Technology has not only supplied us with ways of getting information in a timely manor, but created the burden of constant distraction to all who use its benefits. In some states it is illegal to drive while using a hand held cell phone; not only do I agree with this law but I think it is of the up most importance. Driving with a cell phone causes hazards such as: accidents involving the driver and others, continuing a constant state distraction, and even ruining ones life.

According to the CIA World Fact-Book, between the years of 2009 through 2013 there are over an estimate of 6 billion mobile phones in use worldwide. In the United States there are approximately 310 million mobile phones in use and that number will continue to increase in the coming years (CIA World Fact-Book). Cellphones may be a major part of our lives, however they pose a danger to us because they can be a major distraction, especially when an individual is driving. This why I believe that the use of mobile phones while driving should be banned.

Cell phones got really important in the last years, but it also changes our society. The impact of texting and cell phones is more important than you think and especially when it effects our security.

When you have something important to tell someone and cannot wait you get so excited and don’t pay attention to other things like driving. And the most times those things are just little unimportant things. More and more people died because of texting while driving and their personality safety is more in danger. Deaths from texting while driving increased from 28% from 1999 to 2005. (Vitelli)

According to the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, “Over 254 million people subscribed to such wireless communication devices as cell phones as of February 2008, compared with approximately 4.3 million in 1990 in the United States” this shows that there is a dependence for cell phone and that mean that the phones are being used in operating a vehicle. Using the cell phone is not the most dangerous thing relating to cars but it’s the most frequent with accidents and so on. New York’s 2001 law stating that hand held cell phones are illegal when driving hasn’t really made a difference because or the frequency of accidents. People do get absorbed into the conversation and take their mind off the road. “A survey of dangerous driver behavior was released in January 2007 by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. The survey of 1,200 drivers found that 73 percent talk on cell phones while driving. Cell phone use was highest among young drivers. (Doc. 2)”

Well that question was answered by the NHTSA, the report concluded the number of drivers using their cells phones on any giving day is at least 800,000. Lives of drivers and passengers are at danger for every second a driver’s eyes are not on the road; even for a split second the results could be devastating.
