FA6FD7F076C6 | 1,622,647,992,835 | 2,792 | 2,987 | Georgia's new cell phone law, Hands-Free Driving, enacted Sunday, July 1st , 2018, was an imperative deterrent to reduce the number of fatal accidents, and loss of life for many innocent victims. | Evidence | Evidence 5 | 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 |
FA6FD7F076C6 | 1,622,647,987,587 | 2,988 | 3,289 | Currently, forty-seven states have banned texting and driving, additionally, the 15 other states that have enacted the hands-free law, which requires drivers to use hands free technology, have seen fewer deaths and a 16 percent decrease in traffic fatalities in the two years after the law was enacted | Claim | Claim 2 | 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516 517 518 519 520 521 522 523 524 |

FA6FD7F076C6 | 1,622,647,956,788 | 3,585 | 4,093 | In conclusion, thousands of people are killed every day because of the distractions of these mini devices. This epidemic has become as serious as drinking under the influence. If drivers considered the risks and their responsibilities while being behind the wheel, they would adhere to the law by purchasing devices enabling them to be hands free when using a cell phone. Whatever text or phone call that pops up on the screen of their phones can wait. It's for the safety of you and most importantly others. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 569 570 571 572 573 574 575 576 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 584 585 586 587 588 589 590 591 592 593 594 595 596 597 598 599 600 601 602 603 604 605 606 607 608 609 610 611 612 613 614 615 616 617 618 619 620 621 622 623 624 625 626 627 628 629 630 631 632 633 634 635 636 637 638 639 640 641 642 643 644 645 646 647 648 649 650 651 652 653 654 655 |

We seen a huge jump in vehicle accidents due to our technological advances in cars and phones. Today's world is such a dangerous place, especially on the roads.

A4106D0F4F19 | 1,622,479,626,807 | 949 | 1,306 | Phones are the main thing today that are causing problems in our society. They distract and hook people in. It has a great purpose but used improperly by most of us. As many studies show, we ARE distracted by them and should be prohibited to use while operating a vehicle. AT&T mademany advertisements that said "It can wait" referring to the use of phones. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,218,747 | 0 | 316 | Should or should not drivers be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. Some people strongly feel that under no circumstances should a person be allowed to use their phone, and there are others who feel there is nothing wrong with using your phone in your vehicle if it is used responsibly | Lead | Lead 1 | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,212,164 | 317 | 427 | I strongly agree that drivers shouldn't be able to use cellphones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. | Position | Position 1 | 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,236,835 | 428 | 539 | I can honestly say that I have seen multiple people get in real bad car accidents while looking at their phone. | Claim | Claim 1 | 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,251,492 | 539 | 901 | Even my own sister got into an accident because she wouldn't stay off her phone. I think banning cell phone usage in a car while driving is good. Having cell phones while driving isn't safe for others or yourself while driving. It can cause accidents, killing a lot of people, and possibly killing yourself over a text message , a silly video, or a phone call. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,244,988 | 901 | 1,033 | That's why there is a law that says, it's illegal to drive and text at the same time, or hold your phone to your ear while driving.
| Claim | Claim 2 | 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,258,691 | 1,034 | 1,412 | The law basically says a person cannot have a phone in their hand or on any part of their body like their leg or arm or stomach to support a phone. A person can only use their phones to make or get phone calls if they use speakerphone, earpiece, wireless headphones or the phone is connected to the vehicle or electronic watch. The
Hands-Free Georgia Act started July 1, 2018. | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,270,381 | 1,413 | 1,459 | There are alternatives to holding your phones, | Claim | Claim 3 | 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,276,391 | 1,460 | 1,646 | Businesses are creating hands free phone holders, with many different styles to appeal to all.. The hands free phone holder can be put on your windshield on the left side of your wheel.

5222525D172C | 1,623,163,289,674 | 1,647 | 1,844 | I also feel that with the distractions that cell phones cause while driving, which can turn into accidents, end up costing a person money, because of the damage from the car wrecks that may happen. | Claim | Claim 4 | 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,295,839 | 1,845 | 2,171 | Car Insurances are taking a lot of your money because of damaging other cars while texting and driving. The accidents also make your insurance increase which is more money out of your pocket. There is also the possibility of receiving several tickets as well for using your cell phone while driving, which is more money gone. | Evidence | Evidence 4 | 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 |
5222525D172C | 1,623,163,303,061 | 2,172 | 2,695 | There should be a lesson learned, which is no hand held talking while driving, no texting and driving and no social media and driving, not to cause accidents. Their is no way that you should be answering your phone while driving, let it go to voicemail or call them back later. For those who care about others don't text and drive at the same time. Keep others safe and your loved ones together. Abbied by the rules follow direction then you will never ever have to pay for any damages or worry about any injuries or death. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 |
FC63C08CEC27 | 1,622,479,469,605 | 18 | 110 | I say we should not be allowed to use cell-phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. | Position | Position 1 | 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
FC63C08CEC27 | 1,622,479,486,257 | 111 | 567 | Because according to today's research most accidents are caused by the use of cell-phones while driving. I honestly believe if more people stop using cell-phones while driving, it wouldn't be as many accidents as there is in today's society. After doing research it says " drivers are at a four times greater risk of a crash" and that is because of cell-phones. Also, when you are driving and using your phone it distracts from what's going on around you. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 |
FC63C08CEC27 | 1,622,479,493,216 | 568 | 699 | In the United States they have a law that if you are on your phone while driving you can get a ticket or furthermore get arrested. | Claim | Claim 1 | 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 |
FC63C08CEC27 | 1,622,479,497,733 | 700 | 1,361 | Now that they have passed that law i rarely see people use their phones while driving. Over the past couple of decades the use of phones while driving was the main cause of accidents. "Driver distraction, a sub-category of inattention, has been estimated to be a contributing factor in 8% to 13% of all crashes". When people get into accidents its alot that can happen like injuries, the insurance companies, and other people may be in the car with them. Before we try to stop letting people use their phones while driving they say it's a lot of other things that distract drivers as well like eating, arguing, listening to music, and yelling at other drivers.

My grandma she was pulling in to my uncle's church and she was trying to call someone and she hit a block that was holding a stop sign and it messed up the front of her car. Another one is my mom she was driving and she was swerving in and out of lanes and she almost ran into a pickup truck. I have many more but im just praying that everyone leaves driving with phones in 2018 because i don't want any harm coming to me or anybody else i know. | Evidence | Evidence 3 | 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 |

AC1EFB7F6080 | 1,622,766,314,866 | 0 | 689 | Cell phones have been a great innovation to society and mankind overall, however could these great devices be causing us harm? We have become so very dependent on our cell phones and always being connected that we cannot seem to put them down. Times such as when we are driving or something as simple as a family dinner just is not the same anymore, we are always communicating in some way however not with those who matter most. We sit down at the dinner table and do not talk with our families but our "friends" on social media. Not being able to separate our connection with our phones, laptops, tablets, etc. is potentially hurting us by never being able to step away from our devices. | Lead | Lead 1 | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 |

Also with only one other person in the car teen drivers are twice as likely to get into a fatal car crash. This is due to the fact that teens use cell phones more than adults and are also more easily distracted. Most drivers are aware of the fact that texting and driving is very dangerous but continue to do so anyway.
