridiculous. Pay attention and drive, kids! For more information, check out AT&T's "It Can Wait" campaign.

Srsly... Omg... or DOA? Life's too short as it is.

 

This wreck in Missouri killed the 19 year old driver of the silver pickup truck sandwiched between the school bus and the 18 wheeler, as well as a 15 year old student on the bus, and injured 38 other people. The 19 year old driver had reportedly sent or received nearly a dozen texts in the minutes leading up to the fatal collision. 

Please put the phone down and drive safely.
