    very powerful --

    there is software that you can download on your teen's phone that will disable texting while the phone is in motion of more than 5mph. Here is a typical one.

    I don't have kids but I can't see why EVERY parent wouldn't get this to keep their kids safe.

    I'm showing this to my gd, even though I don't think she would text and drive, you just never know. I also think it should be shown at schools, definitely the high schools.

    Ty for this. How awful. I lost my adopted daughter in a car accident on Christmas eve. Not to testing but supposedly because the boy got mad cause she broke up with him!!
    Thanks Merced for blood drive! ( I was born there when it was a tiny town)
    Pls show this to every person driving!!

    Every one that texts needs to see this film. Life is too precious to take risks.
