Werner Herzog commissioned to make a short documentary... http://road.cc/content/news/90403-video ... le-driving

Very moving and should be shown to all drivers.

How ever did we get to a situation where people think it's OK to text whilst driving?

We need this type of thing bombarded on UK TV, it is disgusting that the fine for operating a communications device is so paltry, there's just no real deterrent.
I was sat waiting for someone yesterday at a set of traffic lights and in the space of 5 minutes I observed 9 people talking/texting on their phones, this is in 'leafy' letchworth Garden City well after the rush hour traffic had died down so not exactly great volumes of traffic, one guy was on his phone whilst making a left turn...driving a flat bed lorry...sinful beyond belief

That's so moving.

This shorter graphic film from the Gwent Police should also be compulsory viewing:

These drivers make a deliberate choice to put other people's lives at risk of death, yet seem blind to it.
Anyone caught should have their vehicle immediately impounded and they should receive an automatic ban.

Are you kidding?
In the UK you only get banned from driving if you kill someone,and even then with a good lawyer you'll most likely get off with it!
