Almost no one feels it is dangerous to drive a few miles faster than the maximum speed limit. However, even “slight” speeding kills and injures thousands of people every year. On average, speeding causes 3,287 deaths a day. And we tend to ignore the many lives of people close to us that are devastated as well.

To slow down their loved ones before it is too late, people in this film set up an unusual wake-up call. They invited their speeding friend or family member to their own funeral. The emotional reality check was caught on (hidden) camera.

I was really touched by this video. To me, it reinforces the old saying “it’s better to arrive late than never”. If you find this video eye-opening, please share it with friends and family!
