    I just watched the video and couldn't stop crying. I also gave the address to my kids to watch and they told me they already saw it. How sad.

    i am going to have my son watch this as he is just about to get his license. while I trust him very much, I also know the pressure kids out each other under and also the temptation for teens to text and drive, which is just as bad.

    Yes that was very hard to watch. My son's best friend who was to be best man at his wedding was killed by a trucker on a cell phone early in the morning. When will people ever learn. Drunk driving campaigns have been going on for years now yet every year during the checkstops, they seem to catch more drunks behind the wheels of their cars. Now they pass laws banning cell phones and texting while driving but that isn't going to change anything.

    I wonder if they still show anyof the crash films from the Ohio State Troopers like they used to when I took Driver's Ed. People need to be so much more careful when they are behind the wheel. The latest quote around here is - "Honk if you love Jesus - Text if you want to meet him".
