Because of this, you should always put away your phone once you begin driving. Throw it into the back seat or put it in the glove box.

Studies have proven that most car accidents are due to use of a device while driving. Many may believe it's not that serious but in reality it is. Therefore, should operating a device while driving be banned?

"Frankly, using mobile phone while driving, is such a stupid cause of death that, before the advent of the cell phone it would only have been comparable with reading a book while driving or closed eyes while driving." Corby makes a pretty great comparison here. The amount of time you take to pick up your device and see who is calling you or texting you is enough time to get off the lane. While driving you should have full attention on the road. Although it is tempting to use your device try considering a longer life for yourself or someone else on the road.

40FA776C577A	1,622,411,158,146	1,333	2,025	Most of the time accidents aren't caused by one but instead someone else on the road. One could be perfectly driving and paying full attention but then another one can come maybe drunk or using a phone and come crash into the other. In scenes like these is where maybe if you weren't on your device you could've seen the other coming. In many occasions this has been the cause of accidents. Using a mobile device behind the wheel just takes your attention off the road even if it may be for seconds. One should always have their full attention on the road. It's more likely to prevent accidents from happening if your full attention is on the road and not on what is happening in your phone.

HFL prohibits a driver from occupying a phone behind the wheel. The driver must not have a phone in their hand or any part of their body to support their phone. A driver can not send messages nor read them. A drive can not watch a video or record a video while driving. There are exceptions into using a phone but those are only when reporting a crash, or another emergency. The law does not apply when the driver is parked. Breaking the law can cause one to have consequences such as a fine of $50 for the first time, $100 for the second, and $150 for the third, each time points get taken away from your license which could reach the point where your license will be suspended.

There are a series of reasons why one might pick up a device behind the wheel and to think to themselves it could be an emergency but even that split second of attention into the device can become a lethal end based on one decision and curiosity. It's better to avoid and prevent something bad from happening than to continue to test it until it does	Concluding Statement	Concluding Statement 1	527 528 529 530 531 532 533 534 535 536 537 538 539 540 541 542 543 544 545 546 547 548 549 550 551 552 553 554 555 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 566 567 568 569 570 571 572 573 574 575 576 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 584 585 586 587 588 589 590 591 592 593 594 595 596 597 598 599 600 601 602 603 604 605

Now that people use vehicles for everyday use its is easy for them to get side track and use their phones while driving. With the new features on the updated smartphones you can do video calls and voice automated things on your phone. With these new features on smartphones people are more prone to using their phones while driving causing a higher risk of death and accidents.

People use them daily for things like social media, internet surfing, reading, planning, alarms and more. There are many ways that the handheld "easy to use" technology can help people, but they also can be dangerous to us in many ways if we don't take fully responsibility in them and use them when we need them and when we don't. This leads to the harm of people who think they can be using their phones while they are driving.

There are enough incidents already worldwide due to cell phone being a distraction for drivers. If you have an urge to pick up a phone or get texts or calls often while you're driving it'll be safer to just turn your phone off until you're in a safe position where you can handle it without any risk. Driving is something that should be done with seriousness and not to be tempted with. The roads would be safer and people would be safer if they start turning their phones off for a better solution to deaths by car crashes.

Now phones are used to text, play music on their phone,make phone calls,etc. Using a phone while driving is a safety hazard and should be punishable by a huge fine or even imprisonment.

In conclusion, phones can be a dangerous and evil device that can cause harm to you or other drivers while you are on the road. Because of this, you should always put away your phone once you begin driving. Throw it into the back seat or put it in the glove box.

Operating a cell phone or any type of device while driving comes with many risks. Many don't see the consequences that it may bring and use it anyway. Studies have proven that most car accidents are due to use of a device while driving. Many may believe it's not that serious but in reality it is. Therefore, should operating a device while driving be banned?

Stephen Corby has an article, "Why you really shouldn't use your mobile phone while driving" here, he compares the usage of a mobile device while driving to driving with your eyes closed or reading a book while driving. "Frankly, using mobile phone while driving, is such a stupid cause of death that, before the advent of the cell phone it would only have been comparable with reading a book while driving or closed eyes while driving." Corby makes a pretty great comparison here. The amount of time you take to pick up your device and see who is calling you or texting you is enough time to get off the lane. While driving you should have full attention on the road. Although it is tempting to use your device try considering a longer life for yourself or someone else on the road.

Most of the time accidents aren't caused by one but instead someone else on the road. One could be perfectly driving and paying full attention but then another one can come maybe drunk or using a phone and come crash into the other. In scenes like these is where maybe if you weren't on your device you could've seen the other coming. In many occasions this has been the cause of accidents. Using a mobile device behind the wheel just takes your attention off the road even if it may be for seconds. One should always have their full attention on the road. It's more likely to prevent accidents from happening if your full attention is on the road and not on what is happening in your phone.

"HANDS FREE LAW" is the law passed by our recent governor Nathan Deal. The law has been taking place since July of 2018. HFL prohibits a driver from occupying a phone behind the wheel. The driver must not have a phone in their hand or any part of their body to support their phone. A driver can not send messages nor read them. A drive can not watch a video or record a video while driving. There are exceptions into using a phone but those are only when reporting a crash, or another emergency. The law does not apply when the driver is parked. Breaking the law can cause one to have consequences such as a fine of $50 for the first time, $100 for the second, and $150 for the third, each time points get taken away from your license which could reach the point where your license will be suspended.

In conclusion, being distracted while driving can cause fatal crashes or other consequences. There are a series of reasons why one might pick up a device behind the wheel and to think to themselves it could be an emergency but even that split second of attention into the device can become a lethal end based on one decision and curiosity. It's better to avoid and prevent something bad from happening than to continue to test it until it does

According to the official DMV website, in 2014 26 % of all car crashes involved cell phone use. Considering all the other factors that can cause accidents this is a large percentage. There are so many distractions and uncertainties on the roads, there is no need to add another one to hinder your driving ability. Just looking away for a second could make you lose precious reaction time

For a while now since the early 2000s cell phones/smartphones has been a technological rise in the use of its kind. People use them daily for things like social media, internet surfing, reading, planning, alarms and more. There are many ways that the handheld "easy to use" technology can help people, but they also can be dangerous to us in many ways if we don't take fully responsibility in them and use them when we need them and when we don't. This leads to the harm of people who think they can be using their phones while they are driving.

The most brutal things can happen while you're looking away just for a second.

Also, when you ARE driving you really must drive for yourself and everyone else because even though you're paying attention it doesn't mean everyone else is. It takes more than just the push of a pedal and the turn of a wheel. In my opinion while you're driving you should be at your most caution due to the risk and the things that could happen to you and anyone else.

So, the best thing to do is to just not handle a phone in anyway when you're driving. There are enough incidents already worldwide due to cell phone being a distraction for drivers. If you have an urge to pick up a phone or get texts or calls often while you're driving it'll be safer to just turn your phone off until you're in a safe position where you can handle it without any risk. Driving is something that should be done with seriousness and not to be tempted with. The roads would be safer and people would be safer if they start turning their phones off for a better solution to deaths by car crashes.

Distracted drivers are the main concern for pedestrians crossing the road. Approximately four thousand people were killed in the year 2015 due to drivers not looking at the road. Having a phone in the car with you is very important but only for emergencies. Now phones are used to text, play music on their phone,make phone calls,etc. Using a phone while driving is a safety hazard and should be punishable by a huge fine or even imprisonment. Vehicular homicide is a real thing and affects thousands of Americans each year. According to the department of transportation in 2018 3,477 died due to texting on the road.

Drivers are killed because of their own negligence. On many occasions distracted drivers will hit trees,buildings,homes,etc. When drivers hit massive objects they cause more problems than expected. Drivers who use cell phones while driving can create thousands of dollars worth of damage,and could possibly ruin small businesses. All of this can be averted if only people stop putting their cell phone as a first priority. Let's stop trying to multitask. Any conversation worth risking our lives for is one not worth taking/

Distracted drivers are a growing breed and majority of them are on cell phones. When a driver hits a woman with their car a full sequence of events follow that. Not only is that woman and the potential she could have on the world is gone,but the family that she left behind will never be the same. Drivers who use their cell phones on the road causes a complete domino effect that will possibly lead to much pain.
