Should be manditory watching in all drivers ed classes. However, after having helped work several really bad wrecks, they need to add the screams, the smell, and the touch to get it right. There is nothing like a decapitated body to get your day off right.

Not sure how many school districts across the state have the program, but in Arlington and Mansfield they have a "Fatal Choices" program. Set up a car accident scene with students involved in the accident. They handle it just like a real accident in which ambulance, Care Flight come and work the scene. Some of the students "die". They make a whole day out of it having a "grim reaper" come randomly take students out of class to represent another alcohol related death.

Almost 8 minutes long?!? I watched 45 seconds, and assume I got the basic idea. Be careful while driving or you will cover your car in bright red blood and you'll wind up in a small cinderblock room with muted colors and stark, dramatic lighting...

When I was in high school watching Red Asphalt was mandatory for all in driver's ed. Very graphic. One scene I'll never forget. I see it every time I do or attend a safety brief.

I do wish more people could learn from these but ...

Wow. This does make you think twice before getting on your phone, or even looking away for one second from the road. I have a bad habit of calling ppl on my cell in the car...I need to stop..
