You'll Never Text and Drive Again After Watching This Powerful Video

No matter how many times we hear it, some of us still check our phones while driving. It's a hard habit to break, even though we know what the consequences are. One new video will make you never text and drive again, as actors who can't let go of this habit meet someone whose life changed thanks to a driver with this reckless routine.

Created by Summer Break, a TV show sponsored by AT&T, the video focuses on actors from the show talking about how much they use their phone while driving. Most of them say they just text and drive or just send some Snapchats. A few of them even point out that they only do it at stop signs or red lights. The video then takes a turn when Jacy Good enters the room. She tells each one of them how a driver who was texting caused another car to swerve and hit her family's car. The result left her parents dead and Good "fighting for [her] life" for two months. Good now lives with a partially paralyzed body. After the actors hear the story, many of them pledge to never look at their phones again.

The video, posted to Facebook on Aug. 23, has more than 26,000 reactions, 100,000 shares, and 4.5 million views. It's no question why; it sends a powerful message reminding all of us that any action on our phones can change lives forever. Watch it above.

Here's Another Harry Potter Detail We Can't Believe We Never Noticed Before

J.K. Rowling always surprises us with the amount of detail she poured into Harry Potter, and it feels like every day we learn something new about the series. Reddit user SunshineallDay's fan theory provides more evidence of how much Rowling hid in her books.

It might be hard to catch when you're first reading, but look a little closer and you'll see it. The fun Easter egg shows how Hermione's character learned Wizard Baruffio wasn't the most intelligent in The Sorcerer's Stone from Professor Flitwick. Later in The Order of the Phoenix, Harry and Ron are tempted to drink Baruffio's Brain Elixir before their O.W.L.s, but Hermione clearly recalls their lesson and pours the drink down the toilet. An image from the books highlighting these two passages is below.

As if we needed another reminder of how sharp Hermione is! Really, what impressed us most about this is Rowling's memory - and that we can keep rereading the books and find more fun coincidences like this.
