This should be shown to every single person of driving age, and a couple of years before, at age 14 or so.

This is one of the very reasons I spent yesterday at what turned out to be a normal, 9 hour blood drive at our local college. We met at 7:30 AM and loaded up the van and a coach, then went to our local Merced College where we got a lot of life saving blood. We returned to the blood center at about 4:15.
All of us were exhausted, and some of the extra phlebotomists, the ones who draw the blood, had to drive the long way back to their base in Sacramento. And you can bet that THEY will never text while driving.
Some of it, far too much of it, will get used on text massager's victims and on them too, should they still be alive after the car wreck they caused.

Thanks Merced College, you saved lives today and tomorrow and up until the blood is too old to use and discarded, and that is very, very rarely done nowadays because of the extreme need. Now go forward and leave that damn killer massager alone till you are parked!!

Every one who can give blood should. It's good for you as well, since you get a mini physical exam, as well as the good feeling that you have helped someone in desperate need.
