I came across this PSA this morning and must say, I am impressed. This PSA not only does a good job at scaring the $@!% out of young people, but it will also deter individuals from texting while driving and will furthermore serve as a benefit to traffic safety as a whole.

I can't begin to tell you how many times we have to fly a young person out because they crashed into an interstate median at 85 mph while texting a friend.

Thankfully, the state of Tennessee has enacted a new law as of July 1 that would make texting while driving illegal.

Thought I would share.

I've heard a lot of people say "OMG that's just too graphic!" but ya know, it's not like there's a fuzzy blur over real car accident injuries, and as many people as i've seen who will not keep their car between the lines while driving, because their damn phone is glued to their hand, i'm all for this PSA. I wish it were illegal to be doing that sort of crap while driving anyway, we were able to drive for YEARS without cellphones and Blackberries, that time have proven we can survive without doing so now.
