Texting and driving causes more harm than good. We need to educate our young people and even our adults of the risk they are taking when they are texting and driving.

E2F927952266	1,623,153,112,672	1,190	1,780	Overall my understanding would be that People should be able to use cell phones while driving, not many people would say it's safe but when it comes down to being responsible, I think people like that, that know how to manage their time on the phone and as cautious as could be , with a Bluetooth speaker in their car would be good source to use instead of having to pick up the phone and having to put it up to your ear in making it notice , but if you are as responsible as people who know how not to pick up a phone you should try using Bluetooth in your car for you can start using it.

Making it dangerous for them and other drivers, since teens have the least amount of experience behind the wheel. In other cases many drivers keep their eye of the road to dial a number, this can have disastrous results for others and pedestrians. People don't realize that accidents can happen in a split second, in those few moments that your eyes are on a cell phone you moved far enough to not see a motorcycle, a pedestrian, or a vehicle braking suddenly in front of you.

Jail time only for a misdemeanor charge, loss of license in some cases involving injuries. State laws should be more strict on these things, because drivers don't take these punishments serious.

What I'm referring to this information for is because adults are supposed to be, or at least traditionally the responsible ones. You would think that they would put the phone down but no they text and drive or even talk on the phone while driving. Which is putting their life at risk. If you are driving you are handling an over 40 ton machine which has a lot of speed on it, even for a truck. So when you add additional stuff like a text, which can wait until u get home or at a stop you'd rather, get yourself killed and most likely others. You're basically, if it's a fatal car crash then, killing yourself which is suicide. You're taking yourself away from your family which is not right.

According to edgarsnyder. com, 390,000 injuries occur each year, just from using cellular devices while driving. But this is the more disturbing fact, 11 teens are killed EVERY single day in the United States. That's a scary number and considering those are not just from people texting and driving but the innocent are killed. This is basically proof that cell phones are killing machines and should be inaccessible while operating a motor vehicle. Just imagine irresponsibly texting on your phone and not thinking of the safety of others. Then BOOM, you have just killed young boy or girl in their late teens driving home from a job or restaurant and whom may have had more people in their car. Then the person parents have to hear that their child was killed due to your irresponsibility. It's just really sickening and depressing.

The fine will be 50$ and it will be doubled your second offense, according to USA Today's Article on the new founded law. Distracted driving is a main problem in today world. It has come to a certain point in today's America to where WE as a people need a law on not using our cellular devices. It should already be put in your mind after so many lives of young teens and adults' lives have been lost. But that's not good that you have to pay a fine and on top of that if you get caught in an accident, you will have to either be sued by the victim of the car crash or you will have to pay for expense on your car insurance. As an adult especially paying your bills and having to deal with a fine of $50. That is just unnecessary. According to CreditDonkey. com The average an adult spends money on groceries is $400. $400 is an absurd number for groceries, so just imagine getting sued and paying a fine and even on top of that paying car insurance. You my friend have just dug yourself in a huge hole that is going to take a while on.

You are not only putting yourself at risk but many others. Everyone knows that your phone is an addiction and it is just something we do off impulse but that is no excuse. Train your brain to say no and put the phone down. The text or phone call is not nearly as important as driving on the road is and I hope people will start to realize the importance of this topic and will consider it in their own lives, Will You?

In this situation, this distraction can be the difference between life and death. Talking on the phone may not seem like a distraction; however, in reality it is far more than that. With new technology development, newer cars are now equipped with hands free Bluetooth. In my opinion, car manufactures should continue innovate and develop operational equipment in cars to make the danger factor of talking on the phone while driving non-existent. Lastly, multi-tasking is a distraction that most of the time goes unnoticed. From putting on makeup, eating fast food, to searching for items in the car, these are daily tasks we do in the car without thinking about it. What we don't realize, is that we are still putting our lives and the lives of others at risk by trying to multi-task while driving. 93% of rear end collisions occurred because the driver of the following car removed their eyes from the road 3 seconds prior to the collision (Bagg, 2006).

Opponents would agree that the more states banning distracted driving laws, the more safe our roadways would be (Albanesius, 2011). Distracted driving is a very serious offense and can carry severe sentences behind this madness. In some states, such as Massachusetts, distracted driver, which causes a death or injury can be charged with vehicular manslaughter which can be punishable up to 30 days in jail and fines ranging from $300-$3,000 and a license suspension for fifteen years. For example in 2012, an 18 year old, Aaron Deveau was texting while driving and the car he was driving crossed over into the center lane and hit an oncoming vehicle driven by a 55 year old male, which resulted in his death. This is just many of the documented fatalities that distracted driving causes and some would agree that there should be more severe consequences (McCarthy, 2015).

Having one's phone nearby leads the mind astray, and takes away from that ever so important focus. With the high speeds that are driven at today, one mistake leads to an accident. One mistake leads to serious injury and/or death in many cases. There are 3 different types of distractions present while driving: visual, manual, and cognitive distractions. Cell phone use is especially detrimental in this scenario because it embodies all 3. A phone takes your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your mind away from driving; a deadly trifecta. It is well known, why cellphones are a danger, and the effects they have had on roadway safety, now appropriate action must be taken to combat this crisis.

All things considered, we do not need to allow texting and driving bases on the evidence that has been shown here. Texting and driving causes more harm than good. We need to educate our young people and even our adults of the risk they are taking when they are texting and driving.

Another reason I think that drivers should be able use a cell phone while operating a vehicle is because, many people do follow the rules and not answer the phone and not text while driving but, what if it what an emergency that has occurred but, people don't want to answer the phone because they don't want to get caught

Overall my understanding would be that People should be able to use cell phones while driving, not many people would say it's safe but when it comes down to being responsible, I think people like that, that know how to manage their time on the phone and as cautious as could be , with a Bluetooth speaker in their car would be good source to use instead of having to pick up the phone and having to put it up to your ear in making it notice , but if you are as responsible as people who know how not to pick up a phone you should try using Bluetooth in your car for you can start using it.

People use their cell phones for just about everything such as: texting, talking, schedule planning, internet surfing, etc. Sometimes we can even do two or more of these things at the same time.

All states should have some sort of legal parameters of what happens when you get caught using your cell phone while driving. People should get a stronger/ harsher punishment for the use of a cellular device while driving. People are way more impaired when you are distracted and driving than you are drinking and driving. The problem with this is that so many people do it and it is so unbearable hearing so many stories of how many people die every year because they make the mistake.

In conclusion, Other drivers on the road take notice of drivers on their cell phones whether they want to or not because of the hazards they create. Erratic driving is something that we all get quite worked up about, especially if it makes us late or is otherwise a direct inconvenience to us.

Text messaging requires the driver's eyes off the road, studies show that teenagers are by far the biggest culprit of text messaging while driving. Making it dangerous for them and other drivers, since teens have the least amount of experience behind the wheel. In other cases many drivers keep their eye of the road to dial a number, this can have disastrous results for others and pedestrians. People don't realize that accidents can happen in a split second, in those few moments that your eyes are on a cell phone you moved far enough to not see a motorcycle, a pedestrian, or a vehicle braking suddenly in front of you.

Yet these bans did not stop people from using their cell phones. Fines and license suspension have been put in place. A fine for a first offense is $25, $50 for a second offense, $75 for a third offense. These fines can be as low as $20 and as high as $10,000 depending of the state. Jail time only for a misdemeanor charge, loss of license in some cases involving injuries. State laws should be more strict on these things, because drivers don't take these punishments serious. Punishments need to increase so that drivers can take it serious and will stop using cell phones.

A study found that hand-held phone can delay by 46%, sending a text slows it down by 37%. By comparison using cannabis slows it down by 21%, and drinking to the legal amount by 13%. An average time to reply to a text message is 4.6 seconds and while going 45-55 miles per hour that's enough to cover a soccer and football field. Studies show that a person of the age of 20 reaction time slows down while being on the phone is as equal as a 70 year old man.

"Distracted Drivers", which means they are doing something else while not paying attention to the road, is one of the main causes of the accidents. 27% percent of adults admit to texting while driving, according to esurance. com, 24% percent Of fatal car crashes are adults are aged 30 to 39 were also involved with cell phone use. What I'm referring to this information for is because adults are supposed to be, or at least traditionally the responsible ones. You would think that they would put the phone down but no they text and drive or even talk on the phone while driving. Which is putting their life at risk. If you are driving you are handling an over 40 ton machine which has a lot of speed on it, even for a truck. So when you add additional stuff like a text, which can wait until u get home or at a stop you'd rather, get yourself killed and most likely others. You're basically, if it's a fatal car crash then, killing yourself which is suicide. You're taking yourself away from your family which is not right.

Which is murder, and murder is really bad especially if you live the car crash and you are the one who was on their phone, YOU will be sentenced to life in prison or maybe even worse just because YOU couldn't put the phone down. According to edgarsnyder. com, 390,000 injuries occur each year, just from using cellular devices while driving. But this is the more disturbing fact, 11 teens are killed EVERY single day in the United States. That's a scary number and considering those are not just from people texting and driving but the innocent are killed. This is basically proof that cell phones are killing machines and should be inaccessible while operating a motor vehicle. Just imagine irresponsibly texting on your phone and not thinking of the safety of others. Then BOOM, you have just killed young boy or girl in their late teens driving home from a job or restaurant and whom may have had more people in their car. Then the person parents have to hear that their child was killed due to your irresponsibility. It's just really sickening and depressing.

Georgia passed the law on June 1st 2018. The fine will be 50$ and it will be doubled your second offense, according to USA Today's Article on the new founded law. Distracted driving is a main problem in today world. It has come to a certain point in today's America to where WE as a people need a law on not using our cellular devices. It should already be put in your mind after so many lives of young teens and adults' lives have been lost. But that's not good that you have to pay a fine and on top of that if you get caught in an accident, you will have to either be sued by the victim of the car crash or you will have to pay for expense on your car insurance. As an adult especially paying your bills and having to deal with a fine of $50. That is just unnecessary. According to CreditDonkey. com The average an adult spends money on groceries is $400. $400 is an absurd number for groceries, so just imagine getting sued and paying a fine and even on top of that paying car insurance. You my friend have just dug yourself in a huge hole that is going to take a while on.

To conclude, Using your cell phone is and should be banned and illegal. It is a hazard to others and should be taken with seriousness. You are not only putting yourself at risk but many others. Everyone knows that your phone is an addiction and it is just something we do off impulse but that is no excuse. Train your brain to say no and put the phone down. The text or phone call is not nearly as important as driving on the road is and I hope people will start to realize the importance of this topic and will consider it in their own lives, Will You?

You would be more focused on what's happening on your phone rather than what's going on in front of youon the road which could end up in you getting into a bad wreck and hurting yourself or even someone else. It would also end in you getting charged for it because you aren't allowed to have any distractions while driving. When you think og driving with phonesyou should only think of bad things because it never usually ends well if you are on the phone while also in control of a vehicle.

Over the past 4 decades cell phones have evolved extremely. Nowadays people use their phones for just about any and everything. Things such as texting, calling, playing games, booking appointments, even checking latest posts on social media and much more. Cell phones started to become a problem when people were just looking down at their phones while crossing the street. Something that could be fixed.

In conclusion I strongly disagree with texting and driving because it puts more than one person in danger. I feel as if you need to use your device while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle be mindful and pull to the side. Weather it's for making a quick call or sending a quick message even typing in a location into the GPS pull over because anything could happen in the blink of an eye.

Today, we use our cell phones for just about anything and everything to include; texting, talking to our loved ones, and connecting with the rest of the world via social media. Cell phones have become a natural way of life to where we pick up our phones and use them like second nature. However, the dangers present themselves when we get behind the wheel of a car and carry these habits of cell phone addictions with us

On the road, Americans hold their lives and the lives of other drivers at risk because they are anxious to check how many likes their picture got or what plans they have for that night.

Distracted driving is anything that takes your eyes or mental focus off the roadway. It can be as simple as sending a text message, answering a phone call, or reaching for something in the car. These are some of the distractions that we as Americans face on a day to day basis

For example, if a driver is going at a rate of 55 mph and decides to check a text message, in 5 seconds they can drive the length of a football field before regaining focus on the road (Marino, 2012, p1). In this situation, this distraction can be the difference between life and death. Talking on the phone may not seem like a distraction; however, in reality it is far more than that. With new technology development, newer cars are now equipped with hands free Bluetooth. In my opinion, car manufactures should continue innovate and develop operational equipment in cars to make the danger factor of talking on the phone while driving non-existent. Lastly, multi-tasking is a distraction that most of the time goes unnoticed. From putting on makeup, eating fast food, to searching for items in the car, these are daily tasks we do in the car without thinking about it. What we don't realize, is that we are still putting our lives and the lives of others at risk by trying to multi-task while driving. 93% of rear end collisions occurred because the driver of the following car removed their eyes from the road 3 seconds prior to the collision (Bagg, 2006).

Although many cities have passed distracted driving bans, there are some states that refuse to enact those laws to include Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, and Oklahoma. Opponents would agree that the more states banning distracted driving laws, the more safe our roadways would be (Albanesius, 2011). Distracted driving is a very serious offense and can carry severe sentences behind this madness. In some states, such as Massachusetts, distracted driver, which causes a death or injury can be charged with vehicular manslaughter which can be punishable up to 30 days in jail and fines ranging from $300-$3,000 and a license suspension for fifteen years. For example in 2012, an 18 year old, Aaron Deveau was texting while driving and the car he was driving crossed over into the center lane and hit an oncoming vehicle driven by a 55 year old male, which resulted in his death. This is just many of the documented fatalities that distracted driving causes and some would agree that there should be more severe consequences (McCarthy, 2015).

One way we can eliminate distracted driving is to install a no-texting app on your cell phone which can alert an incoming caller sending them an automated message saying, "Sorry I can't take your call right now, I'm driving" or an app that cuts teen's cell phone service while driving.

Cell phones: most people have one in this day and age. With this prolific use of cellular devices throughout the modern world, they can be observed in almost every aspect of daily life. Roadways are no exception, which is a problem for both those using phones, and drivers nearby who aren't on their phones. While most states in America have banned texting and driving, many still allow limited or hands free use of cell phones.

When driving, focus on the road and your surroundings is paramount. Having one's phone nearby leads the mind astray, and takes away from that ever so important focus. With the high speeds that are driven at today, one mistake leads to an accident. One mistake leads to serious injury and/or death in many cases. There are 3 different types of distractions present while driving: visual, manual, and cognitive distractions. Cell phone use is especially detrimental in this scenario because it embodies all 3. A phone takes your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your mind away from driving; a deadly trifecta. It is well known, why cellphones are a danger, and the effects they have had on roadway safety, now appropriate action must be taken to combat this crisis.
