    The baby bit is scary, but if it stops one person texting and driving its worth while!

    i agree. This is an excellent ad. The part with the baby is so sad. But i reckon it will be very effective

    If only they'd show that kind of ad on Rté and TV3 people might wise up and not do it.

    Exactly, the RSA should get that on Irish channels, it really drives home the point to every audience, from older adults to parents to young teenagers

    maybe they should play that at test centres and theory test centres, get the message home to potential drivers. Great ad that really hammers the message home.

    That is horrific (particularly the car with the baby) and anybody caught on a mobile phone in their car should be made watch that video.

    Here's some more info on the clip http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hXYpIGW4r0VfRv817u_qjYbOvafg
    It's a clip from a short 30 minute film called "Cow" cost them €11,500 to make the car crash. It was only planned to be shown locally and now it's being shown all over the world. Best use of €11,500 I've ever seen if it even saves 1 life.
