Texting and driving has its consequences and could range from criminal charges, fines, and or jail time. Lastly, when you drive think about yourself and the people around you that could get affected by YOUR decision. Take in mind the consequences and how your life can change due to that one decision of picking up your phone and sending a text message.

I think cell phones should be banned while driving. In today's society , cell phones are very popular. People have a habit of texting they are driving. Texting while driving is very dangerous because you don't know what may happen. You may have a car wreck if you are not paying attention to the road. Cell phones have many disadvantages when texting while driving somewhere

Reading and responding to someone message makes the driver not paying attention to the road. Most people swerve in and out of the white line when they text and drive. Therefore the activity is very risky for the surrounding drivers. All states should make it illegal to text and drive. There are some people that think they are very good at multitasking so they see no problem with texting and driving. They will learn one day.

To sum it all up, be on your phone while driving is one of the main causes of wreck and car injuries. People should sit there phone down while driving until they get to the destination. People should pay more attention to the road. Some have to pay fines if they are caught texting and driving. If every other stay pass a law, or make them pay fines, people would calm down from being on their phones and driving.

Cell phone have become very popular over the past few years. According to the iPhone the world is going crazy over them. There are about 7.53 billion people in this world and 3.3 billion people have phone. Some people use their phones for good reasons, for example, they may need to use their GPS but 50 percent of the time this is bad because the people would be more force on the directions then the road and 9 times out of 10 this will cause a car wreck! This is not safe at all.

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.

In conclusion, you should not use a cell phone while driving because it is inconsiderate of other drivers, because it is illegal, it causes more automobile crashes, and because there are alternatives that are safer than cell phones when on the road. If you regularly answer calls or texts when you are going shopping, to work, to a friend's house, or whatever you may be doing, consider the consequences. What is more important? The text message or your life?

If someone is texting and driving and or talking on the phone that means they are not focused on the road or not focused on the other drivers that could possibly merge over and wreck the driver and possibly kill the person. This is a major problem because everyone has the urge to check their phone if they hear it go off with a text ding because everyone think that all calls are possibly an emergency but either that emergency or your life. There are many ways to prevent this.

One way to prevent texting and driving is to put your phone on silent or turn it off while driving in a vehicle. That will take the urge of texting someone back or answering a phone call until you get to your destination. If everyone done this when they got in the driver seat of a vehicle there would be less death my car because that is a hug percentage of the reason vehicular accidents happen behind drunk driving. And that effects people's life not just the person involved but the family.

This can affect the driver or passengers in the car because there are cases where people get paralyzed or brain damage or even worse die in car accidents. That can ruin the rest of their life plan. This can also ruin some families lives by having to care for you while you can't for yourself or sometimes the death case they must deal with you not being there the rest of their life. That's why people should not use cell phones while driving.

And this can hurt your life and anyone around you or that knows you. Please don't use a phone and drive I have people I care about on the roads and someone that uses a phone and drives can hurt them on the road and I love them and don't want something to happen to them because someone couldn't put down their phone.

According to strike. au, "Hands-free technology is arguably one of modern day's most convenient inventions. Our phones are such an integral part of our busy lives and going without them for any amount of time can be detrimental to our day-to-day business dealings. Hands-free technology enables us to talk to people without having to touch a button. Modern day Bluetooth hands-free devices often operate on voice control alone which means that we don't even have to touch a button. Voice control limits distraction and subsequently limits the dangers associated with touching phones when driving." From this evidence you can understand that Hands-free technology is the resolution to the problem of texting and driving. With its voice recognition tech you can easily send a text without any distraction keeping your eyes away from the road.

Nowadays, most people have a cell phone and use them in everyday life. People own cars as well. Imagine mixing the two, phones and cars, using the mobile devices while driving. That doesn't seem so smart but most people do it anyways and it's very dangerous. "Why is it dangerous?" you may be thinking. Maybe you're just changing the song playing because it's an annoying one that just started and you don't liked it, maybe someone texted you, maybe your mom is calling you. As simple as changing the song, texting back, or talking to someone on the phone sounds, it's very dangerous. Doing so is known for causing most car accidents today, if the impact is bad then it could lead to death.

As bad as it already is, yes, hundreds and thousands of people still do it every single day. Maybe the person doing so didn't get pulled over or didn't get in a car accident, but one never knows when that is going to happen. That day can happen sometime today, or tomorrow, or sometime next week. Whether one is bored in traffic, it's still not a good idea to be using the phone.

A Bluetooth is a source of operating a connection between anything, in a vehicle, most people use the connection for their phones so they can drive without touching their phone so they don't have to let go of the steering wheel. Having a Bluetooth is a very helpful and beneficial device to have inside a vehicle.

If one is using their phone for directions to a place then that should be okay. They don't have to be holding their phone as well which is even better. The person with their GPS on, can purchase a phone stand or phone holder that they can install inside of their vehicle. The benefit of having this is that it's both safe, and affordable. With the stand/holder being safe, no phone has to be held with one hand and the other on the steering wheel. One will just have to glance at it for a second or two so they're aware of where they're going. As well as being affordable, it won't hurt purchasing one from your nearest store, it's found inside many stores and pharmacies. Some cars nowadays come with a Bluetooth installed already in the car, so if one's car has it or not, there should be a consideration in purchasing one.

If you get caught while using a cellphone you will get a warning and if they catch you again then you get a ticket . Texting while driving is banned for people younger than 18 because us teens do not know how to keep our eyes on the road because we be in our phones and on social media. When we be in our phones we be distracted and not paying attention to the road we miss a light or we pass a stop sign . they should ban texting while driving but not having a cellphone while driving you need a phone on you because if you get into an accident you would need to call the police. Texting while driving is a bad habit that most people have when their phone ding they think there supposed to reply back to a message when there actually putting there self in danger and the person behind ,front and the side of them.

All lives matter you shouldn't want to end someone else life because your making a dumb decision by having your phone out while driving. just like drinking and driving isnt safe texting a driving isnt either you shouldnt do neither. They made it illegal just because of these reasons you can crash you can kill somebody anything can happen when taking your eyes off the road

"In 2015, there were 3,477 people killed and an estimated additional 391,000 injured in crashes involving distracted drivers." This shows that car accidents are now a more commonly known way people die. Usually, a car accident only involves 3 or 4 people are involved so if the number of killed and injured are so high then that shows that the number of car accidents is also high. That shows that people can't be on their phones and driving.

Driving and usage of phones do cause accidents; it could also cause the driver to run over people.

"A staggering 37,461 people were killed on US roads in 2016, an increase of 5.6 percent from the previous year, according to just-released statistics from the US National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration." All of these accidents have occurred ever since phones came out and that's because we all think we are able to multitask. When it comes to driving we need all of our attention on it and not anywhere else because then we don't see people crossing the road. All these deaths are being cause by the fact that we can't leave our phones until we get to our destination.

After many years of distracted driving the US is finally doing something about it, they instated a law that if you are caught using your phone or it's just in your lap you'll be fined.
