Many people believe drivers should not use cell phones during the operation of a motor vehicle but in my opinion, it is a necessary evil to a certain extent and you should proceed at your own risk.

For example, most cars from 2007 & up come with a hands free feature. You connect your smartphone to the car through Bluetooth or a USB and you don't got to pick up the phone due to the fact you can do most of the activities that you do on the phone, on your car through a series of buttons and knobs, hence the name of the feature. In addition, many extra accessories have been created to help, not stop the use of smartphones but control it instead.

I am a prime example of that, back then my dad would always tell me to put the phone down while I was driving, and I would be like "yeah yeah" sarcastically. Until finally one day I was driving home from school, and my favorite song played, so right after it ended I looked down for less than 10 seconds to replay it. Without noticing the car in front of me had stopped, I ended up rear ending her. It was nothing serious because I was going slow but still that little time I took to look at my phone could've cost me way more.

In my opinion, phones are an unavoidable problem nowadays. What I mean by that is yes they do cause accidents and they are a huge problem, but in this day and age almost everyone has a phone. Which makes the situation worsen due to the fact that we have become so accustomed to using our phones no matter the gravity of the situation.

Experts compare the use of a phone while driving to drinking while driving because of the amount of time the drivers eyes are off the road ,this can further visualize the threat a distracted driver can pose to pedestrians and other drivers . When texting while driving you are far more likely to be in an accident , be at fault for an accident both to another driver or pedestrian , and cause damage to community infrastructure. Also in psychological studies it has been proven that the human brain is not capable of functionally multitasking that along with how driving could already be a danger it simply does not result in anything positive over a simple distraction which could wait, something life cannot do .

In conclusion , as distracted driving becomes more and more common the hazards should be emphasized far more and the act alone should be prohibited . No good comes from the use of a phone while driving as doing so not only is the driver at high risk but so is all of their surroundings which includes other drivers and pedestrians. Distracted driving or texting while driving is the number one preventable cause of death in america that alone explains how big of a problem the use of cellphones and driving has become .Moving forward it is crucial for drivers to be engaged on the road and to know when the prompt time to use their cellphones is as it can be a distraction which could wait ,something in which life cannot do . The safety and well being of yourself and others is far more important than anything a phone can provide, solely for that reason the use of cell phones should be prohibited while operating any sort of vehicle

Studies show that a cell phone put drivers at a four time greater risk of a crush. Despite of a danger, people still use cell phones because they want to be always available and keep in touch with other people. Also, they think that hand-free set is safe because they can drive using two hands. Moreover, they use arguments that cell phones are necessary in emergency situations

Business issues can be stressful and dangerous while driving because it can cause emotional reactions that can lead to tragedy. Because of the conversation they might get upset and this can lower their driving ability that can lead to lose control over the car. So if people don't make a decision to put away their cell phones their routine can harm innocent people.

Researches show that using headset can be as dangerous as holding a phone because the conversations distracts drivers from focusing on the road. Scientists had proven that people talking over the phone image person who they talking to and that doesn't interfere with driving. The problem is when a car swerves unexpectedly or pedestrian step into traffic, and the mind lacks the processing power to react in time. So the problem isn't in holding the wheel and cell phone at the same time what may cause an accident because of lack man oeuvre, it is because of conversation and lack of reaction at the particularly time.

In conclusion, I think that mobile phones are indispensable tools that we cannot live without, but we should avoid abusing them. Therefore, we should think carefully about the advantages and drawbacks before purchasing a mobile phone, and ask ourselves why we need a mobile phone and whether we will be able to use it responsibly.

In just seconds from you looking away from the road everything can be gone and everything happens in just an instant. While driving people can get distracted by their phone while looking at a video or a message that just got sent. While it can be tinting to grab the phone and grab that call or look at that message you should really just let it wait. And if you think that it's important you can make a stop at a gas station or a public place and take the call or read the message.

Long, extended drives causes drivers to not be able to focus on where they're supposed to be going, also called highway hypnosis. Music allows drivers to focus better and keep them attentive. It also keeps drivers in a good mood which causes less stress and road rage.

GPS is safer than writing down directions or using a map. The driver doesn't have to look down at the phone either because most GPS services have a voice speaking out directions for them.

They don't have to put their phone up to their ear since there are other ways around it. Drivers could use the speaker option on their phone or Bluetooth. An emergency call could include calling the police for reckless drivers or crashes. Personal emergency calls include a wife going into labor or needing to take a detour to pick kids up from school.

Drivers should never text and drive, however there are still plausible uses for phones such as getting directions from GPS, listening to music as entertainment, and emergency phone calls for various reasons. Most reasons for phones are unnecessary especially with the technology provided in newer cars. If the driver has a car that has everything available, then their phone is not needed in their presence.
