Texting and Driving

I recently watched this short video emphasizing the dangers of text messaging while driving. The PSA video uses strong, graphic images to deter teens from using their phones while driving. The video has, unsurprisingly, received much criticism. A large percentage of parents are protesting the video. They seem to believe it is too graphic for their teens to watch. I think that the short film does a fantastic job of showing the real life dangers of text messaging and driving. Sometimes, the shock factor is the best way to reach new, young drivers. Still, this raises the question; Did the media go too far?
