We are so interested in our cell phones, that we feel like everything we do, we have to have our phone with us. It's like now we can't live without the phone. So therefore, I don't think drivers should be able to use a cellphone while driving. You are putting your own life and others at risk when you pick up your cellphone while driving. Once you pick up the cellphone, you become distracted. Your focus isn't on the road anymore, it's on your cell phone. So you don't know what's in front of you. Also, you set a bad example for children when you use your phone while driving. They will get into a car and think it's okay to use their phone while driving. Then this big problem won't be stopped.

So maybe if we could put our phones down when driving, we might be able to put our phone down in other situations. It seems like today, our lives revolve around the phone. We feel like we need it doing everything, so maybe putting it down while we are driving will help us put it down more often.

You could simply hook up your phone to your car, to solve that problem. Even when just talking, you still have to answer and decline the phone. During that time you still have to look at your phone, and once again you become distracted. So talking on the phone while driving, is bad.

Everyday people die or get injured in car accidents because they use cell phones while driving. According to research cell phones are leading factors that cause accidents. Studies show that a cell phone can 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

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 imagine person who they're 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 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 of control, it is because of conversation and lack of reaction at the time.

Studies show that when talking to others on the phone, hands free devices or not creates dras5c injuries. Mobile phones are very convenient and in most ways have been a great addi5on to society but, i disagree with cell phones being used while driving. Because tex5ng while driving takes away a person's or the drivers a@en5on from the road and instead it keeps them focused on the text, or incoming call that person is trying to respond to.

Using a cell phone while driving leads to you injuring yourself and others who may be in the same vehicle your in. it's a terrible distrac5on. Once you take your eyes o? the road you may be in a really bad accident, which can cause your insurance to rise, and possibly (death). That's why it's important to keep an eye on the road, especially for those kinds of causes of not paying a@en5on to the road.

The most common thing people mistake multitasking for is repeatedly shifting focus on things, and that may work in any casual setting but in case of driving it can be fatal. With the average American highway speeds at 55MPH or 80.67 Feet per second, and according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it takes four and a half seconds and another 144 feet to stop a car going at going at 50MPH assuming that the driver attentive to the road ("Safety in Numbers"). Going off of this, that is 1.5 secs reaction time (1.5sec x 80.67ft per sec = 121 feet) plus the 144 feet is takes to stop the actual car, and that come to a total 265 feet to stop a car going 55mph, with a driver who is not distracted by on the phone. With a phone a that only adds another additional 1 if being generous, which adds another 80.67 feet and brings the amount of road that it takes to stop a car to 345.67 feet. In which the additional 80 feet could have spared a life, but now has taken or seriously injured one.

This shifting of attention is not even the full 100% attention. In the case of driving, no one never not wants 100% of their attention on the road while piloting a two-ton metal beast. According to the article Multitasking: Switching Cost by the American Psychology Association, "although switch costs may be relatively small, sometimes just a few tenths of a second per switch, they can add up to large amounts when people switch repeatedly back and forth between tasks". Going back to the previous paragraph, those couple feet in which a driver is not fully aware of the road around them is incredibly dangerous, and now adding other drivers also not fully aware, that's not a pretty sight.

All these deaths and injuries could have been easily prevented if the driver just put down their phones for a second and payed attention to the road. It is obvious at this point, that the people aren't meant to do more than one at a time, especially while operating a two ton metal beast.

For instance, let us look at my home State of Georgia. According to the Department of Driver Services, "Drives are allowed to use hands free devices (specific ones) and voice to text with hands free devices and allowed to use permanent mounted GPS, Drivers are allowed to make emergency calls and report hazardous road conditions" (Source: dds. georgia. gov). Further according to DDS Commissioner, Spencer R. Moore, "Georgia law currently prohibits all drivers, regardless of age, from using a wireless telecommunications devise to engage in writing, sending, or reading any text-based communication. Teen drivers under the age of 18 who possess either a learner's permit or a provisional license are prohibited from using a wireless telecommunications device for any reason, including voice communication, except in cases of emergency or if the care was lawfully parked" (p. 1)

Although cell phones have not been around for a very long time, they have become a key part of our lives. 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. Unfortunately, people are also choosing the wrong time to be using their cell phones: while they are driving. As 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

Scott Stone, veteran web business strategist and the owner of the consultancy Jimmy, says He came within inches of a bad accident because of a young driver being on the phone and crossing three lanes of traffic at 45 mph. Drivers are also tailgating you because of, again, the inability to maintain a constant speed because they are on the phone. Clark warns of the rusty red Camaro tailgating the minivan full of kids

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. Any one of us could have been that poor individual on that fateful day. I used to ride my bike everywhere, mostly using the roads in the way that bikes are supposed to

When the discussion is brought upon among the awareness of phones and driving, people get mad. They get frustrated in a manner that they feel the authority, police, and the people are in fact " doing too much". The vision that the people don't see is the value of their lives and the correlation between that idea and cellphones in use while operating a vehicle. Studies and different statistics have shown the causes of death from the use of cell phones while driving. Within this modern society, different policies and ordinances have been put into place to show the importance of abstaining from the use of cellphones in the vehicles

The authority and the government needs to make this social issue more aware to the public. The use of cellphones in our vehicles should be prohibited. Too much death and pain has been caused by devices like our cell phones. It is imperative that we make the people more aware on this issue. If we don't take this matter seriously, we will continue to see the negative impact confide within our communitie, nation, and world as a whole. There should be no more talking about the issue and whether or not it should be prohibited. The answer is at hand. Drivers should not be on their devices while operating a vehicle.

In the United States approximately 9 people are killed and over a thousand were injured in crashes because they were distracted. Cell phones are leading factors that cause accidents.

Might not be a major crash but it could ´ve been avoided. Should only be on your phone if you're parked.

People should have an hands-free set in the car it's safe because they can drive using two hands. Like in the state of Georgia it's illegal to hold your phone while driving even at a red light. The driver can't have the phone touching them while on the phone. It must be on a hands free setup. Hand free stands are helpful. Plus you don't have to worry about getting pulled over. And it somewhat helps the diver from getting distracted

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates 660,000 drivers use their cell phones daily while behind the wheel.

In 2017 alone there were 3,166 fatalities related to distracted driving (NHTSA). Even if you're lucky to survive an accident due to distracted driving, there is still a risk of major injuries. According to teensafe. com, "2.35 million people in the US are injured or disabled by car crashes every year. More than 330,000 of these crashes that cause severe injury are caused by texting and driving," (teensafe. com). This proves that phones have a key part in many accidents. They could've been typing a short response or reading a paragraph. The fact is that they were distracted instead of paying attention to the road. The NHTSA states, "sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed," (NHTSA). In conclusion, by cancelling out the use of phones/electronic devices while driving, the risk of injury/death is greatly reduced.

Anyone who has been in a car wreck knows how expensive it can be. Not to mention any medical bills, lawsuits, tickets/fines, etc. In Georgia just getting pulled over for texting and driving can cost you $150 and a point on your driver license (drivinglaws. org). Not to mention if you actually collide with another person and seriously injure them, you may face serious jail time. "If you are texting while driving and you kill someone, you can expect to be charged with vehicular homicide or manslaughter with an aggravating factor. The crime can potentially carry a penalty as high as any other manslaughter charge that arises from a gross indifference to the safety of others. It could be as high as 20 years in some circumstances," (drivinglaws. org). The consequences are just not worth it. Keeping your attention on the road and the other people around you is the only thing you should worry about while driving. In conclusion, texting and driving accidents when they aren't fatal can still get you into a lot of trouble.

Although texting and driving puts you at risk of fines, jail time, or even DEATH, there are other alternatives; like the "Hands-Free Driving" that persuades people into buying phone stands for their cars

With the phone stand, the phone is either at eye-level below the rear view mirror or down to the side either on your left or right. By simply moving the phone to a different angle, people think that it's simply going to reduce the risk of texting and driving. The "Old" way of texting and driving was to have the phone in a position where your eyes weren't even near the road, but now the "new and improved" texting and driving now has your peripherals as your safeguard from motor accidents. The main issue with "distracted driving" specifically texting and driving was not that your hands not being on the wheel was causing accidents; it was that people's eyes were on their phone screen instead of the road.

"Hands-Free" texting and driving only solves a minor part of a major problem. Before "Hands-Free '' texting and driving was more of a sharpened skill because of the task of averting your hand(s) and eyes to type a message all without running into oncoming traffic or running into anyone else. In short, "hands-free" isn't a safe alternative to texting and driving.

The prohibition of ANYONE using a cellular device while driving, for ANYTHING, will reduce the risk of distracted driving accidents, and the consequences of said accidents, (fines/fees, jail time, and even the ultimate price, life). In conclusion, people should continue to not be allowed to use a phone while driving, so put that phone down and focus on the road ahead. Rather have them wait for a response and make it safe than never make it at all.

More accidents in cars can be caused by texting. In my opinion, I hugely think it should be illegal. In the next paragraphs, I'm going to explain my reasons fully. Each of these reasons is the main reasons why it should be stopped. If we do control this, it could make fewer accidents happen.

Many people are dying because they get distracted. Mostly teens are dying from texting and driving. Crashes happen a lot from being on the phone. They happen more commonly than people think they do. These are common because everyone is big on technology. This texting and driving issue is a huge problem.

When crashes are caused by this, it causes damages around. Your car can be badly damaged after wrecking which is a lot of money. It could even cause damage to other buildings or other government places. Damages from wrecks can cause a lot of money expenses.

You could swerve and hit some other people. You can hit other cars injuring another person in the car. You can crash and injure someone in the car with you. When you crash you are most likely to hurt someone when crashing. People shouldn't have to worry about getting into a crash because of other people wanting to text.
