For example, in February 2018, a 17 year old in Alabaster, Alabama killed a ten year old and her father in an accident because the teen was texting while driving. If the teen would have been paying attention to the road and not their phone the accident maybe could have been prevented. Not saying all accidents are caused by phone use, but a majority of them are.

Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents involving texting and driving. 4,637 people died in the year 2018 because of the accidents. If that does not scare one into not using their phone while driving, then I don't know what will. This is one of the many reasons why I believe driving and the use of a phone should be banned!

It is the year 2019 and all that this generation raves about is having a car and the newest IPhone if we are taught that it is okay to text and drive, someone can earnestly get hurt by these actions. Most accidents involve teen driving, we don't want to give them another reason to be absentminded while driving.

The use of a mobile device while operating a vehicle should be prohibited. Now is the time to admit that driving while using a phone or any mobile devices is dangerous! You wouldn't want you or a loved one to end up critically injured, dead or disabled. Phone usage while driving is one of the many reasons accidents happen everyday. You can always wait until you are out of the car to make that call or answer that text !

Driving and Cellular Devices have been improved from their first appearances to now. Wherever an urban or even a rural location takes place, cars and phones will be found. Which also means that the two can be used together and that becomes a horrible decision.

Dividing one's attention between cell phones and the road can be as bad as a drunk driver. Going home without risking a life or causing an accident is an appulade motion for the person behind the wheel and others doing the same in other vehicles.

Losing a life over something that could have been prevent is frustrating. The users of cell phones while driving has been around the ages of 16-24 that have been known for being in accidents that involved an phone ( the National Occupant Protection Use Survey). The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Which would make out that 1 out of every 4 car accidents that has happened in the United States is caused by texting and driving (edgarsnyder). The statistics alone should prove enough information that a distracted driver is a safety hazard to others on the road. No matter the age, anyone can be involved in an accident if not paying enough attention due to cellular devices

Though, some states have alter the punishments depending on age and the situation and some states have benefit for only using phones for GPS. Regards of what is happening, phones shouldn't be used for safety reasons. In Georgia, the state has a law that makes holding a phone illegal while driving. Georgia is the 16th state to pass the hand-free law. Reading from a phone and recording videos on the device is banned from being used (Governor's office of highway safety). Having the law give restrictions on texting,calling and even using the cellular device can help better drivers focusing on keeping the attention on the vehicles on the road.

Driving while distracted can cause problems that can become unsolvable. Protecting yourself and other drivers around the vehicle while driving on the road is already dangerous enough if not paying attention to one's surroundings. Taking away the use of a mobile device while inside a vehicle is a smart plan in protecting someone's life. It can prevent life risking accidents from occuring, takes away distractions off the road, and stopping self harm because you can cause harm to yourself and not only others around you. Plus, the bill for car insurance won't go up because it wouldn't be a bill to pay. Fortmore, not using a phone in the car while in the driver's seat is just a smart decision, let the other passengers in the vehicle do the phone work instead. Your life isn't the only one at risk of the cell phone, put it up to save yourself from being in an accident.

These accidents cause many people do get injured, or loose their life. Fatal car accidents that happen every 16 minutes. According to www. asirt. org, it says "Over 37,000 people die in road crashes each year. An additional 2.35 million are injured or disabled". This proves how many people a year get into car accidents, Millions a year, and that is unacceptable. The site also states "Over 1,600 children under 15 years of age die each year. Nearly 8,000 people are killed in crashes involving drivers ages 16-20". This shows not only is it adults, its thousands of teens as well. We are talking about a generation that mostly cares about nothing but their phones, which explains why statistics show how teens attention span causes accidents more than a lot of other people.

Some, may even come out of your own pockets if your insurance company refuses to pay and you lose a trial. According to branlawfirm. com ,"The U.S. pays about $230.6 billion in car accident costs annually - an average of $820 per U.S. citizen". This proves that the U.S will be saving billions and billions of dollars if you eliminate all the car accidents that have happened over the years and could have used it for more other good causes. A site, Www. supermoney. com says "I represented a family whose 9-year-old son was struck by a car. He spent a week in the hospital and racked up $100,000 in medical bills. The insurance company for the driver said the boy was 50% at fault, that he shouldn't have run out in the street. The police also blamed the kid.". This quote is accurate and to conclude this claim, this shows the fact that there's more than just having injuries and car insurance, it's also the medical bill you have to worry about because if you are at fault for being distracted on your phone you will end up paying a house worth of money for your medical care.

In Conclusion, drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. The DIstraction causes plenty of accidents,that can harm and kill lots of innocent people, leading to death, and it will cost you and the country a lot of money. It cost the country over 200 billion dollars that they have to give up for all the car accidents, instead of doing what needs to be done for this country like saving global warming or enforcing gun laws, etc. The death rates in america is a lot cause by car accidents, and a lot of the people are teens whose attention is all on their phones. I would think twice about having a phone in the car as accidents and death involving cars is extremely predictable.

Although cell phones have not been around for a very long time, they have become a key part of our lives. Everyone including myself uses their cell phones for just about everything such as: texting, talking, social media, taking photos, etc. There are often times where we can multitask with all of the above.

Recommending such ideas could cause more controversy and promote unsafe activities by suggesting that the behavior is safe to the public. Researches show that using headsets such as bluetooth or ear buds can be as dangerous as holding a phone because the conversations distracts drivers from focusing on the road.

Other drivers on the road take notice of drivers on their cell phones whether they want to or not because of the hazards they create. When driving, you have to be aware of your surroundings as well as everyone else's safety. Erratic driving is something that we all get quite worked up about, especially if it makes us late or is otherwise a direct inconvenience to us. No one wants to be apart of a traffic jam or worse, an accident.

Despite being addicted to these little hand held devices, we as a society have to learn to prioritize for the safety of our nation. The hand free devices are fine but Studies show that they do not prevent a high number of accidents. The amount of focus and time spent on being cautious and aware is not high in numbers. Drivers are too in tune with what is going on with the rest of the world that they can not seem to focus on the road ahead. Once everyone understands the importance of not texting and driving, the streets will be safe for us as well as the upcoming generations.

Distracted driving is doing another activity while driving. This takes driver's attention away from the primary task of driving and increases the risks of crashing. Common distractions are not limited to talking on a cell phone, texting, reading, eating, grooming, using a navigation device, and turning the radio.

Furthermore, individuals who disobey the law and keep using their device on the road should have to pay a fine for putting other drivers in danger. If the problem is still occurring after the fine, they should get to face jail time or pay the fine with an added $100. The final step in stopping phone users behind the wheel is that they should lose their license for a year.

Also, phone companies should be directed to add safe driving features to help keep the public safe, which will in turn bring down the death rates from people using their phones and driving. Companies should encourage safe driving by making a system that makes answering calls and replying to text messages with your voice to minimize the loss of concentration due to the loss of focus on the road

All in all, stopping phone usage on the road is beneficial. Creating hands-free phones by all phone companies should be a safety demand required by the law. The number of offenses on the new law should be up to 5 offenses each month. When you are in trouble for using your phone while driving by the law with an offense, you should loose your drivers license for up to a month along with additional taxes to teach you a lesson. If these actions are carried out properly, up to 421,000 road incidents related to distracted drivers could be prevented each year.

Even using hands-free is against the law and the first time you get caught using your phone while in the driver seat results in a $50 fine and one demerit point. They both serve the same purpose when it comes to distracting the driver. Now there are some exceptions such as reporting traffic accidents, medical emergencies, and criminal activity, but you have to have proof if you want your case dropped. These rules might sound crazy but its finally time we took a stand and did something about people using cellphones while in the driver's seat.

It's like wow is whatever you have going on in your phone really more important than my life? I don't think so. The passenger should control the driver's music, phone calls, and any other reason they are on their phone, it's really not that hard. It is proven that you cannot focus fully on the road or on other vehicles around you while talking on the phone.

Whatever it is on your phone that you're dying to look at, can wait until the car ride is over. No text or phone call can be that important to take your own life or someone else's, and if so let someone else in the car handle it. All in all, I think it was a great idea to ban cell phones while in the driver seat because it is making it safer for everyone on the road and ourselves. It may be frustrating to not be able to look at your phone, just think you're saving a life by doing so.

Today, around the world, there are concerns that many individuals abuse the use of cell phones while driving a vehicle. Using a cell phone, while driving a vehicle, is dangerous to the user and puts others at risk of unnecessary accidents or death. The use of a cellular device, while driving, increases the risk of a car accident and decreases the driver's focus on the road. The abuse of cell phone usage, while driving in horrible weather conditions may also increase the risk of injury or death.

These types of distractions may cause drivers to lose focus of the road or their surroundings which can ultimately endanger the driver and others. Talking to people, while operating a vehicle increases one's distraction. Conversations, by mobile phone, while driving, can be emotionally charged which only decreases awareness on the road, its rules and other drivers on the road. Cell phone distraction rates, due to texting or speaking while driving, are at an all-time high. Taking one's eye off the road or removing a hand off the steering wheel significantly increases the chance of an unnecessary car accident. It is not only the responsibility of the driver with a cell phone, but the individual on the other end of the conversation, to be respectful of the need for a driver to have complete focus while driving. At one time, cell phones did not exist, so it is imperative that conversations between people are held before or after a person is no longer operating a vehicle. There are state laws which have recently passed that impose fines, upon individuals, for cell phone abuse, such as texting while driving.

For example, driving a vehicle and talking to someone on the phone cannot be given the same amount of equal attention at the same time. For example, if the brain, of a driver, is focusing on a conversation on the phone, he or she may not notice the red light because he or she is looking at the phone versus straight ahead. It is virtually impossible for an individual mentally focus one hundred percent on more than one thing at a time. People cannot multitask where there is optimal focus and effectiveness. The brain handles tasks sequentially, switching from one task to another. Yet, the brain is incapable of juggling focus or attention simultaneously. .

The abuse of cell phones, while driving, is detrimental to oneself and others due to the contributing factors of texting, holding phone conversations, vehicular accidents and loss of focus due to limits within the human brain. There is only about a three second reaction time between a potential car crash and a driver being distracted by his or her cell phone. Texting or holding a conversation on a mobile device, while driving, is arguably just as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances. In many states, throughout North America, it has been made illegal to write, send, or read a text-based communication while operating a vehicle. Today, current vehicles install bluetooth in order to increase the use of hands free cell phone use, and in hopes of decreasing unnecessary vehicular accidents.
