Why does one think it's so important to risk their life and others just to send a text message that says, hey! Texting and driving has become yet another not needed action well behind the wheel. Texting is the newest and most popular form of communication for the past few years. Maybe the more one knows about the actual facts and statistics of accidents caused by texting well driving. Hopefully then the next person who decides to text and drive will think more than once about what they are doing.
Most teens today have said the texting is their number one distraction well driving. Just that sentence alone should make one think twice about doing so! Is it really a smart decision when most of teens seem to know that texting is not safe to do well you are driving, but they still do it. How is it possible to stop this growing epidemic? Texting is just another thing that needs to have a punishment also if caught doing so behind the wheel. Drinking and driving is illegal because it endangers yourself and others. Texing well driving should be made illegal to because it endangers yourself and others. For that one split second one decides to look down for one little text could mean the end for someone else on the road. Maybe what it takes for someone to truely understand the dangers they need to experience a close call, or read first hand a disturbing story of what happens!
According to "ABC" News a local bus driver was caught texting well he was driving a bus full of innocent children. While he was texting he lost control of the bus! Since this bus driver decided not to think about the safety of others he ended up injuring 30 children, severing the hand of one of the young children. Another young man recalled a time when he killed a bicyclist on the road because he was texting while driving. Now this man is educating teens of the dangers of texting. After reading this story one hopes that it will stop any oneself from picking up the phone and texting while they are driving. Is a simple text message that important to where we need to put innocent lives in danger! It may be time to get others involved and taking this growing problem to the state.
The process to ban texting while driving will be a long one. Not everyone in the legislature is against emailing and texting while driving. Now cell phone companies are warning cell phone users of the danger of texting well driving. These companies believe educating people is better then creating new laws to ban texting. After innocent lives are lost consistently because of the act of texting behind the wheel should start the push of laws to ban texting. Educating is not always good enough! Everyone knows not to drink and drive and the dangers of it, but they still do it! Everyone is realizing that texting is dangerous too, but yet they have yet to stop doing so. There are so many distraction that are unhelpful while you drive. Texting is just another distraction to slow your reaction time on the road. The less reaction time the more over correcting, and the more accidents.
This may influence one not to text, or hopefully influence one to want to know more about texting while driving. Accidents happen all the time but it's not necessary to add one more factor to keep us from focusing on the road. Just because you know that it's not right to text while driving does not make it any better, it only makes it worse that you are willing to endanger someone else. Educating everyone about texting while driving can only be taken so far. Now it has come to the point where we all need to take part to ban the texting and driving.
