I think this kind of video should be shown in most television in Kuwait, as an awareness campaign to minimize road accidents prior on using mobile phones(SMS/BBMs) while driving.

btw, I like the vids…

what’s great about it is that it tells drivers what happens after the accident not only what leads to it.

Studies show that Texting while driving is more dangerous than drunk driving! I do it every once in a while i have to admit, but it is terribly stupid of me and i will do my best to STOP. It is sooo dangerous and i can clearly see myself drifting when i text and drive…

Mark, the fact that the idiot (passenger or not) is on a motorbike and BBMing whilst sat at a sharp angle (indicating speed) is utterly hillarious and pathetically irresponsible.

The guy riding the motorcycle isn’t using the BlackBerry or any kind of phone. Of course that would be irresponsible if he was. Both his hands are on the bikes handle bars.

Agaad Hunter: I thought the same thing: How incredibly irresponsible of Zain to post the ad of the motorcyclist SMSing! This done by a company that has done a lot to address corporate social responsibility – just a very poor PR move on their part.

I just came back from Virginia and there have been so many fatalities of people dying by SMSing while driving (mostly teenagers) that there is a strict law against it. Using a hands-free device is not mandatory, however, like it is here in Kuwait. Texting takes much more concentration (I think).
