“Cell Phones and Driving”
Imagine yourself driving along the highway. One man in the car to your right is weaving, swerving and moving his hands wildly. He doesn’t even pay attention on the road. Drunk? He is not drunk, he is using his cell phone. Cell phones have become as standard as a pen in modern society. There are more than 50,000,000 Americans who own cell phones. Many of these people are equipped with cell phones, some for emergencies and others for their businesses. One thing is certain though: Most of them will use their cell phone at one time or another in their daily lives.
It may seem like something you haven’t considered, but talking on your cell phone while driving can put you at serious risk of injury and death. Even worse, many people who use their cell phones while driving can also talk with their hands. This can lead to people crashing into cars and swerving into other lanes. Drivers may be more at risk if they use cell phones to communicate. Cellular phones distract drivers from driving, making it harder to judge safe stopping distances, avoid dangers and choose when to cross into traffic. As a society, we must recognize this problem. Your life could be ended if you choose to use your phone while driving. You must be aware that cell phones and cars are dangerous if you use them while driving.
These are some simple steps to help you get used to your phone. Use the hands free function to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Keep checking your mirrors once a second while you talk. If necessary, stop and look at your mirrors.
These tips can be used to reduce the number of accidents related to cell phones.
My opinion is that there is a significant difference between driving with a phone and using it for emergency purposes. It is important to know that emergency-prepared drivers have one in case of an emergency. Drivers who use cell phones while driving can be put in dangerous situations by those who do.
