Cell Phones While Driving

Most People, not if all have cell phones in today's society. Cell phones have not been around for a very long time but they are a key part of our lives. We use cell phones for everything we do day to day such as Texting, Talking, Gaming. Although cell phones have not been around for a very long time, they have become a key part of our lives. Cell phones help effectively and without wasting any time in making direct contact with the person.

It is observed that the use of mobile phones during driving, despite an effective means of communication, contributes to an interruption of the driver's attention which increases issues concerning road safety. Drivers that use cell phones could never pay full attention to roads that expose not only themselves but also other people on the road. The research team's results showed that the use of cell phones makes drivers quite exposed to serious crashes while driving. The driver's main emphasis is not on the road or traffic, and even at one time trying to handle the phone and vehicle becomes difficult. During driving, cell phones also reduce drivers' mental capacity, as they fail to focus on minor or major activities that occur around them. Drivers that use cell phones respond slowly and very often make wrong decisions that can trigger fatal accidents affecting other passenger cars. Driving decision making is a vital factor in giving drivers a split second to make a fast decision.

Although there are serious negative impacts of using cell phones while driving, it is also relevant to present advantages for the sake of arguments. The security factor is again the most important benefit of cell phones during driving. Cell phones can provide help during emergencies and drivers can make emergency calls, even reporting any hazardous scenarios such as roadside accidents. A driver can locate the desired route via cell phones. Besides, any use of FMs on cellular phones may provide weather and traffic information. Cell phones help effectively and without wasting any time in making direct contact with the person. There are other ways to distract a driver than cell phones such as talking to passengers, cigarette lighting and smoking, eating, drinking, emergencies presented justifications from both sides of an issue using cell phones during driving, and not using them.

The paper raised points on both sides of the issue using mobile phones while driving, or not using them. I proposed that using cell phones is very dangerous while driving a vehicle because they cause you to lose your distraction while driving and they can cause a serious accident. But as well as that they are good for emergency purposes.
