In a very smart PSA run in Hong Kong, Volkswagen sent text messages to people while they watched footage of a driver who gets in an accident while texting.

What do you think of the PSA?
 
I was standing on our front porch today to stay out of the rain while I waited for a ride, watching the cars go by.

It was raining. Wet road. You know, "little waters, coming out of the sky". Etc.

I saw several people holding a phone to their head while driving in the rain.

And three or four, Texting. While Driving In The Rain.

Idiots.
 
So many people I actually know even call and text whilst driving, it's just something the majority do know even though it's absolutely stupid and dangerous. Not only dangerous to themselves but to everyone else around them.

But will people learn? Nope.
