The use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle is not the most intelligent thing a person can do. Anytime you are distracted you can be in an accident. If you enter into oncoming traffic you can be killed or kill another person. There are thousands of accidents every day involving the operation of cell phones while driving. Although many occupations require the use of cellular devices, there are laws restricting the use while the vehicle is in operation.

In the modern society, the average individual owns a cell phone. Millions of people everyday use their cellphones to make calls, send texts and emails, and check social media. Not everyone, however, know how to control their urge to check his or her notifications every few seconds. When on the road, this lack of attention has made texting and driving one of the number one driving related accidents in the country.

For teens, it's the fear of their parents anger that stops them from texting and driving. For adults, it's the thought of not being able to go to work, due to a totaled car. However, both groups face a similar enemy when it comes to texting a driving, the insurance. Unknown by most teens, every crash that is his or her fault will cause their insurance prices to rise phenomenally. Should this happen, the driver may not be able to pay for the insurance, resulting it a car that can't be driven. For working teens and adults, this is not an option.

This, however, can easily turn into a false statement. It only takes a moment of having ones eyes off of the road for things to turn sour. While a individual is looking down at his phone, a car could pull out in front of him without him realizing it. At high speeds a crash between the two cars could be deadly. No text or social media notification is worth the loss of a human life.

Instead, the brain switches between two actions, in this case it would be between texting and looking at the road. The same happens when individuals try to work on multiple projects at one. He or she will actually be switching between documents and slowly working on each. When driving, the eyes see progress in a text-to-text conversation as well as how far he or she has traveled on the road and assume that both were done at the same time.

What can we try to do to prevent people getting distracted by their phones while driving? The best way possible is to put your phone on silent mode, that way it will post pone all notifications until it is turned off. The second good way is to put it out of reach (glove box, trunk, etc.) that way you will have no tendency to grab it and look at for a distraction. We need to make the roads safe as possible

Sometimes others along with the driver behind the wheel may get hurt right along with the driver. In this case, there might be chargers put against the driver for endangering the youth and for driving while operating a phone. On the road there are pedestrians walking across the road to get to and from places. By a person using their phone while they are driving, it can endanger someone's life. It can either kill them or put them in critical condition to where they might be in that state for a while. In other cases, the person driving the car might have a child in the car with them. Overall, phones and driving is very dangerous.

There might be a time where the driver needs to reach their phone for an emergency. Cell phones also might have to be used as a GPS for some drivers. Cell phones don't have to be dangerous unless you make them dangerous as a driver.

To all the ones who still text and drive and constantly use their cellphone while driving are wrong. But the people who follow the law should get the privilege of using it at certain times while driving. For example, maybe at a red light or maybe to make a phone call when not many cars are around the road. But the ones who don't follow the law are making cell phone use while driving a terrible thing because of them abusing the use of their phone while driving. But there is safe ways to use your phone while driving, as I just stated the good should be privileged because they will follow the law of driving regardless and the bad ones will keep doing wrong.

Throughout many years, the toll taken on by drivers has increased greatly. New statistics show up every day as to why accident are occurring on the road. This leaves an increase in death rates as motor accidents can result in injury and death. Laws have been set in place to prevent these accidents; although, there is a change in the rate of accidents, people still decide to use cellphones. A change must occur in order to lower the rates of accidents caused by cell phone use. This could be the most known and dangerous reason as to why cell phones are a harmful distraction during driving.

Even if it's to receive a call or text, the problem is not the cell phone itself but ones conscience to obscure their focus from the road. As this is the reason as to why accidents happen in the first place. And as much as we want to reduce these accidents, we must take a priority on to our driving by ourselves setting a restriction as to when we can use our phones while driving.

However, this will not be an immediate change in our society as some will rebel against the new laws that should be placed to be stricter, but it is a step in the right direction and a good continuation in change the social standard of using cell phones while driving. And soon in time, we will see a change in our society all together.

In conclusion, my stance in the argument on cell phone use while drives stands where I have shown in this essay. I hope you can agree with me as to why I believe in the change this will bring to our society and change the rates in accidents making our cities, town, and roads safer for everyone. This change is a great feat that we can achieve as long as everyone is on the same page. Together we can relieve our worries of driving with care-free people driving beside us. We make our roads safer for everyone. The facts that I have stated in this essay are self-evident and require support from everyone in order to change our stands on cell phone use while driving.

Using cell phones while driving is a big problem because instead of paying attention to the road your paying attention to your phone and anything could happen . You could hit another car and injure someone , hit someone walking across the street and kill them or hurt yourself . And also it's dumb to text and drive or operate your phone while driving because if you get caught you get a ticket and if you accidentally harm someone because you were using the phone while driving you could face jail time

You should be able to use a phone while driving if you are already talking to someone before you pull off and your phone is not in your hand . You shouldn't be able to use your phone in your hand while driving because phones are a distraction from your driving and being focused on a phone instead of the ride could be very dangerous

In some states texting and driving is actually legal that's why people feel it is ok to do it . Most people think it is ok to glance or reply to a quick text but it only takes a second for something to happen because you looked away from the road . You are far more likely to get in an accident if you aren't on your phone or distracted by text messages or phone calls . I also believe people being hooked to social media is another reason they are on the phone while driving it isn't always texts and calls .

Even though using a phone and driving isn't the only way to get in an accident it could really be prevented and reduce the number of accidents per year . People are so hooked on electronics they don't even think about what can happen in the flash of an eye . Electronics are good for certain things like to stay in contact with family and friends and look up stuff on the entertainment but I think that they are taking over people's brain , they care too much about their phones and social media's . Using your phone while driving just isn't worth going to jail , having to pay a ticket or loosing your life or someone else loosing their

If everyone will just put their phone up when they drive, they could prevent one more car crash. Another way to prevent texting and driving is to purchase then apply a drive cam, which records a driver's activity while in the car. Another way is to get the AT&T app called AT&T drive mode that disables the person's phone while driving so they're unable to text and drive. Most if not all texting and driving accidents can be prevented before they happen.

If your phone doesn't have any storage you can go to the AT&T website, itcanwait. com, and take the pledge not to text and drive. Itcanwait. com is one of many websites that gives facts and statistics to try to prove to teenagers around the world to put their phone down while driving. No text is worth someone else's life. Not only does this one mistake destroy the life that was taken caused by the mistake it destroys the life of that person's family.

Not to mention the development of technology has been implemented on the teens of the 21st century, causing more people to find social connections through devices rather than interactions. The concern has become a negative impact to the point people are placing a person's well being, in the same comparison to one of a broken phone. The effect a device has is also impacting the mental well being of the youth, in a recent study found between the years of 2010-2015 the suicide rate on females rose to 65% while the depression rate rose by 58%. This addiction to phones has also been carried out into areas such as in cars.

The concern about using phones while driving impacts the lives of not only themselves but also puts the lives of others at risk. Cars have become more developed over the ages to cater the needs of those who need to call by installing a bluetooth, so drivers will not open and check their phone while driving. In the past driving was in the concern of "keeping your eye on the road" but as time went by so did the sensibility of driving.

Whatever reason, people have become more adapted to checking their phones while driving, thinking that 3 seconds of simply "checking" ,wouldn't change anything. The awareness of people driving and texting or using their phones is not impacting enough to the public. Teens are learning these bad habits and becoming accustomed to do such actions without thinking of the consequences. Thinking of how society is progressing, situations like teen accidents will not change unless the awareness of it is made more serious. In some states' they are taking the first actions to prevent accidents by adding in laws that prohibit phones to be in a driver's hand. There is nothing more serious than being able to impact someone's life by taking a brief moment to check your phone while on being in the driver seat.

In conclusion, driving is a serious matter that should be taken seriously and not as a joke. There is no greater good than taking the moment to concentrate on what is in front of you rather than what is next to you. Take caution in driving and keep both hands on the wheel to prevent anymore suffering and any harmful casualties from devices.

These accidents happened because they wouldn't pay attention to the road because that text was so important to them and now somebody has either died or ended up in the hospital because of them. Each year a child under the age of 18 has died because of a car accident because of texting and driving.

90% of the day somebody is driving with their phones in their hands. When you drive your main focus should be on the road and not on your cell phone.

Phones are like addictions because if you haven't had your phone in your hand all day you feel lost which isn't good. If you can't take 10 minutes out the day to pay attention to the road when you get behind the wheel then you shouldn't be driving. When someone is on their phone while driving they claim they were on checking and email or answering a call and sometimes that isn't true they were texting and driving and not paying attention to the road.
