RE: [trafficsafety] Sample of Public Commercial Announcement

That sounds good. Only thing I can recommend is changing “a bicyclist” to “someone”. Inattentive drivers are a danger to everyone, not just bicyclists.

My idea of a PCA.  Brian asked me to share this with you.

 

Scene 1:
A group of adults sitting in a room. The sign at the head of the room
says "CAA".  One person stands up at the podium and says " Hi , my
name is George Blunt, and I am a cell phone addict."  he goes on to 
say  "Yesterday, I accidentally hit a bicyclist as I was riding in my
car and talking on my cell phone."  The crowd hushes up and then he
says "I really should have been driving instead of talking on  the
phone. I didn't really think I would cause an accident".   The crowd
grows quieter and then he says "The woman died this morning".
