Using Cell Phones while Driving should be Banned
Maheshwari and D’Souza (2013) reported that around mid-September in the year 2008 during the evening rush hour in Chatsworth, California, a commuter train collided with a locomotive, and this crash led to the death of twenty-five persons and 135 others were injured. Mobile phone records indicated that at the time of the crash, the train engineer was receiving and sending text messages. Moreover, on 5th August 2010 in the state of Missouri, a 19-year old truck driver involved in a fatal accident on a highway received and sent 11 text messages within the 11 minutes prior to the accident (Maheshwari & D’Souza, 2013). Thesis: Using a cell phone for instance making a call, texting or checking for direction on the map while driving causes accidents primarily because it is distracting. Many have been killed as a consequence of this. Instead, one can use a hands free device, as this would make it less distracting. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would cut the number of traffic crashes and save many people’s lives.
Using cell phones while driving causes distraction. In 2011, 10 percent of drivers below the age of 20 years who were involved in car accidents were reported as having been distracted due to texting while driving (Maheshwari & D’Souza, 2013). In the same year, more that 3,300 fatalities on roads in the United States were brought about by drivers who were distracted, and cell phones were identified as a major cause of distraction (Panetta, 2013). Therefore, this needless loss of precious lives could be minimized through effective legislation that bans the use of mobile pones while driving. Drivers who use mobile phones, according to studies, are 4 times more likely to be involved in road accident...
