Dont Text and Drive PSA

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This video is about texting and driving. It was produced by TranterGrey Media out of Evans, Ga. WJBF News Channel 6 and One Hour Optical paid for the production. I added the text for the hearing impaired by request.
The fact that they just had to accept their fates just scared me and they could do nothing about it.
for all those watching. $svre , $saverone has the software to fight driving distractions . it's already available. they are already saving Lives.
PLSSS IM HERE FROM AN ASSIGNMENT AND I JUST NOTICED SHES FROM GINNY AND GEORGIA

Same lol
SAME WTH
I don't understand people who think texting and driving is ok.. there is NOTHING ok with it.. Since when did looking at a f*cking screen become more important than watching the road? Learn to control yourself, you don't need to even look at your phone when you drive.
Nowadays people would be taking Snapchats during a funeral. Makes me sick.
Exactly. Like if youre bored, listen to music, make a phone call, or fucking think jfc
I have been driving for a year now and still scared of driving safe even i am driving safe...
Indeed
The texter is just a young child, there were practically born with this technology and is too used to it of course.
This is a message to everybody who thinks that texting and driving is ok as a firefighter I have seen a couple of these crashes already and they are not fun to be on so always think twice about picking up that cell phone well behind the wheel so please DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE SAVE NOT ONLY YOUR LIFE BUT OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep and lower your music too how can you hear whats going on around you when its blaring all over the road, but will people learn, nope, fine and jail time is what will teach kids and senior adults not to text and drive.
yeah I agree and then when they decide to do it we respond when they are in pain and even sometimes close to death

I love this PSA. I will NEVER distract myself while driving. You guys don't have to worry about me
Im not
q es y ya
its been 4 years, have you been distracted yet
for all those watching. $svre , $saverone has the software to fight driving distractions . it's already available. they are already saving Lives.
Hey man when are you coming home? Why haven't you answered my text yet!!??
It was my first time seeing this PSA, and let me tell you, it definitely pulled my heartstrings and grabbed my attention. Too many people are distracted by texting while driving. If you think you can multi-task, it is not a good idea. You don't know what other drivers are doing. Plus, you never know what you might do, like accidentally drop your phone and instinctively try to pick it up WHILE driving.
Sh*t Happens.
Get a load of this yapper
@@Bruh-ss3ps Uh, yeah. We will. Gladly.
This is an amazing video. It should be a worldwide campaign on television stations around the world.
My drivers ed teacher showed me this. And it impacted me so much, I had to look it up again.
people are so stupid. how can you not put down your phone for a small length or even a long length of time? I don't understand. ask someone in the car to text someone for you. this makes me so angry
+allisonclaire Because we live in a world where people have attention spans of 5 year olds and have to be entertained or occupied with something.
+TheCrazyKid1381 wtf is wrong with you, and I'm not that stupid to take a selfie of myself while I'm driving.

You have any idea how many times I have to say get the fuck off the cellphone to people constantly,while they’re driving?! I get mad at them,because those punk ass clowns do not listen!
It's why calling or texting on smartphones & iPhones while driving should be a felony. There have been a lot of lives lost because a lot of people have done it!
That sent a chill down my spine
One of the best TEXTING AND DRIVING PSA'S.
The end scared me so much I jumped ;-;
but it was obvious.
@@alleat4848 yeah no i thought it was a bit goofy and i chuckled, which i feel kinda bad for
@ALAIN XU shit
Don't text and drive... but just as importantly don't be an irresponsible parent and not tell the kid in the back to buckle up!
Shubham Yoga*Anime white privileged is a myth
Shubham Yoga*Anime and you misspelled privilege lol 😂
I disagree with all of this shit irresponsibility is the way to go and the rules are stupid as fuck when I start start driving I'm taking every risk and being irresponsible
@@trevornewby666 you sound so dumb lmfao
@@zarassubs sounds like he's joking
Such a sad reality that is so simple to avoid. Just as the forest fire campaign of my childhood said "only you can prevent forest fires" the same goes for texting while driving!
OH MY GOSH IS THAT GINNY FROM GINNY AND GEORGIA 😂
LOLLL
My English teacher showed us this for our PSA unit. The end scared the fudge out of my friend and I. My friend was so scared that right when we got into the cafeteria for lunch, she grabbed a plastic spoon and started chewing on it.
I think this ad is based on a New Zealand ad about speeding with the same format (getting out of the car to desperately negotiate before the crash), which was released a few months before this one. ruclips.net/video/B2rFTbvwteo/видео.html
This is so common and likely a frequent thing these days, hopefully with much different endings, but not just inexperienced young people text and drive! Pull over if the message is important, out of traffic and other possible hazards. Very effective message and I wish something of equal attention could be produced as I would air it on my station; some messages are good but radio never hits home like TV!
Tears rolling down my face fuming! I have a 2 year old and I've seen this never let me catch you doing this EVEN!! At a stop light
Very powerful message. * Writing this comment while driving *

That part truly showed me the dangers of distracted driving- you guys don't have to worry about me.
she talking about " theres no way I could of looked up , im half way thru my text " girl Ian trynna hear det ... but the eennnnddd scareddd meee !
The end was scary
I hope this woke some people up to just how dangerous it is. It's actually far, far more distracted than being on the phone or changing the radio station. I've never understood how texting while driving became normalized anyway, it's actually really scary how common it is. Imagine if playing a Game Boy while driving was normalized. It's almost the same thing.
Is that Ginny from Ginny&Georgia she looks and sounds so different
This is the best video ever to help people think about not texting while driving. Love it.
You know it was a good add until that weird coldness where she decided to go with it anyway.
Kudos to the writers of this short. You really nailed it.
seen the NZ psa version titled 'Mistakes' I found it more emotional/better acting and frozen time fx's too.
I'd say in order for drivers to take more responsible actions so they don't text while driving, they need to tell their friends who might text them that they are going out to drive, and thus their friends cannot text them while they are driving. It seems many texters don't take a hint that the person on the other online end is too busy or preoccupied with something.
Speed ad - Mistakes
This one is a more powerful ad from New Zealand - the freeze frame and conversation is pretty similar, only it's in the context of texting rather than speeding.
This ad is a ripoff of a speeding PSA in New Zealand Speed ad - Mistakes
The producers stated that the New Zealand ad is where they got the idea. I wouldn't say it was a rip off. I would say they compliment each other. The New Zealand is about speeding while this one is about Texting.
Tony Gentry Yes to both of you. PSA's are meant to be effective, and this one was. That said, the original seemed to be much more natural, and I'm just gonna say it, had better actors too. But who cares? If this does the job than it's a job well done.
And the New Zealand one was a rip of an Asian PSA from years ago.
Didn't know that! Do you have a link by any chance? I'm curious if it's better than the New Zealand one.
@@duderoom proof?
THIS IS THE BEST COMMERCIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN CALEBS LAW was started by a sister whose brother died by texting ATT&T DID COMMERCIALS THIS ONE GOT INTO THE MIND OF THE DRIVER....THEY JUST DONT GET IT PEOPLE JUST CANNOT STOP TEXTING ITS OUT OF CONTROL ITS AN ADDICTION TO NOTHING
Why was this lowkey funny 😭 and is that GINNY🤣
this is an exact copy of the new zealand speeding PSA.
Alifidy yes and isn't it an eye opener - well it must touch something if it is being used
Alifidy I like this better than the New Zealand speeding PSA, because that PSA makes it look like the guy going fast is at fault, when it's really the dumbass who doesn't look before pulling out. This PSA makes it perfectly clear that the texter is at fault.
Actually the NZ PSA makes it quite clear that they're both at fault, one is going too fast and the other one didn't calculate correctly. When it says at the end "Other people make mistakes, slow down." it's a pretty straight critique that whenever any of us drive too fast it's under the assumption that "we'll be fine, we won't make mistakes" (even if speeding is in itself a mistake), well let's assume that we're right and we'll never make a mistake. What about the rest of the world around us? Someone runs a red light, crosses the street without looking both ways, a tire blows out, etc.
yeah but with worse acting and production value
This is a fantastic video for all ages. Pay attention. I will, not could, happen to you if you text and drive. It is only a matter of when and who you will hit.
What are the two main actresses' names? I am actually doing a project on this PSA and I really love what you did here.
The teen is Antonia Gentry the mom is Davina Strickland.
i hate it when time stops 😔😔 so relatable
Really well done! Powerful! Wish it was available without the station logo so I could use it on my network.
There's a similar (much better timefroze version) advert titled 'mistakes' it's focal point ain't just on texting but that people make mistakes that you should drive accordingly to that principle and slow down to lessen potential impact check it out if you haven't already its from NZ.
@@akumassj7827 that one is awesome the NZ Ads are amazing
whos here from ginny and georgia?!?!
What in that brought you to this video?
If one must use one's phone during driving, one should either pull off the road and park, or, have a passenger take your phone and send the text for you.
Wow nolan really jumped the shark here. It even has the classic "murdered housewife" plot point.
lmao
Ironically, the teenager is a great actor, and the mother feels like she's just getting a paycheck. Don't get me wrong good video but yeah, I'm critical by nature, whoops.
the teenager wasnt better
whose here after ginny and georgia-
I remember seven years ago, my friend and I were almost sideswiped by a texting driver on our left. Scary.
I see this every day, people convinced that paying attention is too high a demand for them
THAT WAS SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!
"My babies are in the car!"
"Don't worry fam it's just a quick text, I'll manage."
Tomasz Kroker and Ion Onut - what do these two drivers have in common? They were both responsible for killing people by distracted driving - a result of the choice they made to use their phone while driving.
Tomasz Kroker was jailed for 10 years in 2016 after he killed 4 people (1 mother, 3 children) in a high speed lorry crash on the A34 near Newbury in Berkshire when he crashed into the back of stationary traffic, after he was distracted by changing the music on his phone.
Ion Onut killed 3 people after crashing his Scania lorry into the back of slow-moving traffic on the A1(M) at Bowburn while looking at dating sites in July 2021, and was jailed for 8 years and 10 months and was also banned from driving for 14 years and 5 months.
They have to live with the consequences of their actions for the rest of their lives, and so will you if you end up killing someone by distracted driving.
Please, put the phone down while driving. That important text or phone call is not worth killing someone over.
bro i already know not to text and drive but this shit is so funny.
I remember my grandma showing this to me and it scary the living shit out of me-
a good PSA video to grab memory about speeding
Thank you so much for captioning this! Great video.
If only you can pause like that in real life!
That end 😂 I am dead I am sorry
Wrong emoji
I got it set up that my phone says who is calling or texting me when I drive if it's a text it'll say "Message from" this way I know not to answer it while driving. If it's a call and my phone is hooked up to the car (Normally my mom's Focus for now) it'll say "Call From" and I'll just press the answer button on the steering wheel with my eyes on the road. If I need to call someone I'll press a button on the steering wheel and tell it to call the person but I will not text in a car while it's moving. If it's important I'll get off the roadway (If on a freeway exit then park in a close by parking lot. If on a road turn into a close by parking lot) and answer the text.
realistically, they all would’ve been ok. this is a country road in a fairly developed area (as evidenced by the tall buildings seen in the background) so the speed limit would be 30-40mph (48-64 kmph). the cars both appear to be somewhat new (2009-2011 honda pilot for the teenager, 2006-2010 ford explorer for the mom) so they would have crumple zones and advanced airbags. you could argue that the mom would hit that pole, but if the teenager hits the brakes, there shouldn’t be enough momentum. plus, the back wheels wouldn’t turn, so the car would instead just skid. you may think “well, what if it rolls over?”
for this, i researched the car’s safety ratings. (2010 model years used for both). the mother’s car has an excellent safety rating, and shouldn’t roll over with a collision at 40mph. the teenager’s car performed poorly with small front overlap collisions but good with moderate overlap collisions. so the front passengers may have broken legs. (i’ll talk more about injuries later.)
as for the kids in the mom’s car, they look to be around 11 and 8. her son is most likely in a booster seat and both of them will have airbags, along with the mother. they will be flung around a bit in their seat, but their seatbelts will keep them in place.
likely injuries
teenager’s car:
front passengers will have broken legs or at least a leg injury. if the windshield is broken, there could be glass related injuries.
rear passengers will likely be completely fine
mom’s car:
all passengers should walk away without a scratch. the windshield may break, but should only cause minor injuries. if the car rolls over there may be some heavy whiplash, or concussions in heavy situations, which are unlikely.
P.S.: at the beginning the teenager just looks like she’s just going to drive off the road, not into the mom’s car lol
The end point is not realistic because cars appear out of nowhere.
It’s not about what’s likely and death and injuries are possible
Also the teenager never hit the brakes. Obviously
People will watch this PSA, and then they will get in their car and text while driving. Nobody cares until it happens to THEM. We are doomed as a species.
The ending scared the heck out of me
In Massachusetts where I reside, I drive the route # 3 corridor north of Boston, daily to & from work. Every day, I see drivers on those damn cell phones on highways, and on town/city streets. Even a few days ago I drove right by my town's police station and the person driving to my right was on his cell phone. I thought to myself "where are the cops"? This dangerous driving must stop.
They did something like this back in the day in New Zealand but it’s just being a distracted driver not so much with texting. But the outcome is still the same…
I don't know why but the fact that they just both went back into their cars, and just stare at one another with really dramatic music and a car just suddenly crashing just made me burst laughing, I'm sorry
hit me right in dem feels
Very similar to New Zealand's ad... 'Mistakes' (New Zealand road safety advert)
I wanted to share this, but there's just too many typos and spelling mistakes. Please repair this so that everyone can appreciate it. Corrections needed: "Playing" should be "playing" at :07. "Texting" should be "texting" at :28. "her, I" should be "her that I" at :30. "half way" should be "halfway" at :38. "Theres should be There's" at :38. "Babies" should be "babies" at :43. "suppose" should be "supposed" at :46.
John Addis Here is the original without the text. PSA-Dont Text and Drive 2014
No disrespect John, but that is what you got out of that powerful video?
John Addis Thats all you got out of this?....smh
Tony Gentry If that's the "original" then why was it uploaded two days after this video?
John Addis Get lost
I swear to God when present presentation about texting I show people this video in everywhere
This is an interesting concept for a commercial!
7 billion and counting, we need all the texting we can get!
Speed ad - Mistakes
thats the link to the ad that this shamelessly rips off from nz transport agency i remember because when this hit the air in nz people from other countries were praising it for being a revolutionary way to get the message across and now people are just dragging the idea through the dirt and not even being clever about it
0:14 ZA WARUDO
They stopped and had a chat...
Was it only me that felt the room vibrate when the two cars collided?
That is Ginny
wow, i loved it. great job
I feel so sad for that mother 😭😭😭😭
every one should see it. I almost cried ! ( a mother of 3 )
0:32 the thing is the said she *thought* which means she got injured or died in the crash
1 thing your life is more important than a text
This ad is similar to one that aired in New Zealand
Anyone else notice how grimly ironic the music in the beginning is?
The two groups of people I see texting and driving most: nurses and cops. I'm not kidding. Even more than teenagers. Everyone needs to pay attention to the road. Everyone.
Such a powerful video
they ripped off the New zealand commercial of the same style!!
Texting while driving can result in an accident ranging from a minor fender bender to even serious injury or death. Texting can wait. Just typing one character is a step closer to car wreck.
That’s the girl from Ginny and Georgia
A quick check. 😂 you are funny.
Then there's people smoking In one hand and talking on the phone in the other - lately my anxiety is so bad I just drive shorter distances to places
The moment when they got back in there cars and looked at their friends and family
The ending scared me so bad
That was good! Nice video. Great message!
I live in the exact city where this was recorded
Texting, smoking, eating, fucking..., whatever while driving should be equalized to drunk driving with mandatory life sentence for causing a fatal accident.
Isn't that Ginny from Ginny and Georgia?
yes
Very touching.
ah, no crash, finally.
I have friends who text and drive sometimes I just want to slap some sense into them maybe I can show them this clip
I would like this to play in Utah as well.
Does this Honda she drives have this fancy line keeping option, which won't simply allow car to change line without touching turn knob?
My teacher used this as an example of a PSA ( we are making one )
Legit let your friends text for you
A rip off of this New Zealand made advert: Speed ad - Mistakes
The New Zealand made it better, the acting is pretty bad in this one and it's not original.
So what how many people are going to say its a rip off ..if it saves one life wtf do you care
