These PSAs Are So Good You Just Have To Watch Them

Most of us are guilty of these driving infractions; but many of our loved ones are lost each day to the error proneness of humans behind the wheel of a car. These PSAs attempt to warn us of the small errors of driving that turn into large consequences.

This PSA from New Zealand plays on the way in which a simple miscalculation can cost lives. 

This PSA from the US forces us to look at the dangers of the simple act of texting while driving. How often do you see commuters around you bobbing their heads up and down plunking out, or reading, a text? Happens all the time, and the consequences are horrifying.

The message here is embrace life and wear your seatbelt. When we're driving, even when we're alone, we're not: We have those in our lives who love us and to whom we are responsible. When we put on our seatbelt, we acknowledge that we are loved and needed.

This video is all about paying attention when driving. As noted in a previous post, the very act of driving does very little to stimulate the brain, which leads to lapses of attention. The PSA below shows the dangers of such lapses.
