    Also from the UK, but made privately by a single police force:

    This is new this week and is made to be shown in schools to discourage texting whilst driving.

    While I’m a fan of wearing seatbelts for a whole host of reasons, how would wearing one prevent his organs from moving around in a collision? :)

    Always wear a seatbelt…and thereby transfer the risk of your driving to those pedestrians and cyclists your seat-belt-confidence inspired driving causes you to crash into.
