So I tend to have a heavier foot than I should... This ad made me feel terrible about it. Extremely well made, and makes you double think what your doing. I hope this video will help someone today

nice video yet true. i have a heavy foot as well but i try my hardest to predict the next 10 seconds whether i should let my foot of the gas or gun it faster to pass them up (with the fact of looking all around me including my blind spots and maneuver to the next lane accordingly). but it can change at the last seconds.

That was more than just speeding. Flat out wreck less, but it has certainly struck home. I'm guilty myself at times.

Unfortunately it's a sad truth. It's unfortunate that these types of ads go out. I saw this last week or around New Years. It's starting to get viral if not already. Unfortunately regardless of the ad, there's always going to be "that someone" who's always going to be speeding, driving erratic, or just apathetic TILL an accident like this happens.

I mean, check out the justice system and the kid form Texas that drove 3x over the BAL, killed 4 and basically made his passenger a vegetable. 10 years probation because his lawyer said the kid suffered affluenza. Google it, interesting read and a sad characteristic of humanity.

His speedo is in kilometers per hour; he is doing about 65 mph.

Wow...an eye opener for sure.

There was a billboard right outside of my office that was against texting and driving. It was just a bloody broken windshield and it said OMG in blood.

Everybody, use your head when driving your beautiful Lexus!

I agree he's pretty much doing our average speed here in the states... Now if it was 100MPH then yes thats reckless always anticipate the worst and as for the guy pulling out with a kid on board he should of just waited that one more second.
