Too big a problem to just ignore. Please share the link to this video with everyone you know, and especially your kids! [http://www…ebhWD6ljZs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DebhWD6ljZs) ---

Excellent documentary, and by a major cellular carrier as well. Very powerful. ---

Thanks, Mark. I think every driver should watch this! ---

I notice that there are a lot of people talking with the actual handset rather than going hands-free. It’s all kinds of drivers from vans to people carriers. It’s now illegal here in the UK but there are so few Traffic cops about no one pays attention to the law. ---

A law won’t solve the problem, but it is another tool to fight it with! ---

Thankfully, both my cars have a built-in bluetooth handsfree system. I make sure to program both cars into my and wife’s cell phone. Will do same for dughter’s first car in 3.5 (yikes!) years. Can’t stop em from talking, but can make it safER ---

Maybe in 3.5 years they will have invented a safer way to communicate while driving! ---
