Don't Text and Drive Commercial
Someone sent me this video, and I saw myself forced to share it with you...
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
Yay for Cell phone use being illegal while driving in NS Unless of course you're calling 911 for some reason
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial

Introduction/Basics
Even Horizon is a forum that is kept clean and friendly for all people to use. This is not a forum for spammers, people who use chatspeak as their main language or people come to flame others or to disrupt the general community. We pride ourselves on our acceptance and ability to all fit in with each other with no fears of being bullied or pushed around. So the rules are fairly simple and also fairly relaxed.
At Even Horizon, we do not:
Spam to excess, spam attack or post with intent on spam
Flame others users
Insult with intent to hurt
Commit Racism, Bigotry, Sexism, Liable, Slander, Hate Literature, Plagiarism (Immediate Banning is Result)
Hacking (Immediate Banning is result)
However, contrary to most forums, we do have certain exceptions to a few of the above rules. The best rule of thumb here is use your judgement and common sense.
What is Tolerated:
Necroing (If post is worth bringing back an old topic and presents new light that benefits the rest of the user community. Do not Necro however on anything older than 3 months.)
Teasing is intended in a fun manner and the person being teased understands that and enjoys it and does not take it as insulting.
Again, just use your best judgement and if you are still unsure, simply ask one of the staff, they are there for questions like this as knowing how to integrate into the forum is an important thing.
Punishment
For the most part, each situation is deal with according to how the staff feels it should best be dealt with. Generally there is a three strike system, first strike is a warning by a staff member via PM, the second is a temporary ban judged by the staff and the third is a permanent banning from the forum.
There is a minimum user age here (this does not apply to old members). Reason being, some of the content may be more mature than others. Swearing is allowed here as long as it’s not in excess. Videos, images and music may be of a semi-mature level as well as long as it is again not in excess (exceptions are the Dark Corner and Dark Sunset Pub).
You must show respect towards all members, at all times.
Just thought I should remind you of those
It applies to all drivers cause quite frankly, most guys don't drive well either, so let's be fair here

Tredegar (where this is supposedly filmed) is in the Welsh Valleys, and full of chavs. The law banning phones doesn't really deter them from doing this type of thing.

Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
far out that really hit me. In New Zealand we have a law banning txting and not using hands free when on the phone driving. we need ads like that here no one takes notice of our ones.

It does and it doesn't here. There's definitely a smaller percentage that use phones in cars then before, so it does help some, better than nothing
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
yea agreed, you get a fine here if you get caught. I have heard some people say those kinda ads should be banned cos they scare people. I say show them more and show how bad it can be so people see the reality of how dangerous it really is.
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
Yeah, they've been using ads like that (with fair success) for things like Job safety, drinking and driving and cell phone usage. The shock and awe tactic seems to be fairly successful. They also showed us a few years ago in school a police mock up of a drunk driving crash of a certain variety. They showed us the entire deal, the blood and guts and everything, it was pretty nerve shattering and I think quite a few people vowed never to drink and drive after that video
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
Then that's good, (please forgive the bluntness of this statement) I honestly think its the stupid overprotective mothers who don't want their kids exposed to the harsh world we live in and would rather them bathe in the ignorance that ends in people getting killed.
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
On a somewhat related note, guess what, while I was pushing carts today, a careless driver backed into my cart pushing machine. He lost part of his tail light.
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
we need people to actually learn how to drive well not just how to drive.
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
I can drive-ish. Oh damn, it's been almost 3 months since I last drove...this probably isn't going to end well if I do sit behind the wheel again anytime soon...
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
I have my beginner's which will expire in July unless I get more experience and take the driving test, fail it, get more experience, take it again and hopefully pass it
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
yay for driving! my dad said take the car up to a speed your comfortable he stopped me after about 100 kph ( 60mph)
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
Ha ha. I actually found driving at 100KPM on the highway easier than doing 50 through town with cars coming at you from everywhere. Town sucks and valley drivers are..heh..there's no word for it really
Re: Don't Text and Drive Commercial
I've seen this commercial on the news not too long ago. I think people should see it. Especially people 13+
(just because I saw a girl texting while riding her bicycle)
Heck, I should have taken a picture of it, but there's an old lady that drives down Rockwell, (a main street in my neighborhood) on a scooter chair, while talking on a cell phone.
She drives in the slow lane, but still.... She's so slow!
GOD LADY GET OOF THE ROAD!!
(In OKC we have few sidewalks on the older side of town for population control.)
