Texting While Driving Warning Too Graphic For Some

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― Texting while driving is illegal in the United Kingdom, and a new public service short film aims at showing teens why. But the video has been flagged by YouTube because it has been deemed too gruesome for some people. That means people under 18 aren't able to view the clip.

The recreation shows the driver of a group of girls sending a text message which distracts her, leading to a violent crash. Included in the video, which you can see in our video player, is a slow motion recreation of a fatal crash and the emergency efforts to save victims.
