Cell Phones

We humans have are cell phones on the daily even in a car while driving. I feel like we should not have are cell phones while driving because it increases the risk of you crashing, puts the people around you in danger and it makes your reaction time slower.

Driving with a cell phone in your hand increases the risk of you having a car accident. In 2015, six hundred and sixty thousand drivers in the United States were estimated to use cell phones each day while driving behind the wheel during daylight hours. Drivers who text while behind the wheel, are twenty-three times more likely to have an automobile crash. The yearly car accidents that happen every year is 1.6 million cars a year.

Not only does texting and driving puts your own life at risk, but it also gravely endangers the lives of other people around you. As a driver, you are responsible not only for the passengers in your car, but also for other motorists on the road, not to mention pedestrians who often end up hurt or killed because of the negligence of drivers.

Using your cell phone while driving dramatically slows down your reaction time. Shown in a study texting while driving delays reaction times by 37%, while drinking to the legal limit delays reaction times by 13%. Making driving with a cell phone more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol.

In conclusion driving with a cell phone is a really bad idea it increases the chance of you crashing, putting others around you in danger and slows your reaction time.
