I thought this would be a good video to post up for the holiday season. I ran it by Statler and he told me to post it in General. It's mildly graphic.

Safe stay out there.

Absolutely brutal.  And moving.  Thank you.  Could something like this be shown here in the US?  How about mandatory viewing in drivers ed classes?

[Grappa]

I saw some pretty brutal, raw kind of video/commercials like this when I was in New Zealand a few years back.  It was pretty shocking to see, coming from U.S.A.  Hard to watch but it sticks in your mind.  Amazing the kind of sex and violence that you will see on TV in U.S. but you will never see such realistic and graphic depictions of careless driving.  It's a shame because I think that it would be effective in getting people to think about their actions more.  Happy Holidays and Stay Safe!

OMG, that was insanely brutal!
It has a good message, though, I'm sending it on to some of my loved ones (with a content advisory).

that video is awesome, now only if they would make one about peopl texting and talking on the phone.

only reason drunk driving is so popular to vilify, is because madd in the US was such a big deal and lobbied for years, otherwise drunk driving would be no worse than texting and talking with so many people saying "i'm a great driver i can do anything while driving fine" it was that way for decades.

but the video is unrealistic, unfortunately we are assuming people that drink and drive can see themselves in the bad positions shown in the video and how it ruins lives and kills people and that they will change their behavior.  unfortunately most think "that is someone else" until it happens to them.

truly sad.  

thanks for posting the video reminder to us all.

have a safe holiday season everyone,

stay safe out there folks and teach your kids (under the threat of a serious beating from you, which is a valid reason in my opinion, if they ever drive drunk) and other new drivers at a young age to not drink and drive or text/phone while driving.  

Its truly the only real chance we have at cutting down on the problems and making the roads safer.
