Should Walkers Use Common Sense

It should be against the law to use iPods and cell phones while walking. Some walkers are getting hurt, and the law would protect one from danger. “I see people not paying attention, and it’s a danger,” says Ann Kobayoshi, a lawmaker in Hawaii. When a careless walker causes an accident, other people can get hurt too. It has been found that last year, the number of people killed in accidents while walking went up. Some argue that phones and iPods rarely cause problems, and that walkers should just use common sense. The issue is not so much a question of using common sense, but a question of not being able to hear what is happening around oneself. There should be laws against walking with headphones on because it is dangerous to the walker
