When I’m behind the wheel, the kind of driving is annoying and somewhat scary. And I’m sure you feel the same way. But to tell you the truth, that’s exactly how you look when you use your phone while driving.
Driving is a dangerous activity. We are basically driving huge pieces of metal filled with combustible liquid. Not only that, at any given moment on the road, we are required to make split second decisions that could be the difference between life and death. And it’s very hard to make appropriate split-second decisions when you are staring at your phone

  • What Are The Arguments Against Distracted Driving

    595 Words  | 3 Pages

    While distracted driving is a big issue in the United States, I firmly believe that the use of smartphones is one of, if not, the largest distractions Americans face today while driving. It seems that for some reason people can not wait until they are done driving, to wherever it is they are headed, to check their phone.

There are a few things that could be implemented that could persuade people to resist the urge to check their phones while driving such as banning the use of cellular devices in vehicles all together, fixing vehicles so that they cannot emit WiFi anymore, also implementing a device in vehicles that could make the inside of a vehicle a dead zone. First of all banning the use of cell phones in vehicles could be a very tricky stunt to pull off.

For instance, many smartphones have a driving mode where interactive features and the utilities of the phone are limited when it senses that it is in a moving vehicle. While this solution has ways to bypass it, such as being able to disengage driving mode, they at least serve to make an individual more cognizant of their usage of technology while driving. Further, this idea offers more potential resources that have not yet been broadly pursued.
