    Texting While Driving PSA Delivers Bloody, Bone-Crunching Message

    Holy shit. The initial accident is bad enough, but the creators of this texting PSA, not content with the usual scare tactics, add in some flying glass and a neck crunch to hammer things home. Then the second car appears.

    The video was done with local actors by the Gwent police department, to be shown in area schools as part of a 30-minute deterrent movie about "texting while driving." It's effective, violent and bloody. That's probably the point.

    Anything like this being shown in the U.S.? [BBC News - Thanks, Matthew]
