Pros And Cons Of Texting While Driving

For example, one day I was driving with my sister and she was sitting in the back seat of the car. Suddenly I got a message and I just ignored it, after awhile I got a new message too. I grabbed my phone to check them and then I started reading them. I forgot about driving and all my focus was on the text that was on my cellular.

Teen driving is a very debated topic as of late. According to the IIHS, “Crashes are the leading cause of death among American teens, more than ⅓ of all deaths of 16-18 year olds”. I am a teen driver myself and I always hear my parents telling me to “be careful”, “no texting”, and “watch the road”. I currently only have one speeding ticket and zero accidents under my belt so far, so I’d like to think that I am a good driver. Yes, I know teen drivers who are downright awful, but I also a lot of great teen drivers who take every precaution.

Some teens may be careless when it comes to driving but others are very safe and responsible. If you raise the driving age it would just take the excitement out of someone who is eager to do things on their own. The rule would leave a lot of people stuck in the house instead of enjoying life and experiencing new opportunities. I would hate to not be able to go anywhere because I couldn 't drive myself or nobody would be able to take me. With that being said, the state legislature should not pass the rule of raising the driving age from 16 to 18 years of age.

Some might say our state does enough to prevent distracted driving because the no texting while driving law. Oklahoma does not do enough to prevent distracted driving by police not

Speeding is a thing many people do, but it is not always with wrong intentions if someone does it. People can speed for a variety of reasons other than just to get to work faster or to have a street race. If a woman is pregnant, and the couple had happened to be in a situation where they could not call an ambulance when labor had started, they would generally speed their way to the nearest hospital, but if they had been stopped for a speeding ticket, that would cause some horrible outcomes. The author also says that laws such as “noise pollution” are frequently ignored. The problem with this one is self-centered teenagers that only care about having a good time and do not care for common decency, however, these problems are tackled as well.

The Legal Concept The laws defining broken windshields, what constitutes one, and how much a person pays is mostly decided by the state. For example, Florida law states that a windshield needs repair if a dollar bill won't cover the damages, if there are more than three chips, and if the chip is in the line of site of the driver or at the edge of the windshield. Colorado law, the state in which this story occurred, has no special provisions on windshield and windshield repairs. As a result, the decision to ticket for one is largely at the discretion of the officer. This means the ticket would probably be difficult for the man to dispute.

When using foreshadowing it adds lots of suspense and builds anticipation to what might happen next. This then grabs the reader and makes the audience much more interested in the novel. In the novel by Morgan Madson I suspect that she is foreshadowing towards the point that Amy was in the car accident and was the only one who saw her dad seconds before her dad died. The hints that she gives are like that Amy doesn’t drive since the day her dad died in a car accident. Also she keeps thinking her mom doesn’t like her because of what happened with her dad.

They propose to instead focus on treatment for the mentally ill. That is like saying cars do not kill people, mentally ill people operating them do; so limiting those who drive, where they drive, what they drive and how they drive is pointless. It does not make sense to allow almost anyone to buy assault weapons without restrictions. Everything needs limits, including constitutional rights; and the fix for tragedies does not lie solely in mental health

Teenagers pose the biggest threat because they are constantly on their phones believing they can simultaneously text and drive. Statistics prove that eight of every ten texting accidents is caused by a teen driver. Making it illegal to use phones when driving would initially decrease this problem. Answering phone calls while driving is just as terrible if not worse than texting. Maybe when talking on the phone you 're still able to watch the road, but your focus is on who is talking to and what they 're talking about.

Every time you are driving a vehicle and you receive a test this app will automatically respond to the text saying that your are busy driving and can not respond at the moment. (CBS.) Texting and driving is a very serious problem in America. It is the leading cause of deaths among teenagers. “At any given daylight moment across America , approximately six hundred thousand drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving.”

If the worst were to happen and someone was to die because of your actions you would have to live with that your entire life. It is very important to keep your eye on the road at all times so that car accidents are less likely to happen and save you and the people around you from getting injured. I think that it would be the smartest and safest decision for every state to make using an handheld cell phone while driving illegal so you do not run any risk. If you do not have your phone while driving you are more likely to not be as distracted, and to stay focused on the road.

In the US the increase of vehicular accidents in young drivers (15-20) over the last few years is leading many people to consider raising the legal driving age. The teen driving age should not be raised, because learning to drive instills responsibility and gives necessary life experience to teens. teens who learned to drive at 16 do better after high school weather it be in college, military or a civilian job. In 2008 alone there was 195 fatality 's from vehicular accidents with young drivers at the wheel just in Florida. Raising the driving age goes against the first amendment, the first amendment is all about freedom and liberty including several basic liberties — freedom of religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly, driving is a way

Some teenage drivers think that only texting is a distraction and talking on the phone isn’t. Those teenagers are sorely mistaken because according to The AAA Guide to Teen Driver Safety, “Talking on a cell phone can double the chance for an accident.” While teenagers may have their eyes on the road while talking on a phone, they do not however have their hands on the wheel. If a teenager is driving and needs talk on the phone or text someone back, the driver should pull over on the side of the road.
