While driving, cell phones divert a driver's visual focus from the road to the screen of the mobile device which is very dangerous. The driver isn't able to see what's in front of them because their eyes are locked in on the screen of a cell phone which can possibly lead to a variety of negative outcomes. Texting while driving can lead to harm to health, government involvement, and vehicular harm.'

Cell phone usage itself has a very negative impact on the body's health due to the blue light it transmits. The blue light hurts the eyes and is extremely detrimental while texting and driving. A driver must have good eyesight so that they are aware of their surroundings but using cell phones/mobile devices while driving hinders that

Police officers have the ability to give a driver a citation/ticket for texting while driving. However, a significantly large number of drivers have found a loophole to evade getting a ticket and/or citation. They would not text and drive but instead they would have their cell phones in their hand but not actually text and drive. In order to counteract this loophole, some states have enforced a policy which states that a driver can be penalized for being in possession of a cell phone/mobile device when the vehicle is in motion. These policies are implemented so that no harm can occur due to cell phone usage while driving.

Texting while driving can lead to the quality of the vehicle declining due to any damage it may face such as a wreck. On the financial side, the vehicle's interest rate will most likely increase because texting while driving can lead to receiving tickets and/or citations that a driver potentially may receive. The vehicle itself is something that the driver should bring into consideration and not use their cell phone/device while driving so that no harm comes to the vehicle.

The concept of using cell phones/mobile devices while driving is one that needs to get rid of immediately. There are countless outcomes that result from cell phone usage while driving and all of them are negative ones which shows that it should be banned. The health risks are severe as well as the vehicular risks and the government has had to step in because of the realization that using cell phones while driving is a lose-lose situation no matter what.

According to EdgarSnyder. com the average amount of car crashes from using cell phones are about 1.6 million a year. The site also said that 94% of people support the ban for texting and driving. If drivers work on the road they are more likely to take phone calls or texts while driving, and that may result in a crash or an accident of some sort.

Being able to talk on the phone or texting while driving with more people adding everyday to work on the road the more people that work on the road the more likely there is to be an accident, and the more accidents, the higher fatality rate. People will quit their jobs to work on the road and make money, From July to September about 2.4% of people voluntarily quit their jobs. Of the 7 billion people in the world 2.4% quit their jobs and that rate will grow fast.

While being in the car and having your phone on you, you are responsible to know when it is an appropriate time to use it. If you are lost and need to find a way to get home, you can easily pull up maps and navigate yourself. If you need to use the phone to make a phone call in the car you should be able to, just appropriately and safely. Although, using your phone in the car while driving is very dangerous and can lead to an accident. It is still important that you have your phone on you on all times in case of an emergency and use it accordingly to time.

Texting and driving is not a safe option epically if you have others in the car with you. "Cell phones caused 26 percent of car accidents in the U.S. in 2014. Text messaging causes 5 percent of crashes" it is important that you know when to use your mobile device while on the road. You should be able to have your phone in your presence though, while driving. If something has gone wrong, you shouldn't be trapped without a phone on the side of the road, instead you should be able to use your phone in case of an emergency.

Phones can distract anyone anywhere at any time, that is why you should use it responsibly at the right time. While driving your phone should never be in your hands, instead it should be in your purse, glove department, etc, at least arms reach. A phone can distract you in and within seconds "BOOM" you hit a car, so it is important you use at an appropriate time.

and most of them end up with someone getting badly hurt or even dying. It is not fair to the other drivers for someone to be texting while driving and they get hurt because of someone else's wrongdoing. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. 1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving.

Being on the phone in the car can cause traffic violations. It can be dangerous to everyone around. They can be on their phone and they might not notice that they are speeding or running a red light, and that can end you up somewhere they do not want to be. It can cause death to them and other people around them on the road. Everyone also needs to be aware of when they use their phone on the road. They are putting not only their life in danger, but they are sharing the road with others. If they injure somebody or kill them. They can end up going to jail because they are always on their phone inside of the car. They have to realize that they are putting other people's lives at stake and it would be selfish to go ahead and not think about that.

Many people think they can multitask, which leads them to believe that they can text and drive. This is incredibly dangerous especially since it has been scientifically proven that it is impossible to multitask. "Trying more than one thing at a time - especially anything potentially dangerous, like texting while driving - seriously compromises our ability to complete the tasks safely and well. Equally important, repeatedly switching back and forth from project to project, like a hummingbird darting from flower to flower and then back to the original flower, can impair our ability to function at our finest."

This can be very dangerous because if you are distracted while driving you are most likely not driving safely. This can not only put yourself in danger but others as well. Even simply changing the song on your phone can put you in danger. While driving you should be completely focused on the task at hand, driving.

There have been countless news stories about people who were texting and driving and they got in an accident and died. We need to prevent this especially since a lot of those people were teens. Teens are especially at risk for this because we have a hard time putting the phone down in class let alone in the car.

Phones have multiple functions that benefit people's lives which have led them to believe it is a necessity in their everyday lives. Only this necessity to use phones at every second has consequences. While conducting a vehicle, people use phones whether it is at a stop sign or even while driving. This distraction can lead to car accidents, deaths, and unnecessary bills. Although the use of phones is beneficial at times it is to be used at the right time.

Texting and driving delays your reaction time as much as driving under the influence of alcohol. There are many other opportunities for you to be able to get in touch with someone if it is urgent. There is new technology that has been created such as handsfree technology. There is Bluetooth, that will connect your phone to your call to make hands free texts and calls, if needed.

The increase depends on many factors. Insurers follow the Insurance Services Offices standard of increasing a premium by twenty to forty percent of the insurer's base rate after an accident. If you avoid texting and driving you will not have to worry about your insurance going up, but you also you will not have to worry about your life or anyone in the passenger seat of your car.

In conclusion, I believe that you should not be able to use the cellphone while driving. There are many laws and reasons on why it should start being illegal everywhere. People just need to start thinking about their lives and the other people around them, when they start to make decisions. They should realize that there are consequence that come with our decisions.

In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in distraction-related crashes, about 424,000 people were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver and 10% of all drivers ages 15 to 19 involved in fatal accidents were reported to be distracted at the time of the crash. Distracted driving has had a huge impact on many young Impressionable drivers who are very prone to starting bad habits that may lead to accidents involving other drivers on the road. Phones should not be involved with driving because they are simply too distracting and there is clear evidence that supports it, many lives can be saved and avoid all the pointless pain and agony caused to the people involved.

The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year and texting while driving is 6x more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk.

Drivers are allowed to use their cell phones only if they are talking on the phone while the phone is on speaker. Drivers can talk on the phone through bluetooth headphones. Drivers can also talk on phones, leave a message, call someone, and more on bluetooth in cars that only have a bluetooth speaker in them. If drivers have a passenger sitting beside them, then they could ask them if they could text, call, leave a message, or anything else to that person they are trying to reach.

However, some drivers may still respond to a text message and that is why many of the accidents occurs and most of the time this lead to a vehicle accident that could lead to death. Drivers need to understand how easily it is to take someone life or themselves. Everyday people are risking their lives due to the high rate of cell phone use while operating a vehicle. Therefore, nowadays cell phones are unnecessary devices because they are a distraction to drivers while their on the road. Because of their conversation they might get upset and this could lower their driving ability that can lead them to lose control over the car. If people don't make the right decision and put their cell phone away while driving their routine could harm innocent people.

A lot of car brands use technology that connects people's phones to the vehicle's stereo system. In older vehicles models people can use bluetooth technology that allows people to use their phones hands free. By using this technology people are less distracted and more focused on driving. This can allow drivers to avoid accidents or life threatening events.

People are more likely to get involved in accidents, because their reactions will be too late. Drivers are also likely to miss flashing lights and risk their safety to maintain a safe position in a driving lane. Using phones also cause drivers to slow down on speed and cause accidents with those going on a constant speed.
