If it’s Tuesday, it’s PSA Day in this spot on the Internet, also known worldwide as M.E.D.P.S.A. (Medical Examiner’s Day for Public Service Announcements). It’s huge in Belgium. As part of our ongoing observance of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, check out this 30-second PSA from USDOTNHTSA, a.k.a. the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Think about how you would feel if those were your friends. Or if you were in that car. Or if you were driving that car. None of it is very LOLish, is it? Statistically, drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident if they’re texting while driving. Considering how many people do it, that’s scary.
