The Belgian singer Pommelien allows herself to be bullied to teach the youth a lesson.
A personal annoyance of mine in traffic is cyclists with headphones on, a phone in their hand and their noses in the screen. Then of course you're shocked when you drive past. Very dangerous.
Not only I think that, the Belgian singer Pommelien Thijs (22 years young) also thinks it is dangerous. Only she does something with it. She allowed herself to be run over in front of them especially to make her mostly young fans aware of the dangers. Then you have a heart for the cause!
Traffic accident
Okay, for her music video, so not for the real thing, but still. She feels responsible and uses her role model to make something clear. Quite different from the drinking, smoking and snorting musicians of my own adolescence, but we also live in different times. At that time, there were still strings hanging from the letterbox and we only knew telephones indoors.
It is a bit pedantic. She herself gives the opposite The newspapaer that she wants to warn about the potentially terrible consequences of smartphone use in traffic.
Half-dead singer on her phone
By the way, it is not her goal for everyone who participates in traffic to have a half-dead Pommelien in mind. Good thing, too. However, the clip seems to be compelling for some viewers and has a strong impact.
Of course, she herself is no angel in traffic, so she puts her hand into her own bosom. Pommelien also likes to change a playlist behind the wheel! Shame!
Three out of five teenagers are screwed
Also at the Belgian Standard she can explain her clip, which actually means that she has also done very well in terms of marketing. Don't let your phone steal your future, says the singer.
The clip is also part of a campaign by the Flemish government and the public broadcaster VRT. The broadcaster reports that one in three Belgian cyclists between the ages of 18 and 34 occasionally sends or reads a message while cycling.
The Netherlands even worse
In our country, where we cycle much more, have more difficulty with authority and always know everything better than anyone else, but certainly than our southern neighbors, figures are also available. Insurer Interpolis reports to that other DPG newspaper that three in five teenagers in 2021 and 2022 will be involved in a dangerous traffic situation or accident while on their phone.
Well, those are figures that might make you scratch your head. Unfortunately, the average teenager finds the latest app more interesting than the SUV that they do not see coming.
If you want to see for yourself what the fuzz is all about, we have one just for you below the video clip added where the singer is run over with a phone.
