For instance, the government could implement having fining to any individuals caught with their mobile devices in hand. However, in most cases this won't stop an individual from doing what they want.

So what I propose is a two strike law. This would implement at first heavy fining. However if the individual continues to cause problems, it may result in the permanent suspension of their license.

When I was young riding around with my mother, a distracted driver rear-ended us, taking off the bumper. The shocking part is, if my mother had slowed down even a little, I would not be here to express my concerns. I believe that all people should strive for safety when it comes to driving. As many wise elders say, "It is not the road you must fear, but the other drivers."

The real productive way to stop all distracted driving would be to simply put down the phone while driving, and if it is a serious emergency pull to the side of the road where you are no longer a danger to yourself or others.

Cell phones are a staple in many people's lives today. It is a convenient and straightforward way to communicate with someone, gain knowledge, and directly search for information and use for different types of entertainment and media. Everywhere you go, you can see a phone on someone's person, and sometimes even on the road. This single action of holding a phone in your hand on the road has a heated debate going on around it. Should this be permitted or not? Let's look at the statistics-- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA 2019) reported 3,166 deaths that occurred in 2017 due to visually distracted driving. That makes up 8.5% of the total fatalities that year (FCC 2019). While this is still less than ten percent, we can make that number a lot lower and spare hundreds of lives each year. These deaths are avoidable.

In addition to this information, The CDC states, "Each day in the United States, approximately nine people are killed and more than 1,000 injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver." (CDC). This is a massive amount of injuries each that could be easily avoided and possibly save many lives. Edgar Snyder and Associates, a personal injury law firm, publishes that "Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving" in the nation and 21 percent of teenagers behind the wheel that died in crashes were diverted by phones (Edgar Snyder and Associates). Texting is while driving is the most hazardous activity that can be done while operating a vehicle. "Texting can make vehicle accidents 23 times more likely to happen." (Helbock 2018). Looking at a phone while typing a message impairs the visual, cognitive, and manual abilities needed to efficiently and safely drive a car. While sending or replying to a text, a person is no longer only thinking about the road, but also taking in information and visuals on the phone. They are distracted from lights, signs, signals from other cars, and the entire road overall. Additionally, both hands are not on the steering wheel, weakening their control and regulation of the vehicle.

When a person that is driving is using a mobile device, it not only imperils their own life but also the lives of passengers that may be in the vehicle with them, pedestrians, and other road users such as motorists and cyclists. In these kinds of accidents, many are either killed, injured, and many are frequently left disabled in various ways. However, phone use for travel navigation is a complex debate distinct from texting.

They do this while also trying to pay attention to the road, but this is no better than not paying attention to the road entirely. Even if a person is not typing, the dilemma yet lies in not having eyes on the road. Looking down even for a few seconds to follow the navigation route is extremely dangerous. To this problem, the solutions are phone stands added with audio navigation guides. A sturdy phone stand should be fixed to the front windshield of the car from the inside a touch lower than eye level, so a person can still see the road ahead and their directions. In addition to this, an audio guide can play to direct them with ease while still having a visual guide at their convenience that will have a significantly lesser probability of inducing a fatal accident.

Teaching young adults early in school is essential to have them remember the lessons later in life. The education system should take charge of incorporating lessons on road safety and phone use each year of a student's educational career to help them recognize the danger they could put themselves in when driving and looking at a phone in their hands. The earlier they start, the more educated they would be, and the less likely they would be to make the wrong decision later in life. After a student has graduated, strict road laws on phones and driving should be a regular reminder of their education, and not to put themselves and other people at risk. Legislation should be passed in every state regarding phone use in the car and make it reach out to citizens effectively. This would significantly reduce the number of vehicle fatalities each year.

While cell phones are utilized everywhere throughout our everyday lives, people should not use them while operating a vehicle. Various statistics show that this is an extremely practice that claims a multitude of lives every day, yet people continue to do so. Through education and legislation, the fatal numbers could be reduced, and citizens would be more educated on road laws and safety for themselves, including those around them, and make the streets safer for everyone. It is time to take this data more seriously and prohibit cell phone use on the roads.

Although laws have been put into place to try and prevent the usage of a cellphone when driving, sadly, there are still people who don't feel the need to abide by these rules. Which is why the punishments for breaking such laws should be highly enforced and more drastic. Examples of this would be increasing fines, harsher warnings, or longer time served in jail. When people driving are distracted by their cellphone, they are not only putting their life in danger, but also everybody`s around them. In the United States, one out of every four car accidents are caused by texting while driving. Something needs to be done.

If you look down to check a text message and have averted your eyes for 5 seconds while driving 60 miles per hours, you have already traveled the length of a football field. Anything could happen within those 5 seconds. While you were looking at a picture of a dog that your friend sent you, you ran a stop sign resulting in another car driving full speed to crash into you. In this scenario, two cars are destroyed, and the people inside have forever mental and physical trauma and that's only if they didn't pass due to the impact of the collision

This eliminates the possibility of even getting a tempting notification in the first place. You can also put your phone out of sight/reach. If a situation ever does come up where you have to respond immediately, you could pass your phone to whoever is riding passenger, or you could pull into a parking lot and wait until your vehicle has come to a complete stop before responding. By knowing how to avoid being a distracted driver and putting your practice into play on the streets, you're not only making your life safer but everyone`s around you.

When you are driving, you must be considerate and mindful to everyone else on the road. Being a distracted driver doesn't just show that you are selfish, but also that you have no courtesy for fellow drivers. As long as we enforce the consequences put upon people who text while driving, the road will be a much safer place. Whether it's because people don't want to pay a pricey fine, or because they follow precautions to prevent being a distracted driver. In reading this essay, I hope you now know why it is so important for you to drive safely.

Many teenagers have their phones as their top priority. Many of them are on them all the time even while driving. Texting while driving is one of many causes of death in the United States. These young 16 year olds don't understand that not only are they putting their life in danger but they are putting the person beside them, in front of them, and behind them in danger.

Phones while driving can wait. You only get to live your life once and so do the people around you. Don't think that looking at your phone for one second won't change anything because it could change everything. You can look at your phone when you get home or when your parked in a parking lot. Snapchat can wait and a text to your boyfriend/girlfriend can wait because your life and the peoples lives around you are more important than one quick text.

Whilst listening to music or conversations (like from a podcast or a call), drivers dedicated focus on the road decreases by 40%. This is a major reason as to why cell phone use leads to 1.6 million wrecks a year. Without being allowed to use cell phones while driving would make it so everyone is solely focused on driving and uses their full brain capacity to reduce the risk of crashes.

Our brains instinctively respond to the alerts our phones send us, making it nearly impossible to resist the temptation to do so. Aceable. com says that you are 1.4x as likely to crash when just simply reaching for your phone and 23x the risk when texting, which is 6 times the risk of when under the influence. If we can't handle not reaching for our phones, then it needs to be banned similarly to alcohol.

Alcohol is made so that you are not allowed to travel with open containers. Cell Phones should be completely off and tucked away somewhere for you to retrieve them for when you are finished traveling. Your phone should not be on your person if you are controlling a vehicle to avoid the temptation. If you decide not to turn your phone off, you must pull over safely and steadily when you wish to answer a call that may be of importance

When you learn how to drive, the people tell you that at all times keep your eyes on the road at all times. If you don't pay attention to the road you can cause yourself and someone else to die. It's an increased risk of crashing. While driving your usage might be banned so you won't be able to use your phone while driving. Please drivers keep your eyes on the road and off the phones. Like for example you can last 30 minutes without being on the phone.

Your eyes should be focused on the road at all times. If you take your eyes of the road for a split second there is a chance you are not paying attention to what is in front of you. Chances are if you are looking at your phone you could end up on the other side of the road and could possibly hit a car. You could also run into the back of somebody else's car in front of you.
