"AT&T approached the legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog and asked if he would direct a series of short films warning people about the dangers of texting while driving."

Don't text and drive folks...

:aok

Talking/Texting while driving stupid. If ye doin either, ye playing Russian Roulette.

Last week I took notice of a red/orange Cavalier that was moving fast as I was making my way through a round-about. "Divert all attention to this one" was the strong feeling I got. I get on my break, going with my feeling on this one. I could see something in her hand and she was paying all of her attention to it. Sure to spit, she blows through the yield and nearly get's hit by my 20 ton vehicle (had I not already been on my break, a connection would've been made). :bhead Just so happens that PD was behind her when it happened. Soon as we both cleared the round-about, he hit's his lights, goes around me and stops her just a block down. I couldn't help but have a BIG smile on my face. :D

Just too bad PD can't pull cell records to see if they were on it when the incident happened.

Thanks for posting this, Scholz. I circulate this one as widely as possible for the same reason (and at 4:16 it's quicker to watch!).
