Rick Perry hadn't vetoed a statewide safe passage bill. Opponents have spent the morning saying that all that's needed is pubic education, but odds are that everyone will get squeamish about a realistic representation of the danger.

Now the Welsh, they know how to do a PSA. This warning bought to you courtesy of the Gwent Police Force.

WARNING: The depiction of what happens in a car crash depicted in this video is, well, totally accurate. Therefore gory and unpleasant.
