February 27, 2010 5:09am CST
A while ago I got sent a link on FB about safe driving, upon opening it and starting to watch, I already found myself getting goosebumps all over, shortly follwed by tears, and I can garantee it happens to me every time I watch. Its on you tube under called "please drive safe - a heart touching video" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwh_nM4wtrg please let me know if you can hold back the tears also it may open your eyes about driving safe!

wow! waaahh.. I cried. That's true and very sad. That is why we all should drive safely. I'm not good in holding back tears. I'm such a tear-jerk. After I watched the link you've provided I have found another sad infomercial from youtube. It made me cry too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpf2hsZGsJM&NR=1

I'm sorry to hear people keep on hurting you, I've been hurt many times but still a cry-a-baby! Did you view the link? that will be the test if you can hold back tears!

coming from the past and world that i do YES I am extremely good at not only holding back my tears but also at hiding my emotions..Where I came from YOU HAD TO..that aside though...Videos like that dont phase me because they are re-enactments and obviously so and seeing the things I have in life and experiencing the things I have (including a bad car accident) re-enactments just dont get to me...May sound cold and harsh but its actually not...I KNOW that the ppl in the videos DIDNT really get hurt so there is no point in getting worked up over it....

I'm not good at holding back my tears. Whenever I feel touched by something I just can't help getting teary-eyed. But it's harder for me to cry when I'm mad because I feel like I shouldn't show weakness when I'm angry.

I was able to hold back the tears, which I'm generally not able to, but the video sure got it's point across. In a split second, it can all come to an end...be attentive when you're driving...be careful.

absolutely no... I am a cry baby, whenever I see someone cries, I cry easily specially when I can relate to her/his pain.

Oh, I wish I could watch it but we can't open youtube in China. Anyway, regarding holding back of tears when watching something or even talking about it, I am not good at it. It's like my tear gland is uncontrolled. Well, maybe because I'd been hurt so many times.

Thanks Kelly for sharing it. I did try to hold back my tears but could not. It really is heart rendering. It was as if I could feel a shiver running down my spine and really wish that people take care while driving.
