Technology has evolved in the way that you can easily find directions through the gps on your phone, as well as other technological advances. Even if the driver thinks that they are looking down at their devices for a quick second and can multitask it is said that looking away for so much as five seconds can cause an accident seeing as though you are not completely concentrated on the road and what is occurring around you. When on the driving it is a great responsibility to make sure that you refrain from doing anything that might distract you from driving. One mistake can cause you get to hurt including others around you.

Although, texting and calling behaviors behind the wheel have become increasingly common among drivers in modern society. Texting while driving, or even being on your phone while driving has caused so many accidents. In United States, almost 1.6 million people has crashed each year. Texting while driving is becoming increasingly an issue of concern among different stakeholders including the general public and government.

Injuries and death rates of road carnage have been increasing by the day. I don't allow texting while driving when I'm in the car with someone because that's very dangerous. Something has to be done about texting while driving. My family member had got into bad wreck because the other person who hit them were texting and driving.
I feel like someone should protest on testing and driving.

With that being said, the law banning texting and driving should be mandatory in each state. Texting is so commonplace and prevalent that it is up to lawmakers to ensure the safety of drivers on the road. Many people do not realize that texting while driving can be just as dangerous as driving while drunk. It is up to the lawmakers to help protect that one person out of two hundred who does make it home each night.

In conclusion, cellphones should be banned. They should not be used while driving. If people want to avoid getting into accidents they should stop using their phones while driving. If there weren't any accidents the world would be a safer place. Having cellphones can be of good use as well. But only if people use them that way. Making a phone call while driving can be dangerous as well. Making phone calls aren't always that important. So therefore banning cellphones while driving could result in a better solution.

just a month ago my cousin and 6 of my friends got in a bad accident. The accident was so tragic that my cousin and 4 other friends died and only one of them manage to get out. The driver that hit their truck was drunk. Not only was he drunk but he was texting as well. When driving you should never text. If you think the message is that important you should at least go park your car and go from their.

They have commercials on tv about texting and driving. Also on billboards, youtube, and etc. A lot of people text and drive still to this day. But it's most definitely not safe. I think banning cellphones while driving would be a good thing to do. Everyday people die from car accidents. Because of the use of using their cell phones while driving.

One of the obvious rules to follow when driving is to keep both hands on the steering wheel while driving. Specifically ten and two, which they tell you when you go to get your driver's license. This action can't be achieved if one hand is holding the phone to your ear.

In conclusion, texting or talking on the phone while driving is not safe for anyone. It will more than likely cause an accident and people can wait to make that one phone call or that last text. Risking your life is not worth it. Driving while using cell phones should be a thing of the past. Texting and driving should not be done anymore and nobody should suffer from crashes or accidents due to a driver using their phone while behind the wheel.

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.

Driving is a thing most adults and 16+ teens do, they use the cars to drive to work, school, or go to a place where they can have fun. To teens driving is the first thing teens will do to start taking the responsibility of being an adult, but for some reason even though you're supposed to keep your eyes on the road teens and adults alike are on their phone texting and driving which is as bad as drinking and driving.

Cops can pull you over and give you a ticket just for texting and driving if they have suspicions of you being on your phone. It is not worth getting a $200 ticket for texting and driving, you should wait until you are at your destination or at least pull into a parking lot to see your texts if they are that important.

Overall, texting and driving is as worse or maybe even worse than drinking and driving due to everyone having a cell phone and not everyone is at the legal age to drink alcohol. Texting and driving can happen in any part of the day while drinking and driving is usually around night time due to how everyone drinks when it get dark outside.

Imagine a scenario in which we lived in a society of the past; where we never developed cell-phones or gps technology. We would still require maps of areas we travel, and areas we would require directions for would be marginally more difficult to traverse. People would be unaware of the most efficient way to get from place to place by being incapable of receiving updates on the state of traffic in progress. In our current society and with our current regulation around cell phones have resulted in a best-case-scenario that balances the reward from using such technology and the reducing the dangers that they present.

In all of our phones, people have a location option they can turn on. Using this, the phone can communicate with GPS satellites and give people directions to any location that people desire to travel to with things like Google Maps. This makes perfect sense to use in conjunction with operating a motor vehicle, and since it makes the roads easier to travel it should not be punished.

GPS does this by providing people with traffic options and traffic updates, which works by calculating how many users are on each road. This information is useful because the wider-spread the technology is, the more information can be collected to provide more accurate data to represent traffic effectively. This indirectly reduces traffic by providing alternative routes of travel.

While this risk is undeniably present, restrictions on the use of phones is an action most states are implementing currently. The exact implementation differs from state to state, but most laws are "Hands off" laws, meaning that drivers can be pulled over and fined for driving for having one hand holding a phone.

The objective of any regulation should be to reduce the risks of distracted driving by discouraging the act. To completely restrict the usage of phones in cars would be detrimental to how we operate as a society. Effective implementation of Hands-Off laws will hopefully show results that reduce the risks surrounding phones in vehicles. A balance between regulation and effective and responsible use is what we should strive to achieve.
