However, two weeks later, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, said he would not endorse a ban. His justification was simply that hands free cell phone use was “not the big problem in America”. This is not an acceptable government response. The use of cell phones and texting devices is known to be dangerous both through anecdotal evidence and hard scientific fact. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association estimates that over 3000 fatalities are caused by distracted driving every year.

If we all take that stand to safety and switch off phones while driving the life saved might be your owe., The main cause of distraction while driving is the use of texting on the cellphones; even though the call or text is essential and the lost of a client or business venture maybe the outcome. The best suggestion would be for the person to get off the main road and find a parking lot or emergency lot, and then check the message, but that will not be followed, so the safes way is to ban cellphones use. In calling for a ban on all use of electronic devices while driving, the NTSB cited a series of fatal accidents in which were deemed distractions. In 2004, a bus driver using his hands-free cellphone struck the underside of an arched stone bridge on the George Washington...

...Why Banning the Use of Cell Phones While Driving Should be Mandatory Nationwide. Cellular phones have served us in many effective ways. They connect people when they are away and need information. They allow us to stay in touch with family and friends. In essence, they keep us communicating. While they are good, they can cause a lot of problems on our roads. Do you believe that using a cell phone while driving causes a driver to be impaired as a driver who is driving under the influence of alcohol? Well, according to research done by psychologists at the University of Utah, “people are as impaired when they drive and talk on a cell phone as they are when they drive intoxicated at a legal blood alcohol limit 0.08 percent, which is the minimum level of an illegal drunken driver in most U.S. states.” Today, more people are being drunken by their cell phones. This impaired driving, according to the psychologists, is also causing a lot of road users to respond slower in many ways than if they were sober. The drivers, they said, take a longer time to hit the brakes, take a slower time to get back to normal speed after breaking and are more capable of being involved in an accident. Can you see the danger in this type of driving? Can you see what could possible happen to pedestrians or other drivers under this type of driving? If as a people we care about our lives as well as the lives of others, then, law makers would enact laws to ban the use of cell phones while driving...

...02-07-2014 I Believe and Persuaded the Use of Cell Phones Should Be Mandatorily Banned Nationwide To Prevent Unnecessary Distractive Driving Banning the use of cell phones should be made mandatory nationwide while driving because it is a one of the nations’ top killers in America. Driving while being distracted kills thousands of people every year. Yet many drivers think they are good at managing both tasks so they continue to text behind the wheel. A car travels approximately 100 yards in less than the 5 seconds it takes to read a text. Texting distracts people from driving properly by diverting their attention to their cell phone, instead of focusing on the road. Furthermore, studies show that texting is as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. Subjects are found to be mentally impaired while driving and chatting on a mobile device as when they are under the influence. These are the top reasons why I believe and am convinced that driving while on a cell phone should be banned in America. Cell Phone Usage as Top Killer in America National statistics show that cell phone usage while driving has become one of the nation’s top killers on our roadways today. According to the Texting and Driving Safety Statistics an average of 1,600,000 accidents are reported each year due to texting while driving. Nearly 25 percent of all accidents nationwide, 11 percent of which are teenagers ages 15-19, occur on a daily basis. (Texting and Driving Safety, 2010) Approximately 3,331...

...Why banning cell phone while driving should be mandatory nationwide My intention for you to take from this speech is to inform you why it is a good idea to banned all cell phone usage while driving. It was normal for people to drive drunk and not bother to wear a seatbelt 50 years ago. Eventually, everyone realized how bad of an idea this was and now driving drunk and not wearing a seatbelt are both illegal. Today, many argue that texting and talking on phones while driving is just as bad, if not worse, than driving drunk. Back in 2006, the University of Utah found that, "... people are as impaired when they drive and talk on a cell phone as they are when they drive intoxicated at the legal blood-alcohol limit" of 0.08 percent, which is the minimum level that defines illegal drunken driving in most U.S. states. Companies like AT&T have created campaigns that encourage cell phone users to avoid texting while driving at all costs. Using a cell phone while driving is now illegal in certain states across the country. "Thirty-eight states have laws restricting or outlawing the use of electronic devices while driving," U.S. Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood said last year. But people still use their cell phones while driving. Image how a two minute conversation on phone while driving could change your life or the life of another. A crash can occur in less than one second, but could affect you or someone else for life. There are a thousand ways to die in a crash,...

...growth in technology and in personal use. Texting has now become the dominant means of communication and actual conversation skills are diminishing. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from cellular devices has become a concern and is being studied from many various angles to determine actual health risks from cell phone use. Whether it is for personal or business use, the cell phone has become a permanent fixture in our lives, could have potential health risks, and can become an addiction if necessary steps are not taken to control use and dependency. Cellular Technology and Society Today At any store they are visible. They have their hand plastered to their ear or they are seemingly talking to no one. These are the cellphone users. Hayley Tsukayama, a writer for the Washington post asserts that according to the Pew Internet and Life Project only seventeen percent of Americans still have a land line and ninety percent own a cellphone. (Tsukayama, 2014) The largest contributor to this trend is convenience. Most cellular devices are small and easily portable, allowing the user to move around freely. The ability to be in contact on the road, at work, or out having fun has pushed the trend that the American consumer is converting to cellular devices. Adding to this trend is the ability of cellular devices to do more than just make a call. “Cell phones are not just about calling or texting – with expanding functionality, phones have become multimedia recording devices...
