Today, the majority of people own and operate cell phones and many of those people also drive on a daily basis. Drivers should keep their attention on the road to minimize distractions and avoid car accidents. With that being said, we know that cell phones have become very distracting because it occupies one's eye and takes their attention when what they should be focused on the road.

As a teenager, most of us feel that one of the best things we can ever do is get our driver's license. At the time all we're thinking about is "Yes, I can finally drive." We instantly get on our electronic devices and start taking pictures and sharing on social media so the whole world knows what we just accomplished.

As I was doing my research, I came across a lawyer's website that said teen drivers are 4 times more likely than adults to get into car crashes or near-crashes when talking or texting on a cell phone. This was very alarming to me but I can easily see how that's possible. I feel strongly about this because anything you need to do on your electronic device, you can do before the vehicle starts.

If you feel like it is that important to make a phone call or send a text, the best thing you can do is pull over to the side of the road and take care of it. The other option would be to link your phone to your car so that you can practice the hands-free options. This will include allowing you the ability to stream music, answer phone calls, asking for directions, and etc. You will also find that most cars have voice activated calling and some can even read your text messages through the car.

Being a part of the generation we are in allows us more opportunities because of our advanced technology. But this it is not always a good thing. Some phone companies can detect when a car isn't moving and will automatically send calls to voicemail or send text messages to let others know that person is unavailable at the moment. Cell phones should not in any way be utilized while driving because it's one of the easiest ways to jeopardizes one's life and their well-being. I think that technology will keep us safer but making good decisions will keep us safer.

However, many States have rightfully stopped local governments from prohibiting cell phone use by motorist, and they have enforced strict rules to control their usage. For example, driving a state vehicle a person can be terminated if caught texting and talking on a cell phone. The National Safety Council also estimates that in a recent year, 21% of vehicular crashes (1,100,000) involved talking on either a handheld or hands free cell phone. About 6,000 deaths and a half a million injuries are caused by distracted drivers every year.

All states should have some sort of legal parameters of what happens when you get caught using your cell phone while driving. Drinking while driving laws are much harsher than distracted driving. The Arizona state laws states: " if you are under the age of 21 any trace of alcohol, illegal drugs or drugs that impair your ability to drive safely will result in stiff penalties and your license will be suspended for two years." As you can see the laws have bigger consequences.

a good alternative to prevent cell phone distraction would be to put the phone in the glove compartment. Relevant phone messages can always be retrieved after you arrive at your destination. some people might say that banning cell phone usage while driving is similar to banning a person from tuning the radio or lighting a cigarette while driving. Tuning the radio or lighting a cigarette does not require deep concentration for most people.

Although cell phones have been in this world for a while they have made their way into our daily lives, we use them for just about everything like texting, schedule planning, internet surfing, etc. Sometimes we can multitask while being on it. Unfortunately, people are also choosing the wrong times to multi task: while they're driving. As a nation, we have become so focused on how much we can do do at one time that we are literally putting our life on the line, all because we can't put down our cell phones

To sum up, phones and driving don't go well together. For it has caused too much unfortunate accidents and damage for us and can do more in the future. If the situation can't wait, you can always stop and look for a place to park so you can return the call or text. As for hands-free devices, they can be useful but just wait for the appropriate time to handle it, for it can be inconvenient at the time. Smartphones use should be taken to consideration for people have been abusing the use of this for too long. It may be as inaccessible, but if taken into thought the lives that would be saved this is a worthy sacrifice. There won't be a loss of nearly as numerous juvenile lives to talk or texts if they know their permission could be taken if they chose to continue this act.

About 1 in 4 car crashes are caused by texting and driving this means about 1.6 million car crashes a year caused by cell phones that's way too much in my opinion the laws that are being passed around this time about new phone laws while driving are 100 percent fine with me that will hopefully help the numbers decline a little bit.

But also I slightly feel that at times it is okay to text and drive as long as you're not going over 15 miles an hour and is repeatedly looking up at the road while typing. It honestly just depends on the person behind the wheel, whether their good, bad, or smart about it. But in all reality I wouldn't text and drive be the smarter person and wait until you're at your destination or pull over if it's an emergency.

There's plenty of ways to counter you from being tempted to text and drive, on some phones you can set it automatically to while you're driving if you receive a text it automatically sends one back saying "Can't talk now, driving." In my opinion that is a very useful thing to have to help keep you, and others safe. But always remember to use common since and take all precautions while behind the wheel.

"Resources show that according to The National Safety Council that 1.2 million car crashes in 2013 involved drivers talking on the phone and at least 341,000 involved in text messaging." Also talking on the phone while driving is becoming more and more life threatening when multitasking behind the wheel of an operated vehicle.

I truly believe that using a phone while driving shouldn't be allowed, because for safety the driver needs to be more cautious for their life and the other person who is in another car that the driver who wants to be on the phone while driving comes in impact with all because they refuse to wait until they get to the destination that they are going. I know some opponents whose work is literally dependent on the use of a cell phone every single day such as people like lawyers entrepreneur's and business men believe that they have to always be available to answer the phone at all cost just to make sure their business or cast is still running smoothly.

Some people believe that using a phone while driving isn't the reason wrecks happened. Some say the cause comes from people who get too into whatever they're looking at or they get too occupied with the conversation with the other person that's on the other end of the phone. Which makes them take their attention of the road which leads to people not seeing a vehicle pulling out in front of them and then they rear end each other.

because of the higher risk of impact on a person's car from not paying any attention to the stoplights, stop signs, speed limits, or the caution lights between a four way stop. In my opinion I believe that some people could use their phone while driving and still have their focus on the roads and cars beside them or in front of them and don't cause any wrecks, but then again I still believe phones shouldn't be used while driving just for safe benefits.

People who don't use a phone while operating a vehicle have a greater change of living than a person who is paying no attention to the road and cars near them because their focus is on their phone. You're most likely to survive when you're worried about your phone and getting into wrecks because your man focus is on the roads and cars next to and in front of you.

How some people believe that texting and driving needs to be closely monitored because of the risk it involves.

It is easily possible for your eyes to slip off the road. Therefore, instead of your eyes locking in on your phone they should be locked on watching your speed, the road and the traffic. At the same time, while driving your mind can only process so much. In addition, your minds need to focus on one thing while driving and that is the road. Simultaneously, the usage of your phone while driving makes your unaware of the happenings that may occur on the road. Current health teens a recent magazine advises when you aren't on the road there's a great danger of missing something pay attention listen because it only takes a matter of time before you get in a wreck. Concentrating is important while driving and breaking the concentrating cause a risk for an accident if you're on the phone tell that person you are driving and that you will call them back later.

Texting while driving can limit your response to someone coming out of nowhere, whether if it's a child, an adult, or a group of teens. When having less time to respond to something in the road while texting and driving it may lead to many accidents and deaths. In addition, the usage of your phone while driving can cause a dangerous environment to the people around you on the road. Anyone can walk into the road at any time of the day and staying off your phone prevents anyone including yourself from getting hurt. In the same way, texting while driving causes many dangers risking not only young teens lives, but also adults lives in future accidents. Texting while driving "causes own deaths and others, and need to pay attention to what's going on". Meanwhile, while driving needs to be taken more serious you never know what to expect on the road.
