83B280C99C8D | 1,622,581,406,363 | 746 | 1,054 | Drunk driving is another leading factor in car accidents everyday. These two things are closely related to each other because of how many injuries or deaths they both have caused. Some say that texting while driving is even more dangerous than drunk driving, but people still don't realize the danger of it. | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 |
83B280C99C8D | 1,622,581,333,419 | 1,055 | 1,240 | Many people argue that having a bluetooth will make it easier for them to stay on the phone while staying focused on the road while driving. they also say that it's more useful to them. | Counterclaim | Counterclaim 1 | 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 |
83B280C99C8D | 1,622,581,340,039 | 1,241 | 1,439 | But that can also distract them from the road as well, they could be in a very important conversation that can cause them to lose focus of what they're doing and they could end up in a bad car wreck | Rebuttal | Rebuttal 1 | 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 |
83B280C99C8D | 1,622,639,964,489 | 1,440 | 1,739 | If the phone call or text is that important, than they should take time to pull over into a parking lot so they can answer it instead of trying to answer it in the car. Most people believe that staying connected to the outside world is more important than focusing on the road but it really isn't. | Evidence | Evidence 3 | 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 |
83B280C99C8D | 1,622,581,321,252 | 1,740 | 1,870 | And even though there are laws that ban the use of cell phones while driving it hasn't stopped the amount of car crashes every day | Claim | Claim 3 | 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 |
83B280C99C8D | 1,622,581,326,671 | 1,871 | 2,208 | The government can put a law to ban the use of phones while in the car, but they can't stop People from using it because it's not as easy for police to see when people are on their phones as it is for them to determine how fast you are going or headlights are off. People just don't see the use in banning phones and don't follow them. | Evidence | Evidence 4 | 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 |
83B280C99C8D | 1,622,581,312,944 | 2,209 | 2,716 | I personally feel like people should stop using their phones as well and stay focused. If people truly want to stay safe then there are plenty of ways of doing this like putting their phones on silent and not on vibrate. They can also turn their phones completely off. And if they can do that it will at least lessen all the crashes. When you're behind the wheel, you should never have your attention on your cell phone. It's important to be alert at all times. You should always keep your eyes on the road. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 |

This is a Primary Law, which means that the driver can receive a ticket for the violation without other traffic violations taking place if you are using a hands-free phone kit, or your car comes with Bluetooth connectivity which allows your audio system to connect to your phone directly you are allowed to use your phone..

1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,487,488 | 20 | 109 | Should phones be acceptable to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle? | Lead | Lead 1 | 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,482,176 | 110 | 202 | Today, we will basically cover why people should be able to drive and use their cell phones. | Position | Position 1 | 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,507,121 | 203 | 281 | Nowadays, with all the technology some cars are capable to drive on their own. | Claim | Claim 1 | 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 |
1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,536,746 | 281 | 363 | Tesla would be a company that has started this whole new thing called autopilot. | Claim | Claim 2 | 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 |
1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,517,500 | 364 | 593 | Autopilot is an advanced driver assistance system which has lane centering, adaptive cruise control, self-parking, the ability to automatically change lanes, and the ability to summon the car to and from a garage or parking spot. | Claim | Claim 3 | 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 |
1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,526,378 | 594 | 1,038 | If you were to have that feature the car basically drives itself with asking you every 30 seconds to 2 minutes to grab the steering wheel and move it side to side just a little. Tesla has also announced sometime in 2020 that the car will be able to detect stop signs, cross-walks, stop lights, etc,. Which means the car is fully capable to drive itself anywhere you put the navigation to take you and you could fall asleep to your destination.

1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,555,156 | 1,039 | 1,189 | In addition, the Tesla model 3 has been tested and said to be one of the safest cars in the world with many of its safety features in the cars system. | Claim | Claim 4 | 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 |
1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,566,155 | 1,189 | 1,725 | So if you're capable of purchasing the car then I think you should be able to use the phone while driving sense the vehicle is driving to begin with. But if you can not purchase the vehicle I think you should be able to use the navigation system on the phone and have it set up to where it's not dangerous to look of the road for a second as if you were checking how fast your going. Most people can not afford that car and they drive older models of cars which don't have all the new technology in their car and all the extra luxury.

1EDE60604F6F | 1,623,168,575,829 | 1,726 | 2,110 | In other words, phones should be allowed for some people to use while driving, while others can not. It really can not be unfair because if it was really important for them to use the phone while driving they might think I should work harder in life to be able to do all their things while driving. So people should and should not be allowed to use their cell phones while driving. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 |

34969C5FF82C | 1,622,570,221,326 | 586 | 1,134 | Many people, teens especially, are losing their lives in car accidents. The cause of these car accidents could be avoided if these people were not texting while driving. The text states "...the number of auto fatalities has remained stable, at about 40,000 deaths a year. The US Department of Transportation estimates that 6,000 of those are the result of distracted driving." The textual evidence shows that phones and driving can be a large factor in deaths while driving. The most important part is how the phones are killing off these people. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 |

When doing them at the same time, your brain is unable to do either well." Multitasking is already hard on people and then their attention span makes texting and driving an even worse idea.

This evidence shows that humans already have a short attention span, so imagine a younger person with a weaker mind texting and driving. | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 |

34969C5FF82C | 1,622,570,271,367 | 1,963 | 2,539 | The youths are more likely to have and be using a smartphone while driving than elders. This is supported by the claim "Younger age groups are also much more likely to use social media sites like Facebook than older ones." This shows that youths are more likely to be affected by the epidemic of texting and driving. In the text it also states "In every country surveyed, those under 35 are more likely to own smartphones, to use the internet and to use social media than those ages 50 and older." Smart phones have more of an influence on younger people as seen in the text. | Evidence | Evidence 3 | 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 |

Not only should texting and driving not be allowed but it should be outlawed. This epidemic has already claimed the lives of so many people. People all over the world are losing their lives and sustaining permanent injuries from texting and driving. This needs to be stopped permanently by being outlawed and kept out of mind. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 |

309272016742 | 1,623,088,742,753 | 544 | 674 | One reason why cellphones while driving should be banned is let's start with texts social media and any other written phone alert. | Claim | Claim 1 | 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 |

309272016742 | 1,623,088,856,960 | 1,572 | 1,999 | Studies have shown that while talking to someone on the phone your brain is putting a; lot of its energy into the conversation. This means that less of your brain is focused on driving the car. Yes, that could also mean a conversation with someone in the car is dangerous but you add in bad reception, how uncomfortable the hands-free earpieces are to wear and the annoyance of static or wind and you have a worse distraction.

Texting and driving are talked about all the time, but people don't take it in consideration to be serious about the situation.
