Everyday people die in car accident, but most of those accidents are caused by people on their cell phones. This here is one of the biggest issues the world faces every day with drivers getting their self's in danger and others over a phone call or text message. If you think the slight chance that any of this isn't important and the world is just making a big deal about this, will then let me give a hand and give you a lesson. In 2011s Cell Phone and Driving Statistics, it's estimated that 23% of all car accidents each year are cause by cell phones use. That's 1.3 million crashes and 10 % of those car crashes have been fatal to many others.

Yes, laws are already being test or being placed in many states banning phones while driving now, but they all have a different way of solving this problem. In some states the law only effects teens under 18 or 21 from using their phones when driving hoping to dramatically decrease the chance of car accidents where in other states they don't allow ant one to use their phones at all, for example California has a law that any one 18 or above are ban for using their phones on the roads or anywhere while their using a car, same goes for Hawaii as well.

Being on your phone while driving is how most teens get in car wrecks. Cell phones have took over most of these teens lifes. You know it's crazy when a person is willing to risk their life to text somebody back or get on social media. People die everyday in car accidents just because they was on their cell phone while driving. We are all attached to our cell phones it doesn't make no sense

1 out of 4 car crashes are caused by texting while driving. Most teens will probably own up to phones while driving. The thing about it is that teens are not the only ones texting while driving. There area lot of adults who do it also. When you are talking on a cell phone it is worse than talking to your passenger. Everytime the driver gets a message or a notification they feel as if they also have to look and respond back to it

If it is an emergency i feel as if you need to pull over to the side of the road and text or call who ever it is back. Even if the device is hands free it is still dangerous cause you wont be focused on the road you will be focused on if the device is working or not. When you're talking to someone your brain is not all the way focused on the road it's putting energy in the conversation that y'all are having. It can wait until you reach your destination. Because when you text while drive you have to completely move your hands off the wheel and eyes off the road.

Everyday people die in car accidents because they use cell phones while driving. According to research cell phones are leading factors that cause accidents. Studies show that a cell phone put drivers at a four-time greater risk of a crush. Despite of a danger, people still use cell phones because they want to be always available and keep in touch with other people. Also, they think that hand-free set is safe because they can drive using two hands. Moreover, they use arguments that cell phones are necessary in emergency situations

Business issues can be stressful and dangerous while driving because it can cause emotional reactions that can lead to tragedy. Because of the conversation they might get upset and this can lower their driving ability that can lead to lose control over the car. So if people don't make a decision to put away their cell phones their routine can harm innocent people.

Researches show that using headset can be as dangerous as holding a phone because the conversations distracts drivers from focusing on the road. Scientists had proven that people talking over the phone image person who they talking to and that doesn't interfere with driving. The problem is when a car swerves unexpectedly or pedestrian step into traffic, and the mind lacks the processing power to react in time. So, the problem isn't in holding the wheel and cell phone at the same time what may cause an accident because of lack man oeuvre, it is because of conversation and lack of reaction at the particularly time.

People shouldn't fully depend on cell phones because they are not reliable, and the trusty solution for the difficult situation is OnStar. OnStar is a service that in case of accident or an emergency will contact you. If you are not able to answer, they will contact police department, hospital and fire service giving them your exact GPS location. Therefore, nowadays cell phones are unnecessary devices because they are unreliable in emergency situations while On Star is always prepared to help you in an accident.

Business issues can be stressful and dangerous while driving because it can cause emotional reactions that can lead to tragedy. Because of the conversation they might get upset and this can lower their driving ability that can lead to lose control over the car. So if people don't make a decision to put away their cell phones their routine can harm innocent people.

Researches show that using headset can be as dangerous as holding a phone because the conversations distracts drivers from focusing on the road. Scientists had proven that people talking over the phone image person who they talking to and that doesn't interfere with driving. The problem is when a car swerves unexpectedly or pedestrian step into traffic, and the mind lacks the processing power to react in time. So the problem isn't in holding the wheel and cell phone at the same time what may cause an accident because of lack man oeuvre, it is because of conversation and lack of reaction at the particularly time.

People shouldn't fully depend on cell phones because they are not reliable, and the trusty solution for the difficult situation is OnStar. OnStar is a service that in case of accident or an emergency will contact you. If you are not able to answer, they will contact police department, hospital and fire service giving them your exact GPS location. Therefore, nowadays cell phones are unnecessary devices because they are unreliable in emergency situations while On Star is always prepare to help you in an accident.

In conclusion "should drivers be able to use phones for any reason while driving?" As stated earlier in the essay I believe talking on the phone should not be a problem for those who can multi-task. Things like texting should not be tolerated because it puts drivers and there passengers at risk. People behind wheels should realize that driving is dangerous.

One of the most dangerous, distracting activities that many people do is texting while driving. It is extremely dangerous because people who do this are putting more attention in texting, and they take their eyes off the road while they are driving, which increases the chance that the driver can lose the control of the vehicle, and could cause a crash or even in a worst-case could kill other people. When a person is texting, she/he is thinking about other things besides concentrating on driving. This is very dangerous because it could make the driver lose control of the car and slow her/his brain's reaction time in case of a potential accident.

In this case, the driver wouldn't be distracted by the ringing or buzzing of the phone, and it wouldn't tempt the driver to text while driving. Another way to break this habit is to download some of the new applications that can disable cell phones while people are driving. Also, there are other applications that automatically send a text to whoever is texting the driver to tell that person that she/he is driving and that the text will be answered later. There are a great variety of applications to choose I think that we can use these to help us with the problem of texting while we are driving. Additionally, if a driver is waiting for an important call or text and has company in the car, the phone can be given to a passenger to check it out. Also, there are some programs that are helping to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and to keep it from occurring. In these anti-texting programs, people can drive in a simulated situation, where they are driving but also texting, and can see how many accidents are caused by this problem. In fact, in 2011, at least 23% of auto collisions involved cell phones. That's about 1.3 million crashes! Not only that but texting while driving is actually more dangerous than driving while being drunk or high on marijuana. Every year almost a million people in the United States get into accidents, the majority: teens. Unfortunately, the number just keeps increasing.

In a 2012 Cell Phone and Driving Statistic, it is reported that 3,328 people were killed and 421,000 people were injured due to distracted drivers. Furthermore, it is said that talking or listening on the phone increases the risk of crashing by 1.3 times while reaching for a device is 1.4. Dialing is 2.8 times more risk of crashing while texting is 23 more times. Additionally, talking on a cell phone and driving at the same time can make the driver's reaction time to be as slow as that of a seventy-year-old. To break these habits, people can either turn off their phone or put it on silent before driving. This will force them to concentrate on the road only. But if this method doesn't work on some people, you can use S voice or Siri to command your phone to read out your messages or to reply back. This will allow your eyes to focus on the road instead of your phone. No more reaching for your phone to text "Lol" or "Lmao" and endangering your own live and many others. Though you are still talking while driving, it still decreases your chance of crashing. An app in smart phones that works similarly to the method I described before is called DriveSafe. ly. Basically, it reads your text messages and emails out loud and has a customization auto-responded.

Before you look at a text, remember that it is not worth dying for. But preventing the usage of these everyday devices is very simple, yet rather difficult, and will save lives if it work out. Accidents are deadly to many people, so creating an environment for everyone is better in the long run. As a young adult, I plan to use some of these ideas and promote these websites and encourage others around me to do the same.

The average person uses their phone many times a day whether it be consciously or not, we as a people always have access to our own devices. The problem with people using their phone is when to use it and how to use it properly. When inside of a vehicle there should only be a bare minimum of use to your phone. Whether that reason would be an emergency call or even doing simple things like using the maps application.

One of the reasons would be that to use your phone to get your way through areas you have no idea how to get through or using your phone to find your way home from a place you have no knowledge on. The downside is that when the person glances at the phone to see where to turn or make a specific move they lose the focus on the road for a split second which could be fatal. Sometimes the use of a phone all depends on what kind of person it is.

The person could be a maniac when it comes down to how they use their phone, some people can't even live without it because they are so connected to it, for those specific people who have those kinds of issues when it comes down using their phones they should not be able to use their phone at all because they would then get distracted by the other uses. The amount of sheer will they would need to not get distracted by those other things would be entirely on them but in the mean time they should have no reason to use their phone.

Many people today think using cell phones while driving are good ideas. When phones are being used in the process of driving you have a higher chance of causing an accident in the road. Some may also say that having your phone out helps you multitask things at once in a car so it would be a good thing. They would say you could send documents off if your late to work, if you need to order a gift for a person or even call someone to pick up something for you at home. Using a cell phone is widely considered dangerous due to its potential for causing distracted driving and crashing. Many people argue and say driving while using a hands-free device is not safer than using a handheld phone. In the U.S. the amount of car crashes due to distracted driving is increasing

Using a phone while driving decreases the awareness on the road which leads to more car crashes. People will notice when you are on your phone and try to drive ahead of you just in case something might end up happening. Having kids in the car and you are on the phone talking is a big risk to you and the kids. The drivers on their phones will be paying more attention the person their talking or texting instead of the road.

When driving you have three distinct groups. The first one is visual distraction it involves taking your eyes off the road even if your looking at a GPS system or trying to check a child's seatbelt. The next one would be manual distraction it involves you taking your hands off the wheel. It happens when you are searching for something in a bag or trying to eat something. The last is cognitive distractions it happens when you are not mentally focused on the purpose of driving and instead everything else is important to you and the road is not.

The AAA (American Automobile Association) says that the older they are the less likely they are to get in a crash. However, those drivers under the ager of 24 are in a higher risk of an accident because their minds are still being developed into the adult stage. Parents are losing their children because of phones being used on the road. Save a child's life and stop the use of texting while driving.

In this conclusion having a phone while driving is dangerous and reckless. Always worry about your life first before you even think about touching your phone. Help stop deaths and save life's so children can go home and see their parents. Getting home to an family safe and sound is a better feeling than losing your life to an electronic device.

47 states have the hands free law. If you get caught the punishment is a fine that cost as little as 20 dollars all the way to 500 dollars. Another punishment is getting charges and your licenses changed to Class B. Not all states have made this a law yet because they don't see the concern.

A couple examples of this is if a kid is getting off the bus and your texting and driving you could run over them or someone is walking across the road and you are texting and driving and run a red light and hit them. Also if your speeding and hit the tail end of someone while your on your phone while driving.

One it is a law and you should follow laws. Two it is very, very dangerous for yourself and others. If it is so important to risk other lives pull over or go into a parking lot. If anything call them, do not text them and when you call pair it to your car or truck.
