Many car crashes have occurred whilst using a phone and has become one of the leading causes of accidents on the road. Not only is it dangerous, but it is also illegal in most states and one could also be fined a hefty amount. It's simply a bad idea to text, talk, and overall use your phone while driving. Many tend to put responsible drivers in danger through these acts and fail to realize it until it's too late. Remember to drive responsibly, paying attention to those around you and how you drive. Your phone is not worth a life.

A major ticket, a bad crash, and even a life. Just all of the bad things that can happen. Just putting the phone down can prevent all of the bad things that can happen to you and your loved ones. Say your driving on a major highway, maybe I-95, there is an intersection in the middle of the road and you need to see the red light because its about to turn. If your looking at your phone and miss the light you can cause a major disturbance in traffic.

Your driving and you pick up your phone and miss a turn, you hit a car and that car hits 5 more cars and sets off a chain reaction, All of those people have a probability of dying because of how fast your going and how hard you hit them. Now you can be charged with murder and that gives you life in prison. So think about that about that before picking up your phone.

This shows that 2 years ago a lot of people were using cellphones while driving .I feel as if the government could have a system where they can detect phones while people are driving , which means officers can look in drivers cars and doesn't have to be there physically. I think this idea will help people stay focused on the road more and can help other drivers stay safe.

According to www. google. com "a traffic ticket is $70 to $400 depending on your state law and or drivers records'.If you have a bad driver's record and have unpaid tickets you will have to spend time in jail, pay fines, and your licences can get suspended.

In other words i feel as if drivers should not be able to use cellphones while driving because people can get into accidents and get harmed or possibly die from it. I also feel like if people are on their phone while driving it distracts them and they can hold up traffic and and get traffic tickets .Last but not least , people know they shouldn't text and drive and still do it . Society now and days know wrong from right but do the opposite . My advice to people who text and drive ,is to stop texting and driving , if you need to use ur phone while on the road, make sure you have a passenger that can help with you.

it has come at a price. People's need for communication, specifically with cell-phones has created the serious issue of cell-phone use while driving. This issue leads to serious consequences, and has been met with new laws and features added to cars to keep the roads safe from cell-phone use while driving.

The distraction that cell-phones create while driving has the ability to seriously injure or even take someone's life away. For many years, while most states have not had laws regulating cell-phone use while driving, there have been various PSA campaigns warning against cell-phone use while driving, usually specific with texting and driving. These PSAs are meant to scare drivers hoping that it will discourage this dangerous behavior.

These behaviors have been specifically targeted by many states that have enacted laws to prevent cell-phone use that can cause accidents. Georgia, specifically, passed the hands-free rule, fining drivers for cell-phone use, holding the phone. This law can be easily obeyed because of the adjustments created by car companies and other accessories that are available. More recent cars have options for phones through the car to keep the driver focused on the road but keeping the communication possible for the driver. Cars may have an aux cord or a bluetooth option to be able to receive and make calls without touching the phone. Phones connected to the car this way, can play music through a cell-phone through the car, then the driver can control volume and choice of song through the steering wheel. There are many car accessories to make phone use safer like an attachment to the windshield that holds the driver's phone, to keep their eyes in the front to the road rather than to the side to look at their phone. These adjustments that coincide with laws like the hands-free rule allow drivers to safely use their cell-phones while driving.

This issue has lead to serious consequences, and has been met with new laws and features added to cars to keep the roads safe from cell-phone use while driving, but will continue to have serious consequences. While there are many solutions to this issue have been created it will still have consequences. People will continue to be injured or killed by this issue but without any restrictions or inventions this issue would not continued at the same rate. The precautions keep the roads as safe as they can be, because people will continue to use their cell-phones while driving, but at least it is more regulated and less distracting now

In the United States, car wrecks because of distracted drive are increasing. The leading reason to distracted driving is cell phones. While most people appear to be aware of the dangers of using the cellphone while driving, they even continue to take this risk. What would it take to make people to quit utilizing their cell phones while operating their car?

In addition to it lessens the driver's awareness of their surroundings while on the road, causing more car accidents. "Auto deaths have risen for two straight years, marking the biggest increase in more than dive decades. While lower gas prices have encouraged more driving, distracted driving due to cellphones has been tapped as one of the major causes. That has prompted many states to begin cracking down on phone use while driving with laws outlawing the behavior." (Pressman, A..Apr.2017)

While some see that there is no problem with texting and driving, there is a law that says otherwise. Texting and driving are not safe for any age citizens. Texting is a distraction from focusing on the road while driving. There is no multitasking when it comes to texting and driving. There have been too many car accidents that have been caused by people using their phones while driving.

Being on the phone while driving increases the risk of crashing. Even if you are stopped at a red traffic light, it is illegal and not safe. If there is an accident for texting and driving, there are penalties. The penalties are based on the first, second, and third offense. At each offense, there is a monetary fee and points taken off of your driver's license. If a driver has too many offenses, this could result in the suspension of an individual's license.

When drivers text their attention is divided when it should be focused only on the road. Texting and driving is a dangerous thing because you can injure or kill someone else or even yourself. When driving you not only have to be focused on the road but also you have to be considerate of others on the road.

After all, texting and driving is against the law and just is not safe. No matter how young or old you are, you cannot focus on driving and texting without being at risk of having an accident. To protect your own life and others do not use your phone while driving. If you want to use your phone, you should wait until parked off the road. That way, you will not get any tickets, nor will anyone's life will be at risk.

According to the auto insurance comparison search engine, The Zebra, approximately nine people are killed and over 1,000 people are injured from car accidents when one driver is preoccupied with their cell phone. This means that defensive drivers are not impervious on the road when another driver utilizes a cellular device. We, as a society, have the responsibility to keep others safe. The next time one sees their loved ones should not be on an autopsy table following an easily preventable car accident. The solution is to this dilemma is to enforce laws pertaining to cell phone usage and operators of vehicles.

However, those who check messages risk their lives. According to Miller&Zois Limited Liabilities Company, a law firm based in Maryland, five seconds of viewing a text message is the amount of time it takes for car travelling at fifty-five miles per hour to drive across an entire football field. Therefore, if an individual decides to look at a notification or respond to a text message, that person could enter a river or cliff at that same speed by using a phone while driving.

Humans are said to be social creatures. However, social behaviors will limit the focus of drivers. A single second is an ample amount of time to lose one's life. Phones and driving are as compatible as water and oil. Do not post a picture, send a text message, read a book, or watch a movie when behind the wheel. Put the phone out of sight and out of reach.

But they're a few pros and cons that come with using a phone in an operating vehicle. In the first elace why would you want anyone in the vehicle to operate a phone in the vehicle which could become a distraction to the driver and everyone who's in the video. To me that extremely dangerous because if you didn't know in today's society everyone likes to use their phone while in the vehicle. Phones shouldn't be even be thought about while in the vehicle because that's how most accidents happen because of distracted drivers. Which is basically a second distraction to drivers. Just say your phone rings while your driving so you take your eyes off the road to see who's calling is intensively increasing your risk for an accident.

Most drivers like to text while they are driving. That can be dangerous because you will be distracted from the road. The most common cause of car accidents is drivers operating a cell phone while driving. Texting & driving is what causes most car accidents. The driver focus will be more on the phone then the road. When most people get a text or notification on their cell phone, they usually respond or check it immediately.

It's important that you don't operate a cell phone while driving. Not only for your safety but for the others around you. If it's a situation when you have to respond immediately, wait until you come to a complete stop or pull over to the side. Safety is more important than anything. The smallest mistake can put you in the biggest situation. That's why you should keep your eyes on the road & off of your cellphone.

Car accidents happen every day, 16 percent of those accidents are related to cell phones. That's more than the percentage of accidents caused by bad weather. Not only have cell phones been known to distract drivers from driving but all distract people from walking, working, and homework.
