Video contrasts

In my opinion, I think that the texting while driving video was more effective. Although it was a bit too dramatic, it was quite impacting. The video against texting while driving can actually make a bigger impact because it's mostly targeted at a bigger audience. The majority( if not all) of those who text while driving are teenagers, and in this country there are a lot. I'm not saying all teenagers who drive do this but for those that do( and the numbers are far greater for the ones that do than those that don't) can hopefully take something from the video and actually stop.

I feel the seat belt video gets its message across better. It is simple, short, and straight to the point. It also gives you an idea right away on what you have to lose or what you can leave behind, your family. Also, what kind of example would you be giving to your children if you yell at them to put their seat belt and you don't? I felt this question can also be taken from the video.

All-in-all, both videos have great messages. It just depends on how you look at it. Everyone knows that texting while driving is stupid and not wearing your seat belt can lead to severe injuries if not death. So use your common sense and don't text while driving and wear you seat belt because do you really what to leave your family this early in your life with sadness and sorrow?
