No phones, Safer Roads

Many people talk on the phone while driving even though it’s against the law, and dangerous. Many states had forbided the use of holding and using your cell phones while driving. According to NTSB, research shows that talking on your phone while driving is distracting and risky. Also, it was found that drivers are more likely to get into an accident while using phone and driving. I don’t think people should talk on the phone at all while driving because it can be a big hazard. People are addicted to their cell phones; they might not be looking where they’re driving and just crash. I agree with states prohibiting the use of handheld cell phones while driving because many people can die from that. When I was in a car with my friend Aunt, she was trying to text while driving and I was scared because the car was kind of swerving to the side. That was dangerous because I felt as though we were going to get into a car accident. Only 10 states including D.C and Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones when driving. I don’t think that’s enough and more states need to prohibit it to. Many people can die and be killed doing that and in the states where it has not prohibited from all drivers will still do it even though it’s dangerous and risky. According to NTSB, people using handheld phones while driving are 4 times more likely to be in a car accident than without the use of cell phones.
