Very graphic video. A must see for all drivers, especially teenagers.

Even though it is a cinema production, and many teens will spot that and go into denial mode, every teen should still see it.

Out for a ride today we had to detour due to an accident scene.

 

Later at home, on the news, we heard that a vehicle, at a high rate of speed, ran a red light ... 5 dead (3 adults and 2 kids) ... the driver was the only survivor.

 

Texting maybe???

I am a paramedic in Ontario , even with all the advertisements news coverage ect and the fact that it is against the law , I still see people and lots of them doing it every day, and lots of rear end collisions , watch your 6

Copied this post article from yesterdays SilvrT's post -- http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/09/17/coming-soon-when-a-cop-points-his-radar-gun-at-you-it-could-detect-more-than-just-speeding/

Hopefully something like this can put a dent in the number of these type of accidents happening.

The video was very well done and had every nuance of the real thing. The most disturbing aspect were the comments that followed. Some of those folks are in need of a reality check, their attitudes are more frightening than the video.

The worst pictures I have ever seen was of a teen in a small car that had drifted over in front of a truck while texting. I don't know what happened to that link, but it showed everything and there would be no denial of that one.

I pulled up beside a young woman at a red light last week that was sitting there texting. Since I was sitting right beside her and her window was down, I asked if she was texting. She just looked at me and then I told her that the number one killer of motorcyclists was distracted drivers. She laid her phone down.
