Is the Car-Crash Shock-Documentary: COW (later made into half-hour "Only Stwpd Cowz Txt N Drive"), based on real life events? If so, what sentence did the main character, Cassie Cowan receive?

Apparently, it is completely fictional, although highly realistic. "The hard-hitting four-minute short - created by Gwent Police in South Wales for 'just a few thousand pounds' using amateur actors - has been viewed by more than six million people in the last month alone. It tells the story of a fictional 17-year-old, Cassie Cowan, who becomes distracted when texting while driving with two friends. ... Senior officers had originally intended to make a film about joyriding but when they recruited youngsters from nearby Tredegar Comprehensive School, they were told that texting is more dangerous." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1211183/Made-Britain-just-thousand-pounds-The-graphic-road-safety-film-thats-taken-world-storm.html#ixzz0dTx75Lvf Jan 23 10, 5:45 PM
