Cell Phones Can Be Dangerous

Driving can be very dangerous on its own without distractions but when you add driving while using a cell phone in the mix you have the perfect ingredients for a disaster. I believe cell phones are very dangerous while driving by using them for voice and especially texting and should be banned. Some reasons I believe this is when a driver is talking on the phone they are focusing more on the conversation than driving. The second reason is when your texting you are looking down and also not focusing on the road. Lastly cell phones are basically mini computers now and if a driver receives an email and believes that they must answer the email at that time can also cause an accident because they are not focused on the road.
In the following pages I will show the opposing side which is for the people who think it is fine to drive while using their cell phone. Then I will talk about the support why I believe it is very dangerous to use a cell phone and drive a vehicle.
Using a cell phone and driving has become a controversial issue. Most drivers do feel that it is dangerous along with me. The following few paragraphs are about the opposition side and people who believe it is ok to use a cell phone and drive. First, to support the opposition is about drivers who do believe cell phones are part of life and cannot live without them while driving. In the debate many drivers argue that driving while using a cell phone is no different than eating and driving or talking to a passenger. One guy explains while he was driving he seen a guy trying to eat a messy chili dog and his argument was that he was talking hands free trying to be safe. Even though I do believe it is not safe to drive and use the phone I see this guy’s point what happens when he drops the chili dog and there is a distraction probably worse than driving hands free. Another driver says she only texts at stop lights and how is she really going to cause a wreck. Again this point is very hard to argue with
