Shocking Ad May Make You Think Twice About Driving and Texting

National Distracted Driving Awareness Month kicks off with a 30-second ad showing how even one thoughtless moment of texting while driving can be deadly.

The ad, from The Tombras Group, draws you in with a slice-of-life scene featuring a couple of teens just having fun in a car. The driver receives a text, looks at her phone and blows past a stop sign before being tragically broadesided by an eighteen-wheeler in excruciatingly slow motion.



Distraction.gov, a website about texting and driving has been launched along with the ad. Some 3,328 people were killed in “distraction-affected” crashes in the U.S. in 2012, a slight drop from 3,360 in 2011. An estimated 421,000 people were also injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver, a 9% increase from 201
