Your friend is driving you home from a party. It was the best time of your life. You feel drowsy, not able to think straight. You notice your friend is texting while driving. You come to your senses and ask if he can pull over, he declines. You black out, what feels like a couple of minutes later you wake up and notice you were in a coma. You ask where your friend is and he's been dead for 2 years.

In today's society, phones are a big distraction. When someone's phone makes a sound or when someone gets a notification, that person just has to check it. Even though we all know being on the phone and driving is extremely dangerous.

A life should be way more important than a text message or notification. A person could look away for a split second and a crash could happen right in that moment. When someone is on their phone and driving they're very much capable of drifting off. Just a minor slip up could turn into a major accident.

Distracted driving has become more normal in today's society. Most people often use their phones while driving because they feel capable of doing so. That same reason could be a cause of a death due to an accident. It would be much easier to avoid accidents if everyone started off their phones while driving.

Being a distracted driver not only affects the victims but those who love them. They can prevent deaths by just putting their phones up while driving. A notification or text message can wait until the car isn't in motion. Being impatient can cause someone to lose their life because of an irresponsible driver. Phone shouldn't be used while driving.

Doing that can highly put risk a lot of people's life due to the fact of your reaction time is minimized. Say your driving on the freeway 60 mph and your on the phone your gonna be 50% on the road and 50% on the phone. Doing that puts so much risk and could potentially end someone's life.

With that being said there are ways of preventing an accident and helping out lives. I disagree with driving with phones because it can cause many life changes and that is very painful. Putting your phone to the side is safer than keeping it with you non stop. Therefore in my opinion there should be a law or ban of any types of phones in a car.

car crashes due to cell phone use goes up each year. People lose their lives daily by trying to do something that may be so simple to them. Maybe trying to change a song, text someone back, take a picture, etc. People do not realize that anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Just like that loved one of yours could be dead or severely injured. You should never be on the phone by any means while driving.

Think about "Even at 60km/h, your car is travelling at more than 16 metres per second, so in those few moments your eyes were on a screen rather than the road you moved far enough to not see a motorcycle, a pedestrian, or someone braking suddenly in front of you."You being on your phone while driving you put your life potentially at risk and other drivers. Causing us to have accidents that could have been avoided but now is a serious problem because someone may be hurt

For instance, "mobile phone use while driving increases your risk of accident by up to 400 per cent, points out that, in 2016 alone, police in NSW charged 39,000 people for doing so (100 drivers a day are busted for it in NSW and VIC)." Just put your phones down and focus on the road. You don't want to be the person who may have killed someone loved one. You never know at the time if it may be more then one person was in the car at the time of the accident and someone may have gotten injured. Now you have to take responsibility in that situation when it all could have been avoided if you have chosen not to use your phone while driving.

No one wants to live with that guilt in their mind for the rest of their life knowing they were the reason someone's family or friend passed away. Don't be the reason, be the person who does the right thing and making it safer on the road for people.

. One example could be hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is caused by traction and sliding on a film of water. Using one hand for driving and the other hand for the phone while it's raining is a creation of an accident and getting the privilege to drive taken away. Your driving privileges would be taken away because the driver has a phone in their hand and it's not allowed to have a phone in the vision of the driver behind the wheel.

The Hands Free Law is a proposed driving law that states that a driver shall not "record or broadcast a video" on any mobile phones, iPads, computers or touching any part of their bodies while operating a vehicle. Even with the Hands Free technology, drivers are not allowed to write, read, or send any messages or emails, but voice to text is allowed. Voice to text is a form of speech synthesis that converts text into spoken voice output or when the speaker can speak into their device and it translates their words into a text so that the speaker is able to answer the text message or any other important subject.

Driving is a privilege. Responsible drivers should always pay attention to the road and other drivers. Cell phones should always be out of the drivers hand so they may maneuver the steering wheel and not drive reckless. Drivers need to remember that driving is a privilege and that it can easily be taken away from you.

Texting while driving is the cause of more than 58% of crashes involving teen drivers. Life is more important than "I'm close or an OMG" text! It takes five seconds to send a text and five seconds to be the cause of a crash, that can hurt or endanger the lives of other people. The National Safety Council reports that cellphone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year and nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting and driving. One out of every four car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving.

It is illegal to hold a cellphone in your hand or on any part of your body and if violators get caught, you will have to pay a large fine. The law should be enough to stop people from driving and using their cellphones, but it's not. On the news, in Cobb County, the police dresses up as utility workers at various intersections to catch violators using their phones and most of the time they catch a lot of drivers and give out traffic citations.

In conclusion, no one should be on their phone while driving because it is a risk to them and other drivers on the road. Cellphones are a wonderful invention and one of the greatest inventions made by man, but texting while driving is very dangerous and can cause death to other drivers. This can also result into being convicted of murder and life in prison.

So to me I disagree that using your cell phone while driving should be a no go because that's how much of the people get a ticket or get into a car crash that sometimes they get hurt or they hurt others so that's why it think driving while using your phone should be banned. But I agree that if you are at a stop light you are able to use your for because you are in one places you are not moving at all and also the light takes time to change so you can go that why I agree that it is the only time to see who texted you and text back.

They tend to use their cell phone while being on the road thinking they can multitask when in reality they can't. People do not realize the kind of accident they can cause by replying back to a text or just reading one. That one simple reply can take someone else's life in a blink of an eye. Once it happens there is no going back, it's not like a message where you can delete or go back to that one specific text.

There are people with kids in their car trying to get back home or on their way to spend time with some family. Most of these people do not make it back home or to their destination due to either a car accident caused by people who are distracted on their phone. There are children who do not know that a simple phone they use to watch videos on is a bad thing for them. Not only is it a bad thing but it can cause serious outcomes to anybody who is just driving and going on with their life.

To tell the truth, the use of cellphones while driving is illegal in most places. People can get a ticket and get fined for doing so. There are many penalties that people can receive from getting a ticket. For example, some may pay the fine and get demerit points to your license. These demerit points provide a balance and check anyone's driving; they are either added or subtracted from your license. These point vary based on the type of convictions you get. If you go over the number of demerit points based on the type of license you have your license may be suspended.

As a final point, the use of any type of cell phone should not be allowed by anyone who is driving. No one really knows the kind of danger cell phones be putting people in. Yes it's a small device almost as big as the size of your hand but it can cause a serious accident. Cell phones may not seem like a big deal to people nowadays but in reality they can be deadly.

When we think of cell phones we think of a device that we can't live without. A cell phone is something so essential to our lives that when we use them we tune everything else out. We constantly stay on our cellphones to distract us from the problems that are happening in the real world. We use our phones everywhere we go but we never watch our surroundings. When driving it is important to know your surrounding but when you're distracted by messages and phone calls and social media it puts the passengers and your life at risk

Imagine that you are driving and you get a text from someone and you feel that you just had to answer. Then you respond and when you look up your unable to stop in time and then everything goes black. This whole situation could have been avoided if being on your phone was not as important as your well being and others. Although it may be convenient to text while driving, it is increasingly becoming the reasons for car accidents today

Looking down at your phone will make you react to anything that may occur slower. Someone who is attentive is able to react to a possible accident occurring whilst the person texting and driving would not. This is known as defensive driving when one is able to defend yourself against dangers on the road. One who is using their device while driving lacks defensive driving.

People tend to text and drive without realizing that it may cost their life or someone else's. A text is never that important that could possibly change your life for the worse. It may be considered cool or easier to just be on your phone whenever you want, but it is the increasing reasoning for car accidents. Texting and driving is illegal for a reason and that should be a very serious law to abide by. Before you decide to pick up your phone while your driving just ask yourself: Is this really worth putting myself or others at risk?

Not be allowed to use cell phones at all is like the government robbing them twice. Twice because once for the handsfree, and another for a ticket for using it.
