How many times a day do you catch sight of someone looking down at their mobile phone while driving through traffic? The answer is probably more than we would like to admit to, and perhaps some of us are even guilty of doing it ourselves.

 

A road accident can happen within a split second, and it can change your life in ways you could never have expected, as well as the lives of those around you.

 

A video published this month is really driving home this point, relaying the message that, whatever the reason behind the ringing on your phone, it can wait until you and your passengers are safely home.

 

The video sets the scene through the eyes of six different characters, two of them a mother and daughter who are travelling along in their car as a father approaches them in his own vehicle.

 

Everything is fine until the mother gets a notification on her phone, and tragedy ensues as she looks away for just a few seconds to read it.

 

This is an incredibly powerful video showing the kind of devastation that distractions while driving can cause. Check it out below.
