  Its a very intense ad. I am guilty of doing it, and as a 19 year old, its definitely made me think twice. Its an affective ad and should be aired all over the world.

  I could not watch the whole thing. Unfortunately I suffer from PTSD. I understand the message the advert is trying to give the viewer. I don't even like using a hands free device while driving, let alone texting.

  It's a bad habit, but to be honest probably will text while driving again

  I never text and drive. A while ago, there was an ad on the radio where a guy was saying "when you text and drive - it's like driving with your eyes closed"

  The above ad is certainly a confronting reason to not text.

  This afternoon when this ad and other ads were being discussed in a, has an ad ever stopped you from doing something, and you were talking about the smoking ads.

  Well, I don't smoke, but there was an ad on tv earlier this year with this rather compelling smoky mans voice singing in the background "everybody knows the dice are loaded", and a couple of times, the song made me look up and wish I hadn't. I honestly can't imagine wanting to smoke considering how much I know know about the side effects.

  It frustrates me so much to see people texting (and talking on a hand held) while driving. This is also relevant for people who drink and drive, or who speed.

  In my opinion all of these actions are deliberate choices people make and therefore these are not 'accidents' but attempted murder! Let's charge people who do these things with attempted murder and see how quickly they stop!

  It makes me very sad for society that we need these ads.

  Texting on the phone is far more dangerous than talking on a hand held, whilst driving...........But how can you police it...........
