This New Australian ‘No Texting While Driving’ Ad Is Intense


It should go without saying: don’t touch your goddamn phone while you drive, dumb-dumb. Sadly, more and more people are getting hurt by checking in on Facespace or whatever while operating a motor vehicle. So much so that the Victorian TAC has created this really shocking ad to kick you right in the feels.

The ad focuses on the fact that if you look at your phone while you drive for just two seconds at 50km/h, you’re driving blind for 27 metres. In which time you’ll probably run over a mum and her young child you ass.

Don’t be a dick: get your hand off it while you drive.
