British Texting While Driving
This assignment is due on Thursday, October 29th. This assignment involves watching a video on You Tube. The topic is Texting While Driving and was made in England, but applies to everyone. I will warn you that the video is graphic, but was filmed as a Public Service Ad and has been seen in this country.
After viewing the video, write a short piece on YOUR Reaction to the PSA. You might want to use the following questions to get you started. Did it change your mind about texting or did you actually change your habit of texting?
Do you think that this should be required viewing for all drivers, new and old?

Hello Dear
ReplyDeleteThat was a very sad and disturbing video
It shocked me emotionally that I had paused at
the end.
Toodles!
This video showed me how one’s mistake can affect numerous innocent people who have nothing to do with the matter. This changes my mind about texting because it made me realize that once is enough to cause unimaginable damages. To see how the girl is in a critical state, how her friends died, and the parents’ pain made me think that Texting should definitely be banned and be permitted in any case. If it is something important, I would suggest that the person makes a stop somewhere safe away from the road and texts whatever he/she has to texts. I seriously think that the video should be seen by anyone, but especially the new drivers. Texting is used by a large number of people where age sometimes is not the main determinant. I believe that people when seeing this would have a different way of viewing and using texting while driving. They will be more aware of the consequences of texting while driving.
