Texting and talking on the phone throughout the time that a person is driving can have deadly consequences, but people still don’t seem to want to give up risking their life.

Well driving is all those thing put together and to add a phone to the mix is to many things for a single person to concentrate on. Some state have made it illegal for people to drive while using a hand held device and, I believe that is the right decision because while people are on their phones while driving they can: run into other car or hit pedestrians. Have you ever seen a car that's run a stop sign or light? Chances are you have and some of those times people are running late for something and don't notice it but i bet most times its because a person was too busy talking on their phone or even texting.

Although cellphones play a significant role in our society, the hazards they present should be taken further into consideration when getting behind

The changes in regulations and rules in the United States are not the same of using the mobile phones while driving. Each state must come up with strict guidelines for the use of cell phones while driving. When you don’t pay attention while you are driving, you know anything can happen at any time.

Driving is a luxury that we all have in this world. We all take the steps to be safe by following the rules and keeping others safe on the road. Using a phone while driving is not a safe task to do as it will harm others. I agree to make driving while using a phone illegal because it will prevent accidents, give other people on the road a sense of safety, and prevent bad habits from being taught to children of bad drivers.

When you drive to work, school, or even to run errands, how many people do you see on their phones while driving? The answer to this question can be quite scary. Cell phones are used by nearly everyone at any given time. The use of cell phones has grown tremendously throughout the past couple of years. People will use them at any time, even while they’re driving. This can put not only that person in danger, but everyone around them as well.

Although some may disagree, I agree with the state law that using a handheld cell phone while driving should be illegal because it distracts drivers from focusing on their surroundings, potentially causing a fatal crash. Drivers should be attentive to what's going on in the busy street around them rather than their cell phones. Distracted driving has caused many deaths and injuries according to News Channel 3.

One argument I have seen is that making cellphone use while driving illegal will make the roads safer because, it removes the distraction. Though I can see the rationale I disagree with that sentiment. making cell phone use illegal just allows for other distractions. one example is "rubbernecking" this is when a driver in one lane is focused too much on what is happening in another lane, which can also cause accidents. implementing the Law Banning cellphone use will not completely get rid of of accidents caused by this there are other causes of car accident than using a cell phone while driving. Drinking while driving is another cause for car accidents and is more common. There is even a law banning drinking and driving in most states yet there continue to be accidents caused by drinking and driving, why cant we assume the same for using cell phones. Making cell phone use illegal will not solve the problem just like it did not for drinking and driving. In conclusion making cellphone use while driving illegal, will not help the problem. I believe frankly there are just more efficient ways of dealing with the problem. we can solve it in different ways; coming up with new ways to combat it. There are also many dimensions to this problem

A huge number of accidents caused by talking on a cell phone. During the last 5 years texting has become insanely popular. It’s a great and convenient tool because people don’t have to call person to just say ‘ok’ on that dinner invitation.

Unfortunately, even with traffic police enforcing those ‘no cellphone’ laws, individuals still neglect those simple safety concerns. People need to start understanding themselves how dangerous it is.
