Don't be a statistic

Drinking and driving is talked about all of the time. Even though everyone talks about it, I think that it is still an important issue. I found this public service announcement on YouTube about drinking and driving and I thought that it was a very effective PSA. I watched the whole thing and did not realize that they were all say "was" until it was pointed out. I thought that this was effective because it gave the statistics on deaths related to drunk driving and it gave examples of victims. Another thing that was effective about this video was that the people talking were people that knew the victim, instead of a voice talking over the video. There are many people who are affected by drinking and driving, the people who are not at the scene are the people who are hit the hardest such as family and friends. I thought that the slogan for this campaign was great, "Don't be a statistic". I think that more people, especially teenagers, need to understand the true effects that drink and driving has on their families. This public service announcement is a good first step into learning that lesson.
