Wow, what a commercial!

A commercial like that might actually make a person think twice about texting while driving.

They need to run that ad here in NA.

Great find

That is so true, it can happen that fast with out even knowing it.

Yea I saw this. I made it a habit to put my phone on vibrate and then put the phone on the holder by the drivers side door.

i have no idea in the world why people dont want to dish out 5 bucks and get an effing air vent clip

you SHOULDNT text while driving but were human but if you absolutely NEED to text someone (cuz finding out who likes you in grade 10 is that important) those things help ALOT if i have to type in a location on my GPS (*ashamed*) cuz i can just poke letters and still focus on driving

Quite a powerful public service message, seems you agree with me, Daniel. Now when people ask why they don't receive reply texts from me while I'm driving, might just point out that ad. (Although, I'd have to txt that, so I'd pull over as I usually do, hehe.) You made a good point, Daniel, about having those service messages as part of our programmes.

I agree that they should show commercials like that here. Whatever gets the point across. If they are worried about kids seeing them, then they could just air them later on. I'm getting tired of seeing people all the time dicking around with their phones while driving and drifting in and out of their lanes. Maybe if they saw what could happen, they would think twice.

Yeah that commercial would have a positive effect if it was aired here in NA, however as mentioned earlier, it would need to be shown later in the evening.

Also wanted to say that I LOVE YOUR SIG!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! We won our first pre-season rookie game against the Pens. Our goalie is aWesome.

Adair

Yes, it's an eye-opening ad, meant for it's shock value.

You love my sig? aWesome. I'm glad we continued on from last year.
I wondered if it was too soon to post him, but am really gearing up for Oct 1st.

Ooops...
