Many people drive while using their cellular devices and it causes problems for many people. It is illegal in some states and some in not but even in the illegal states people still do it knowing they could cause damage to someone or themselves or even pay a fine. It should be illegal anywhere so people can think about whether or not they want to get a ticket. People should stop to think that they may make someone's day worse. People should just stop using their phones while driving in general but not everyone chooses to do it.

No one likes to pay a large amount of money for anything, so why put yourself and others in danger with a devicein your hand? The paym ent of an accident is alr eady high enough and the car insurance payment might also be high (depending on what carinsuranceyou have). And say if you don't havecar insurance? Guess your car is getting towed. NO! Stay off your phone and pay attention.

Primarily, as the number of people using cell phones while driving will also increase on streets and highways. At the same time rate, drivers still talk on cell phones and send text messages while driving. They will also engaging in other activities apart from driving. For example, drives will text when driving, and they will dial numbers. Drivers will also receive calls and talk on their devices for long periods of time. Again, driving demands your full attention, and your concentration which is taken away when talking on the phone

A young woman killed a pedestrian on a bicycle while she was texting on her phone. She may not have intended to end that person's life, but she made the poor decision to drive and text which she has to live with for the rest of her life. 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. Ad 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. This puts both drivers and even pedestrians in harm's way.

Phones in cars have been a problem ever since they were first introduced in 1946. Over 1.6 million people die each year from texting and driving. Texting while driving, or touching your phone at all, is now completely illegal in Georgia. This helps the death rate each year go down, but many people in Georgia still use their phones while driving. In addition to this many states, other than Georgia, don't outlaw texting and driving

I think cell phones should be banned while driving. In the society now cell phones are very popular. People have a habit of texting while they are driving. Texting while driving is very dangerous because you don't know may happen. You may have a car wreck, lose concentration, run off the road,etc. Cell phones have many disadvantages when texting while driving somewhere

Majority of the people will continue to do it even if they ban cell phones while driving. Some people don't see nothing wrong with texting while driving.

Most people spend most of their time riding on the outside the white line. So therefore doing that activity is very harmful to the whole population. All states should make it against the law to use cell phones while driving. Some people may think they can text while they are driving and not think that it is very dangerous. However, people have to learn from their own mistakes for them to learn.

People don't seem to notice how careless they could be while their driving. You don't necessarily have to be texting someone. For example you could be taking pictures, doing something to your radio, watching a video, etc. That's why I think using cell phones while driving should be against the law.

In conclusion, texting while driving is one of the biggest problems in the world. I think people should leave their phone alone while driving. However, you should pay more attention to driving instead of being on your phone. Where I live it is a 50 dollar law. That's why I think it should become a law all over the United States.

Texting and driving puts all the drivers sharing the road with you at risk, too, because you are unable to navigate the road while looking down at the phone in your lap. Texting or on the phone while driving can be annoying to other motorist while driving also when you are swerving into other lanes. When you start to move outside of it, you start to risk hitting something, or someone. Most drivers who use their phone while driving put themselves and other people who are driving at risk of being in deadly car crashes.

People use their phones for just about everything such as texting, talking,and the internet. Sometimes we can even do two or more of these things at the same time. But you cannot do these while driving. You can kill someone if you're not focused on the road. we have become 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 phones.

Even the act of just dialing a cell phone can be dangerous. This increases the crash risk by 3 times. This is one of the worst distractions drivers can have, Due to the fact that you are not paying attention to the road. The driver's hands are not on the steering wheel which causes you to lose control of your car. This increases the accident risk highly. This is only one reason why cell phone use while driving should be illegal.

This causes the same problems as just dialing a cell phone. Drivers are too busy focused on their screen to pay attention to the road. They are also too busy thinking about their responses and what to say to pay attention to other drivers on the road. Since it usually takes two hands to text, the drivers have no hands on the steering wheel. This distraction causes the most fatalities. This is according to a sign over I-355, which states, "857 traffic accidents caused last year due to texting. This is just another reason cell phone use while driving should be illegal.

even though those have been shown not to eliminate the risk of getting into an accident. "Device makers and auto companies acknowledge the risks of multitasking behind the wheel, but they aggressively develop and market gadgets that cause distractions. They acknowledge these things happen but they still market things that will cause distractions and increase accident risk.

Cell Phone use should be illegal while driving. The worst are texting and talking on the cellphone while driving. Both inhibit driver awareness and increase the risk of getting into an accident. Hands free devices do not eliminate the risk of getting into an accident; it's a horribly common misconception. Cell phone distractions on the road cause accidents. If Illinois outlawed cell phone use, more people's lives would be saved.

that may seem like a small number, but those crashes caused at least $129 billion or 15% of over all societal damage. Driving while on the phone is and should stay illegal it'll cause less death every year and accidents in general, god knows we need to stop having manmade disasters. I feel as if they need to make the law stricter though so people actually learn to stop texting and driving, put them in jail for 5 days or something like that it will for sure make them never want to text and drive again.

Today, the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis. Cell Phones are objects that people carry around with them no matter what and they use them for various reasons. A few of those reasons is calling, texting, listening to music, playing games/downloading games, watching videos from YouTube to movies, and etc... Cell Phones also are resourceful in helping you get to places because cell phones have GPS to help people get where they need to go. Even though cell phones are useful in so many ways, people use them while driving and that is dangerous for the driver and for the passengers in the car, if there are any, but also for the pedestrians outside on the street and fro other drivers.

One exception, even though it is still dangerous, that you can look at your phone for not too long is if you are using your GPS to help you get to your destination. On everyone's phone there is a GPS app and a lot of people use that to their advantage to help them get to where they want to be if they have never been there before or even the opposite if they are somewhere that they have never been before they can use their GPS to help them guide them back home.

Furthermore, using your GPS while driving is still dangerous because you are taking your eyes off of the road, even if it is only for a few seconds, it is still dangerous even though your using your GPS to help you out to get to your destination. Ultimately, using your phone while operating a vehicle is dangerous even if you are using your GPS to your benefit to help you out, it is still dangerous.

In conclusion, texting while driving or just looking at your phone in general is dangerous for not only you and the passengers in car but also for the people outside of the car and for the other drivers. Phones are useful for so many things like downloading games or watching videos but drivers should not be able to use that phone in any capacity. So many deaths have occurred because people have looked at their phone while driving but the age group that uses their phone and look at their phone while driving are teens because they want to text a friend or check on their social media; one exception, even though it is still dangerous, is using the GPS on your phone to help you get to your destination. To summarize, drivers should not be able to use their phones while operating a vehicle.
