80373BDFB665 | 1,623,091,614,377 | 353 | 466 | According to sources, in 2011 out of 1.3 million car crashes, at least 23% of those crashes involve cell phones. | Claim | Claim 1 | 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 |
80373BDFB665 | 1,623,091,619,965 | 466 | 976 | A lot of these drivers reported that they were texting and driving during the time of the accident. The rest reported to have been talking on the phone. Majority of the vehicles that were involved were light trucks and motorcycles. More than 3/4 of drivers said they would likely answer calls while driving and rarely consider traffic situations when deciding to use a cell phone. Most drivers said they would answer a call or text while driving but would feel unsafe as a passenger if the driver was texting.

80373BDFB665 | 1,623,091,643,238 | 1,601 | 1,770 | For instance, statistics are stating that gender and age play a huge role in these accidents. Statistics state that females use their phone while driving more than men. | Claim | Claim 2 | 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 |

80373BDFB665 | 1,623,091,656,679 | 1,857 | 2,167 | But according to the data ages 30-39 year olds are the main source of the deaths and drivers ages 15 - 19 had the highest percentage of distracted drivers - 16% of those involved in accidents were distracted. The percentage of fatalities linked to distracted drivers increased from 10% in 2005 to 16% in 2009. | Rebuttal | Rebuttal 1 | 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 |

80373BDFB665 | 1,623,091,675,637 | 2,247 | 2,735 | No state bans all cellphone use for all drivers, but 39 states and D.C. ban all cell phone use by novice drivers, and 20 states and D.C. prohibit it for school bus drivers.
Washington was the first state to pass a texting ban in 2007. Currently, 48 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands ban text messaging for all drivers. All but three have primary enforcement. Of the two states without an all-driver texting ban, one prohibits text messaging by novice drivers.

In conclusion, texting and driving is not safe at all. It takes away people that are not deserving of the pain that they're receiving. Laws and regulations have been set to try and help lower the deaths caused by using cell phones and driving. Life would go much smoother if people just listened and played their part. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516 517 518 519 520 521 522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531 532 533 534 535 536 |

0161419B4ED0 | 1,622,640,853,665 | 495 | 934 | The average text sent takes the drivers eyes off the road for about 5 seconds and that's enough time to get into a life threatening accident according to SafeWise. com. These deaths hurt people mentally and physically and usually cause depression due to the fact that they lost a loved one to a foolish person. Some people don't even pay attention to the rules put in to place by the law and are seen constantly on the phone with someone.

0161419B4ED0 | 1,622,640,804,845 | 935 | 1,700 | These people deserve to get their license suspended and maybe even revoked because these people have no empathy for people who actually want to make it to their destination safely. The phone calls and text messages can wait because they aren't worth someone's life and it sure isn't worth going to jail for. Just wait until you reach you reach your destination to do these things. Keep this nonsense of the roads. The roads were meant for you to drive on not to text on. I think we should have some type of scanner to see if there are any active phones in use and if there are police or some type of authority should be alerted. This should bring down the amount of deaths caused by texting and driving. This is also another way to prevent texting while driving. | Evidence | Evidence 3 | 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 |
518650734A2D | 1,622,484,959,090 | 20 | 627 | Although cell phones have not been around for a very long time, they have become a key part of our lives. 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. Unfortunately, people are also choosing the wrong time to be using their cell phones: while they are driving. As a society, we have become so focused on how much we can do at one time that we are willing to risk our personal safety as well as the safety of others because we can't put down our cell phones. | Lead | Lead 1 | 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 |
518650734A2D | 1,622,484,964,623 | 628 | 737 | Using a handheld cell phone while driving is dangerous to the driver themselves for a couple of good reasons. | Position | Position 1 | 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 |
518650734A2D | 1,622,484,971,934 | 738 | 854 | Several researchers have proved that using cell phones during driving makes driver more exposed to fatal accidents. | Claim | Claim 1 | 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 |
518650734A2D | 1,622,485,012,037 | 854 | 1,694 | Focus of the driver is not on the road or traffic and it becomes difficult to handle phone and vehicle at one time. Cell phones during driving also reduce the mental capacity of drivers as they fail to concentrate on minor or major activities happening around them. As already discussed, cell phones distract drivers' attention resulting in comparatively slow response to traffic signals and other related traffic events. Studies have shown the fact that breaking reaction time is also slower while talking on a cell phone during driving. The perception, vision, general awareness, and concentration of the driver are impacted while communicating on a cell phone during driving. Especially during bad weather or driving on slippery roads, drivers engage in conversation pay less attention to these areas increasing risks of fatal accidents. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 |

E478A1EEF2DC | 1,622,470,691,429 | 299 | 388 | There are many distractions that happen while driving and on your cellphone for instance | Claim | Claim 1 | 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 |
E478A1EEF2DC | 1,622,470,714,128 | 389 | 1,029 | sending a quick message it doesn't take long right? According to a Virginia department of transportation website, it takes 3 seconds to have a car crash and fatally injure you or someone else, or even result in death. Although eating and driving is dangerous, studies from the Decide to Drive website showed that it's a lot safer to eat while driving then trying to operate your cellphone. Another distraction is talking on the phone with people. Some people can't multitask and risk their life to call/text someone. Trying to use social media such as snapchat while driving is extremely dangerous and a distraction we should try to avoid. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 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 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 |

E478A1EEF2DC | 1,622,470,754,593 | 1,380 | 1,703 | In conclusion, I recommend not operating your cellphone behind the wheel. It will make the road safer, and result in a decrease of deaths and injuries. Don't risk your life to send just a quick message or make a quick phone call, drivers should focus on the road and nothing more. Let's be safer and put the phones down. | Concluding Statement | Concluding Statement 1 | 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 |

51F05D3678EA | 1,622,497,301,588 | 629 | 821 | Car accident can cause server injuries and sometimes death, so if you want to prevent these accidents from happening you should try to focus on the road and stay off your phone while driving. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 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 |
51F05D3678EA | 1,622,497,418,913 | 822 | 1,225 | I think if you're going to be on your phone you need to be at a stopping point like at a red light or parked somewhere. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving. 1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 |
51F05D3678EA | 1,622,497,403,098 | 1,226 | 1,340 | So if people stop phone usage while in an operating vehicle the death and injury rate would go down tremendously. | Claim | Claim 3 | 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 |
51F05D3678EA | 1,622,497,122,168 | 1,341 | 2,148 | Once when I was 12 years old I experience my first car accident.
I was in the car with my cousin and we were headed to my grandmother's house for a cook out. We were all joking around in the car while playing loud music. I forgot to mention that my youngest siblings were also in the car with me. My big cousin started texting her friends while she was driving not paying attention to the road that much only looking up every once in a while and like 5 minutes later she was approaching a red light not noticing she didn't slow the car down. Next thing you know we bump into the car in front of us and creating an accident. That's the reason why I don't agree with allowing to have a phone while being in a car driving especially with other people in the car that could cause an injury and possibly death.

If there's someone in the car with you you can tell them what you want them to say on the text message or in a call so you don't have to get distracted while driving. Some cars are actually able to hook their phone up to their car so they can answer the phone while driving and still be cautious on the road. | Evidence | Evidence 4 | 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 |

4CD7E8A7BA22 | 1,622,732,888,203 | 33 | 219 | Are cell phones a necessity while driving? They do account for a lot of distracted driving accidents leading to serious injuries and fatalities. So, the real question is, is it worth it? | Lead | Lead 1 | 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 |

4CD7E8A7BA22 | 1,622,732,907,929 | 371 | 1,078 | I want to cover the most important reasons. First, distracted driving, specifically with phones leads to drivers being 57% more likely to be in an accident. That's more than half likely to potentially be in harms ways than before if you just simply put your phone down. Statistics also show that using your phone while driving decreases brain activity, focus, and depth perception by 37%, which are all necessary factors required to drive safely. Many people lose their lives, and risk others lives due to cell phone activity such as texting, playing music, phone calls, and more. This could be your life, or your sons or your daughters or anyone you love. All it takes its to put your phone down and wait! | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 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 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 |

4CD7E8A7BA22 | 1,622,732,917,511 | 1,142 | 1,667 | Teens are 79% more likely to pick up their phone or any device while driving, then adults. The number 1 cause of teen deaths are motor vehicle accidents, majority caused by distracted driving. Phones being the primary source of these distractions cause horrific fatalities. Parents and guardians should strongly advise their children not to drive with their phone on, authority figures such as government officials, should ban any use of devices such as cell phones, to prevent as many accidents as possible, and save lives. | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 |

64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,336,378 | 20 | 618 | Our society's reliance on technology has increased significantly in the past few decades.
Mobile phones were once brick-like impractical devices. Since then, they have evolved into sleek mini computers. Now that phones are more portable, people tend to take their cell with them everywhere, including on the road. With the heavy reliance our society has created around these devices, it is, understandably, difficult to resist using them. For this very reason, cell phones pose a great risk to driver's. The distraction imposed by smartphones can be just as harmful as driving under the influence. | Lead | Lead 1 | 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 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,346,864 | 619 | 763 | Using cell phones at all while driving should absolutely not be allowed. Any amount of attention diverted from the road is incredibly dangerous. | Position | Position 1 | 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 |

Some of the most fatal accidents have occured, not because of intoxication, but as a result of texting and driving. | Claim | Claim 1 | 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,375,388 | 881 | 1,740 | In 2018, 4,637 people died in car crashes due to cell phone use (The Zebra). That is 4,637 lives that could have been spared if it weren't for the recklessness of irresponsible drivers. In 2002, 62% of people owned regular cell phones, while today, in 2019, about 95% of americans own cell phones. 77% of these modern cell phones owners have smartphones, which can be even more distracting (Pew Research Center). In that time, car accidents caused by cell phone distraction has increased from 6% to 25% of all car accidents (Schlossberg 2002, Miller & Zois 2019). There is a clear correlation between the increased reliance of cell phones and distracted driving accidents. The irresponsible actions of these drivers is causing increased danger on our roads. Leniency cannot be accepted. The law should have absolutely no tolerance for this hazardous driving. | Evidence | Evidence 1 | 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 |

64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,742,931 | 1,861 | 2,060 | According to an NPR article on multitasking, when you are "Switching from task to task, you think you're actually paying attention to everything around you at the same time. But you're actually not | Counterclaim | Counterclaim 1 | 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 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,753,258 | 2,061 | 2,166 | You're not paying attention to one or two things simultaneously, but switching between them very rapidly" | Rebuttal | Rebuttal 1 | 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,482,487 | 2,178 | 2,591 | The article later goes on to state, "You cannot focus on one while doing the other. That's because of what's called interference between the two tasks." Based off of this information, it can be inferred the concept of interference is also applicable to using a smartphone while driving. If a driver is busy paying attention to their screen, there is no way they could also be paying close attention to the road. | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 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 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,558,612 | 2,592 | 2,701 | Even five seconds of being distracted by a cell phone can be enough time for someone to get into an accident | Claim | Claim 3 | 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,636,522 | 2,702 | 3,458 | One personal injury lawyer states, "A single text results in an average distraction of 5 seconds, during which time a car going 55 mph will travel the length of a football field" (Miller & Zois). A range this large in a such a short time span conveys how much potential there is for injury when behaving so carelessly. Anyone who may claim it is safe for them to go on their phone while operating a vehicle because they are a master at multitasking is simply overconfident in their abilities. The truth is, it would be impossible for anyone to drive safely while distracted.
With lives at risk, texting and driving should be out of the question. Not only would such negligence put one's own physical well being at risk, but all those around them as well. | Evidence | Evidence 3 | 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516 517 518 519 520 521 522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531 532 533 534 535 536 537 538 539 540 541 542 543 544 545 546 547 548 549 550 551 552 553 554 555 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 566 567 568 569 570 571 572 573 574 575 576 577 578 579 |
64F7C12F6811 | 1,623,086,646,976 | 3,459 | 3,915 | Thousands of deaths could be prevented each year if everyone were to simply put their phone down while driving. No notification, song, or post is worth compromising the safety of the general public. Ensuring others' security should be a priority for all americans. When one fourth of car accidents involve cell phones, there is a serious problem. Complete focus and concentration on the road while driving should just be common sense. Keep the phone down.

E2EFE0909FA9 | 1,622,482,555,199 | 400 | 515 | Texting and driving should be illegal because the crash rates of using a mobile phone while driving almost triple. | Position | Position 1 | 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 |
E2EFE0909FA9 | 1,622,482,571,551 | 516 | 700 | People consider drunk driving to be more dangerous than texting while driving.

E2EFE0909FA9 | 1,622,482,579,320 | 700 | 978 | It is said that in 2018 the safest way to use a cell phone while driving would be to attach it to the radio system or another suitable hands-free device via Bluetooth. Using the microphone on a phone while driving is illegal, even if it is not actually being held by the driver. | Evidence | Evidence 2 | 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 |

Even though using a cell phone in a vehicle via Bluetooth is safer than holding the phone, it isn't completely safe. | Claim | Claim 3 | 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 |
E2EFE0909FA9 | 1,622,482,616,552 | 1,097 | 1,463 | While the distraction is smaller using the microphone could still cause an accident and the driver would take responsibility in court. Its suggested that a person should just simply postpone calls until you arrived at where ever your destination was. The statistics show that younger drivers are four times more likely to cause a road accident due to using a phone. | Evidence | Evidence 3 | 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 |

E2EFE0909FA9 | 1,622,482,658,221 | 1,621 | 2,007 | People even ignore new implemented laws that have been put in place to ban using phones while driving. It is suggested that parents should also avoid calling their teens while he or she is driving. Instead ask to be called before leaving and after arriving at the destinations. Teens may always feel compelled to answer a parent call if received and that could be a big issue. | Evidence | Evidence 4 | 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 |
