That would be terrifying! Makes a good point though.

WOW!! I think I might have needed to use the loo again after that...

When it comes to drink driving, the scarier the better.

I'm all for it. Makes you think.

Ban pubs.

This reminds me of the PSA add about texting and driving. The shock factor is key.,

Is it really that important that young people are desperate to text while driving or even using the phone?? I know that this world is defined by the "I want,Iwant it now!" sydrome.Well in the clip they got instant death on top of an instant message.

By the way. Just what did we do to communicate to other people before we had these `phones? Did we send up smoke signals or carrier pidgeons.Or did we wait until we found a `phone box,or got home to say what we want to say.

The problem with mobiles is that many people now are truly addicted to them. A recent study showed that huge numbers of mobile owners check their phone every ten minutes, without fail.

The penalty for use when driving, in my opinion, should be £1000 fine AND a year's ban from driving. That might make a difference to the numbers I see every day using them.

I was shown the PSA advert from ED's post on a recent driving course.
It was stopped from being shown in cinemas as it was too realistic!!!
But it does bring the point across!

That was disappointing, I was rather hoping to see Mad Max VI

I thought that one where the young girl's texting and crashes a few years ago was quite effective.

Ban pubs

Wow, watch out, Mr Prohibition is out and about

Good idea as it happens, gonna get me some moonshine going and make a few bob

Yeah love these Shocking drink and driving ads

The really shocking bit was when he ordered the sherry..

The penalities are still too little. I see people on their mobiles everyday whilst driving. One bloke just swerved out in front of us and even though we had beeped because of his carelessness, he just carried on like nothing had happened. He then continued to drive all over the place with no concerns how close he was coming to hitting the cars on the other side.

These bloody young kids who go out to impress their friends are just as dangerous if not more.

 

[EvanDavis]

I believe cars should be fitted with some sort of device that blocks mobile signals unless they are plugged into some sort of hands free device.
Laws should also be stricter and that includes for drunk driving. I read a story once, not quite sure where, but a drunk driver knocked somebody down and was only given 6 months or there about and the judge simply said it was not his intention to go out and kill somebody, but rather just drink drive and that's all the time he could give him.

 

[crazylegs]

Penalty should be 3 months ban for using a mobile whilst driving and £500 fine with 6 points added to licence for insurance loading purposes to stay on the licence for 5 years.

Job done no more idiots with phones stuck to there heads
