Driver’s Ed video on Texting
Sunday, August 16th, 2009I learned to drive in South Dakota many, many years ago. Back then, and maybe still, I don’t know, we could drive when we were 14 with restricted licenses from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Most of us were driving before we ever took Driver’s Ed. I remember well those driver’s ed films, way before video, of bodies pulled from burning cars and lots of real, dead people.
Now we have texting to contend with, too. I’m sure you’ve seen people texting, or otherwise fiddling with their phones while driving, and not paying attention to their driving, or they wouldn’t be driving so badly. Our friends in Wales, that part of England that bonnie Prince Charles is prince of, has a new texting video designed for scaring kids into thinking before succumbing to the urge to communicate dangerously. Here it is:
It’s about right, don’t you think?
