This don’t talk/text and drive thing has been done many times before. As soon as the commercial begins you know exactly what’s going to happen. It’s a forgone conclusion. There is no surprise. But there is something about the impending doom that delivers the message.
But much like ads which urge us not to smoke or drink or do drugs, we humans do not give our habits and vices lightly. And convincing people to put their mobile phones down while driving…even though there are laws against using the devices in many states…is not an easy task. It’s kind of like asking people to give up sex. Our love for mobile connection is that strong.
But we wish Oprah Winfrey, Harpo Studios, The Governors Highway Safety Association and The Department of Transport well with their efforts. The Cartel produced.
