    The ad shows that texting and driving is bad. The way that this ad gett at peoples emotions is before the crash it shows them having a great time, and laughing. But when she picks up the phone and drives past a stop sign she gets nailed by a truck resulting is the death of her and her friends.

    I think this is beneficial since it is showing why the police pull us over for texting and driving, and why not to do it.

    I think this commercial is extremely beneficial. This add really pulls on the heart strings by showing some happy teens on a road trip suddenly get crushed by a truck. It also has the fear factor by showing the teens get thrown around in the car and then die.

    This warning ad was a very successful piece of propaganda. The video showed the real consequences of texting while driving and that you really should think about what you might cause if you do text while driving. Also it gave an example of a cop making it clear that he wouldn't have pulled her over just because he has to do it but because the purpose of dong so could save lives.

    I think this commercial is very beneficial because it shows the consequences of texting while driving. It is very sad to see teenagers having fun then being in a car accident because the driver was texting. Not texting can save lives.

    This is helpful because it shows that texting and driving can change your life forever.And if u didn't go through a red light and the police officer gave you a ticket then you would be annoyed but he is helping you to prevent what happens in this video.

    This ad targeted people who drive and also teenagers who are about to drive. It is supposed to scare people and show them the consequences of texting and driving.

    This commercial is telling people not to text and drive because it could cost you your life. It is very dangerous, yet people still do it. The target audience is people who drive. It is trying to get people to stop texting and driving.

    This video made me feel very afraid, but thoughtful. I got very scared when I realized that they died from checking one text, but it also made me thoughtful, and understand the dangers of texting while driving.

    This activates emotions quickly because it demonstrates the all too real consequences of distracted driving. I worry, however, that some people may be able to brush it off as too dramatic, particularly with the police figure at the end.
