Gwent Police joined forces with film maker, Peter Watkins, and local drama students to create a 'don't text and drive' campaign. The film is called COW and is about Cassie COWan a girl from Gwent Valley whose careless texting results in the death of 4 people.
On a 'this scares the hell out of me' scale, from 1 to 10, it ranks as an 18+. I definitely won't be using my mobile while driving any time soon.
What do you think, would it make you think twice before using your mobile while driving?
P.S. Don't watch the film if you are faint hearted!

Oh my God. A powerful reminder 1) never, ever text while you are driving. and 2) compelling content that has the ability to permanently change behaviour can be entirely visual - no VO needed. Content that strives to achieve long term behaviour change is an interesting thing - does it need to be in context to hardwire it in? Warning messages on cigarette packets never work on me ... but then, neither do scary ads about the effects of smoking ...
Hope you didn't post that from your car Caitlin.
