a really gross/horrific/nasty picture of a bad wreck. The title of the email is "why you shouldn't drive while texting"...I will not post it because I deleted it and plus I wouldn't do that to you people, but what I want to know is why on earth would someone take pictures of that terrible scene??

My stomach is quite upset!!

    I doubt it was some dude just taking pictures

    For the exact reason that you received it. To warn people not to do stupid things when driving. Photos are often taken at such scenes for government warning schemes.

    What he said. I don't know about other countries but we always get adverts like that inbetween our programmes here. It's supposed to be disturbing. :)

    You get ads of actual wrecks and people being scraped off the road? That is pretty graphic...

    Yes, but there are apparently some much stronger photos circulating on the Internet, than the image of the average bloody foot sticking out of a squashed motor that we get in government ads. I was hearing about this on a radio 'phone in. We're talking very graphic images of multiple injuries here. I won't go into any detail as to what was depicted, according to what was said on this program, but it was not pleasant.

    Not being scraped off the road but there was one recently of some kids messing about with their mobiles while one was hit by a car. Most are acted but I'm not sure about that one.

    That one was acted. They just filmed it on a mobile so it would look real and, subsequently, more shocking. I think it was one of the "better" ones, for want of a better word.

    I got the same email. It is VERY disturbing. I had to delete it immediately.
    But I will say this, it puts DOING STUPID THINGS while driving into perspective. JUST HANG UP AND DRIVE!!!

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who could respond to every single message ever posted with some sort of Simpsons' quote. But only from the 1st 10 seasons... Lousy Smarch weather!
