I think that more than the accident and the girl dying, the point that was driven home to me was that the there are so many other people who are in the crash with the drivers.. Not only are these people killing other drivers, but they are affecting countless other people with thier absolutely selfish actions.
When I was 16, the car I was in was t-boned by a drunk driver running a red light. He was doing 60MPH and hit the drivers side door. My best friend Gina died in my lap before the rescue team got there. I have seen 4 horrific accidents due to drunk drivers, and the really screwed part is they always come out unscathed.
Yes, the video hits home. I would rather have them use actual footage, that gets to kids much more readily. They had Gina's car sitting in front of our high school for many years, with a picture of her, and a sign that read, "Still think drinking and driving is cool?" It worked, most parties were dry, and if they werent, there was a basket at the door, and keys were deposited there. EVERY kid I knew willingly gave up thier keys, and would stay the night if they drank AT ALL. We certainly didnt want to lose another friend, and we defintely didnt want to be responsible for a death.
