Audra driving and texting

I am torn between the use of cell phones when it comes to the use of them and driving. In some ways cell phones can be used for important things while driving. Things like if you get lost you can call someone, or if there is an emergency and someone has to get a hold of you. There are many reasons that we need cell phones especially while we drive but they also cause accidents as well. Cell phones can be a distraction, to people that are driving. People on their phones seem to concentrate more on the conversation they are having other than where they are driving. Although talking while driving is a huge issue there is a new issue arising. Texting is the newest distraction while driving. Mostly teens and young adults are the guilty ones in this case. While people who are behind the wheel and texting at the same time don’t see it as a big deal others do. The people doing these things don’t realize that what they are doing can affect everyone else around them. Even if you were to only take your eyes off the road for a little while there could be serious consequences. People don’t seem to realize a thing like that till they ram into the back of another person or they are being sent to the hospital because they went off the road and crashed their car. I don’t think that cell phones should be band or anything like that. I think that people should learn when it is okay to text and when it is not okay. For instance, while stopped at a stoplight would be an appropriate time to send a text of when stopped completely. It is not a good idea to send a text while cruising down the highway or interstate. I think people should learn to use their cell phones at convenient times. But I do not feel that they should be banned.
