Cell Phones
Do you have a cell phone? Well, to the many who do, it is a way of communication in a car. Cell phones have been known to distract the driver from concentrating on the road. But is it really worth banning?
A majority of the nation agrees to ban cell phones in the use by the driver. Our nation is based on a democracy and if the people want cell phones banned, it should be outlawed.

Truckers and police officers hardly ever get into accidents because of distraction of CB radios unlike the use of cell phones by civilians. Also, if having dogs stick their heads out the window is a distraction, then roll up the window. There are many distractions while
