A stirring Volkswagen ad recently shocked a group of theater-goers with its uniquely communicated message about the dangers of texting and driving. While taking your phone out during a movie is merely a nuisance to others, taking it out when driving could result in a tragedy, and Volkswagen's ad really hammers this point home. Watch as unsuspecting movie viewers are caught off guard when the ad takes a startling turn.


Did you know that texting behind the wheel is six times more dangerous than driving drunk?

Reaction times are significantly slower for people who use their phones on the road, so in a case when there's only a few seconds to react to a dangerous driving situation, texters are at very high risk of getting into accidents. However, even with this knowledge at hand, few motorists are actually pulled over for using their phones while driving, and there are still far too many stories about people who die in car accidents because they or someone else was sending a text message.

With this in mind, Camelback Volkswagen would like to remind all of you to keep your eyes on the road. It's best to put your phone away until you reach your destination, rather than risk the lives of yourself and others.
