This is not offensive, IMHO. Ineffective and somewhat misleading (if he was tossed around the car with enough force to kill the three seatbelted passengers, he wouldn't be alive either.)absolutely, but it's not distasteful or gory enough that it should offend anyone. And it misses the point that safe driving is just as important as seatbelt use.

But the reality is that teen accidents ARE grusome and tragic and more offensive than any commercial could ever portray.

The best way to curb this is to EDUCATE. Teach kids that a car is not a toy. It's 2 tons of rolling steel that can end a life in a split second if not treated responsibly.

Complaining about a bad commercial won't change the reality. Making sure our kids are safe and that they understand the seriousness of driving can.

If you truly want to see what's offensive, try Googling Nikki Katsouras. It will make you NEVER want to give your kids the keys to ANY car.
