Do you text while driving? Or be on your phone while driving? If so, you should know that your life is at risk. Taking a chance while driving to text might just cause you to go into another lane. Which has up the chances of a wreck. Remember to be safe at all times.

Driving while using your cellphone should be prohibited because of the lack of focus. People in our society are addicted to their cell phones, mostly millennials which makes them a problem on the road. A main focused reason millennials are likely to use their phone while driving is because of their lack of focus which causes them to feel that it is okay and important to look at their phones to see a text messages or answer a call that is not important, maybe even check social media. It is only okay to use your phone it you know it is an emergency, but when doing so to be safe pull over into a parking lot or just on the side of the road

This have been proven to be because of the lack of focus from the mind. Millennials text and drive mainly because of their lack of experience in life and thinking that their friends and phones calls are more important than themselves and others lives. Which can cause car accidents which will lead to higher insurance pay, going to court and being charged for what you may have done to the other driver and their vehicle. This may also cause to lack of focus witch puts innocent pedestrians life at risk because of you not paying attention.

Although phones shouldnt be used for a lot of things while in the car, this shouldnt expel them from being used in all forms in the car. Accidents may very well happen because of "text and drivers", so maybe they shouldn't text and drive.

Completely banning cell phones though? That seems to be a stretch. Personally speaking I've lived in Georgia for two years and I still need the GPS to get around. Who has the time or patience to carry a map of georgia and pull it up to read it at every stop sign?

The phones still can do alot of good while inside of vehicles. They can be used for emergencies. They can also be used for navigation. They even can just be used as a music player.

*BAM* A loud sound cracks across the intersection as if a bomb just went off but in reality, it was the sound of a SUV running into the back of a man on a scooter because the driver of the SUV was on their cellphone.

Everyone in the car and in other vehicles are prone of getting hurt when a mind-altering device steers you away from the concentration you should have while driving. So many lives are taken or altered because of the simple decision to send or reply to one text message. If precautions are heavily enforced before adults and teens especially enter the car, then maybe this epidemic can become obsolete. Fines are enforced but how well is the question? Phones are the biggest distraction when you enter a car by far so this doesn't completely forget about alcohol or trying to change the radio station but technology has become so advanced that we have voice text and on a star.

Technology has also clutched us with Bluetooth if you need to stay in communication just use Bluetooth and make a phone call instead which is completely easier than sending a text anyway because its faster and you can get responses much quicker than you could with a text message. Reality is one text or call could wreck it all.

Visual distractions are a nuisance A visual distraction is anything that takes your eyes off the road. While driving we are constantly being side tracked by signs and advertisements we see all over the place from the newest restaurants opening, to the $100 billion Powerball billboards on the highway, the last thing you need to be doing is trying to reply to a text while paying attention to all of these catchy signs. And lastly, manual distractions which are any distractors causing you to take your hands off the wheel such as reaching for your phone to send that quick text.

Over the past couple years 3,328 people were killed due to being distracted by their cell phone while driving. If teens just put their phone down and realize that life is more important than your phone, all of these deaths would decrease. I want people out there to think before they pick that phone up while driving. Is that phone call or text worth it?

In conclusion, teens really shouldn't drive and text. You may think that you are very experienced at driving but you're not. Take the time out and think to yourself, "Is my phone more important than your life or another person's life." How would you feel if you killed somebody because you were texting and driving?

If they drive you can pretty much tell if they are on them because, it will show they will sit at the stop light longer even after the light turns green and they drive slower. You have to remember to when you are driving like this it puts others at risk of kids if they are playing and you don't see them because you are on the phone it will put them at danger if you do something. A lot of drivers that do this don't think of it as a risk because it benefits them but it truly is because, its putting every one in danger including them because their attention is altered and the person in front of them may make a sudden change.

and I could see that because when they are on the phone they swerve and slow down and their attention isn't on the road at all. People who are texting while driving are 23% more likely to crash their cars. This percentage is equivalent to that of the average person who has drunk four beers and then began to operate a car which is scary because, I am on the road pretty much everyday and to know that these people are out there too is terrible. If phones are worse than drinking I feel that it should be illegal to be on your phone while driving because, it is illegal to drink and drive so this should be too.

In conclusion, I don't agree with being on your phone while driving is right and it should be banned. A lot of bad outcomes can come from a person being on their phone. It's very sad to think about what could happen. People have kids and still drive with them for example my cousin does it and it's sad that she can put her selfish needs to the side for one minute to focus on the road so her and her baby can get to where they need to go safely. My mom always says I think about myself and others which is good because I always analyze everything for everyone and I want everyone to be good so if I need to get off my phone for a few mins for a safer drive I am fine with that.

The zebra started a survey on people within the ages of 18-24 about texting while driving. Most of these respondents knew texting while driving was illegal. Would you believe me if I said that 36% of the respondents admitted to texting while driving. Out of the 36% of people who admitted it 51% of them admitted to being very aware that it was illegal. In 2018 4,637 people died in car crashes due to texting and driving.

There is no reason you should put your life at risk just to see a text. That one text could be the last thing you see. It's not even just your life at risk it's all the people on the road with you that lives are also at risk. Just think about it next time your driving and you get a text. Should you read it while driving. Think of all the lives your risking.

My Uncle used to operate his phone while driving, in result, one morning on his way to work, he was in a car accident. Thankfully nobody was hurt and the damage to his vehicle was reparable. You may think, that will never happen to me, well an accident can happen to anybody, any time, and anywhere. He could have seriously hurt himself or another person. Distracted driving is not a joke, and it should be taken seriously.

If the accident resulted in death, you're going to face jail time because that's considered manslaughter. If you just hit them, you're paying for their vehicle and medical bill, not to mention your insurance rate is going to skyrocket. Is all of that worth sending a quick text?

I believe cell phones have become an addiction. Many people can't live without them and are constantly on them. Cell phones have become more and more convenient and connected to the world. It can sometimes be hard to accept the fact that it is not a necessity to have on at all times. There are plenty of excuses that people often use. But there is bluetooth in many newer model cars, and bluetooth headsets, which is still no excuse.

Many people take advantage of those so called,"excuses". If you need to use the phone that badly, pull over and make the call. Don't risk the lives of others to call your best friend and tell her about your day. Being a distracted driver isn't okay and it isn't cool. Using a cell phone while driving is illegal in the state of Georgia, yet people do it anyways.

Cellphones have become extremely popular in the 20 years. In many ways they are a very helpful devices that provide worldwide communication and interaction. Though, they have also caused trouble in several ways as well. One of said ways is the severe amount of people who are distracted by them while driving.

Thankfully, more and more people are also realizing this anger will only grow if nothing is don't, so they helped to make changes. Here recently laws have been passed that make it illegal to be on your phone at all if you are driving a vehicle. Hopefully this will open more people's eyes to the severe danger we face every day without even realizing it.
