What If Texting And Driving Was A Mandatory Skill For Your Test? (VIDEO)

Texting while driving is a very bad idea. You know it's dangerous, we know it's dangerous, but it turns out there are people out there - mainly under 25s - who do it anyway, despite the consequences.

But how can you explain to fun-loving young drivers that whipping out your iPhone and tapping away as you're scooting down a suburban road is a bad idea?

Well, one way would be to ask a group of inexperienced drivers to come along for a driving lesson and tell them a new rule for driving tests was that you need to be able to text and drive.

The results? This really rather clever YouTube video from a Belgian safety group called 'Responsible Young Drivers' - that balances humour with genuinely important information. Just the way we like it, really. Sometimes, anyway.

And after that, why not see how driving is meant to be done by checking out this 'extreme car parking' video gallery we've got for you below. Trust us, it's a thing!
