I think that most people would say that it was the others car fault, but we must be able to focus on only driving nothing else. Also, if you see a pedestrian you must be alert if they are crossing the road and do not slow down then it can cause you to hit them while texting. The pedestrian thought is that you would slow down so they can cross across the road so they will not be thinking about you still going forward.

Also, because if you behind a car and the other car hits the brakes but you will have no time to react on the brakes, but causes you to hit the other car but you will get the blame because you had enough time to push the brakes. I feel like if you are talking on the phone you might be concentrated on driving and talking but texting does not give enough time to look on your phone and driving with the other hand I feel like that is what can cause you to wreck.

Business issues can be dangerous while driving, because emotional reactions can end in a tragedy. The conversation that the driver is having might upset them, and lower their ability to drive, this can lead to an accident. So if people don't decide to put their cell phones away, they could take a lot of innocent lives.

Even headsets can be unsafe because it can distract the driver from the road. When the car swerves unexpectedly or a pedestrian is in the road, the mind lacks the amount of react time need to prevent an accident from happening. So the problem isn't holding the steering wheel and cell phone at the same time, but it's just the simple fact that the conversation and lack of reaction at that moment.

For example "say you're driving and texting and take your eyes off the road, Then Boom! You just killed yourself and someone else. I think that if we check phones when we stop the vehicle we can stop wrecks from happening. You should always keep your eyes on the road, because what if a big garbage truck runs into you because you weren't paying attention. So that's the reason you shouldn't text while driving.

If you need to handle something important on the phone you should pool over on the side. This will probably cause less car crashing and less people getting hurt. You can even cause an accident by just checking your phone for a quick second. A second is all you need to cause an accident. You are putting yourself and others in harmful situations.

As you can see driving while texting is very bad. It can cause a lot of damage to you and the other person in the other car. As you are looking at the effect and damage that phones and driving cause. We should improve it. To where people are not getting harmed on the road. When we pick up the phone we should think about the lives that will be lost. When you are driving your car for now let's try to make a goal to focus on the road. Let's change the world to save more lives.

Many people take chances and put other people's lives in danger by using their cellphones while driving. Numerous deaths and injuries occur from those driving and using cell phones simultaneously. Using cellphones while driving causes needless accidents. It is almost impossible to efficiently multitask. The harm and effects of the accidents and deaths are far reaching

In fact, some researchers suggest that multitasking can actually reduce productivity by as much as 40 percent (Teen). This means that someone operating a motor vehicle cannot operate the vehicle and use their phone at the same time without an accident happening or losing concentration of the road while trying it. In 2019, 36% of respondents (aged 18-24) admitted to texting while driving. Of those who admitted to texting while driving, 51%. In 2019, an individual that was operating a motor vehicle and also on their cellular device at the same time lost control of the wheel and as they were losing control of the wheel spun out, causing them to merge over into a lake and died because of drowning (McCartt AT, Oesch NJ, Williams AF, and Powell TC). Drivers are distracted, decreasing the driver's awareness on the road, leading to more car crashes which proves why multitasking is nearly impossible to do successfully and why it should not be done while driving.

In 2016, there was an incident that happened when a car rammed into the back of another vehicle (2016). The person whose car was hit was rushed to the hospital immediately. This person was paralyzed for the rest of his life. This man now struggles with seeing his kids because he has problems with mobility which prevents him from doing regular everyday activities that we take for granted.

In closing, Cell phone use while driving has become the leading cause of vehicle crashes over the last two decades. Using a cell phone while driving increases the driver's risk of causing a crash. Driving with a cell phone could cause injury or death. It has also been proven that an individual cannot successfully multitask while driving. Last, driving while using a cell phone harms others in ways that can permanently change their lives and affect the lives of their families.

the best way to do that is to keep our phones away keeping your phone is smart while driving because texting and driving is a big no-no in everyone else's eyes. The only reason why I think people need to follow this is because I've driven with people who have sat at the light because they were stuck on their phones and I had to tell them to drive so, to be honest, we need to limit ourselves to do it only when are stopped in traffic or we just parked up somewhere.

police are like enemies they protect the streets and I respect them for that but honestly, they should always be avoided I'm not saying avoid them at any means necessary but just keep seat belts on and don't text and drive that's the easiest way a cop will catch you so make sure to get wherever you need to go and just move on try not to get in any trouble.

Even though texting while driving is against the law people have invented apps and devices that allows you to use the phone without actually holding the phone in your hand they have phone holders and aux cables. Even if your not allowed to hold your phone while driving to change the music or change the call you can now use an aux or voice activated command like siri or alexa

you aren't able to reach your phone with your hand you can use voice activation to call the police or fire department. See most people don't take advantage of phone holders while driving because its an hasil to hook to the air vent but if it's going to keep me out of jail I would use one. So in the end cell phones should be allowed to be used in any capacity while operating any vehicle.

The first cell phone was released by motorola in 1983,it offered 30 minutes of talk time at the cost of approximately four thousand US dollars. When they released they sprouted over the world making technology better. From 1999 to 2008 the fatalities from distracted driving increased. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System(FARS) studied trends in cell phone use and texting volume contributed to the alarming rise in car accidents
