THE TYPE OF DOCUMENTARY FILM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN TEXAS REQUIRE ALL STUDENTS TO WATCH IN THE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM:


The proposed new documentary film would use real-life videotapes and simulated videos to highlight each of the 20 or 30 most common mistakes that teenage drivers have made while driving a motor vehicle in Texas or riding as a passenger in a motor vehicle in this state.

The primary purpose of the film would be to warn junior high school students and high school students that , contrary to what the notoriously flippant Geico Auto Insurance company television commercials repeatedly suggest, driving a motor vehicle is a very, very serious activity.


Whenever they are behind the wheel or a passenger in a motor vehicle, they should proceed very cautiously and with a strong sense of "Defensive Driving" or responsible passenger style at all times.

This type of educational film in the school auditorium, if accompanied by a 30-minute questions and answers period afterward in which a defensive-driving expert and a police officer or Texas Department of Public Safety trooper could lead the discussion, could help to offset the harmful effects on teenage Texans from the outrageously glib and flagrantly irresponsible television advertising by Geico and some other auto insurance companies.


Those Geico TV commercials and some other insurance companies' TV commercials imply, among other things, that having a motor-vehicle accident while driving is a laughing matter. 

Motor-vehicle accidents most definitely ARE NOT a laughing matter, as Geico corporate officials and some other auto insurance companies should be officially advised by the Federal Communications Commission, in my very emphatic opinion.

The callously flippant auto-insurance-company-sponsored commercials also imply that a focus on public safety and on CONCENTRATION on the roadways are of little interest to those auto-insurance companies in the United States.

Geico also invites prospective customers to be completely worry-free and as scatterbrained as possible when evaluating the subject of auto insurance and driving a motor vehicle.

It seems to this anti-Geico observer that Geico in its commercials would prefer to jump about repeatedly from one completely irrelevant and unrelated topic to another, in a wildly reckless manner that shows a flagrant defiance by that insurance company toward any focus on public safety and responsible conduct on the roadways.

I hope for the future day when some consumer rights group or public-safety-minded group or courageous attorney general of a U.S. state files a lawsuit against Geico and other cited auto insurance companies that currently sponsor television commercials exhibiting a lack of maturity and lack of sobriety on the subject of how one should conduct oneself while driving on American roadways.
