youtube UK psa on texting - Toyota Yaris Forums

ok i know this is unpopular but i text and drive all the time. as long as you know where the letters are i really don't see it as any different than pushing buttons on a stereo. your attention is off the road whilst doing either but i don't hear an outcry about banning car stereos. especially when you have those that show images and have touch screens and all that jazz.

but more importantly, what is the uk's fascination with these graphic psa commercials?! the british air force base i was stationed at made us sit and watch these same stupid ass videos. drunk driving, speeding, seatbelts... i've seen them all and sorry but i can't help but roll my eyes. i think these are more an exercise in desensitization than anything else. but that's just me.
