    Every time you look down at your phone, your eyes are off the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. That is plenty of time for a crash to happen. Texting while driving is severely dangerous on the road while operating a vehicle. Texting while driving interrupts it cognitively as you think about the texting message instead of on the road. It interrupts it manually as your fingers type the message back to another person. It interrupts it visually as you look down at your phone. All of these are reasons why texting while driving should be illegal in every state. The government has started to realize that texting while driving is starting to become a nationwide problem. People do not need to communicate every second, every minute, and every hour of everyday. There are so many sad stories about texting while driving. A lot of innocent people are dying each day because of their actions or because of others and that should not be happening. Texting while driving is not worth killing or dying over! Texting while driving can and needs to wait until it is safe to do so. Don’t just think about yourself, think about all the other people who are operating a vehicle. Be responsible when driving and pay attention to every detail and most importantly, stay off your…

    State, Federal, and local lawmakers have placed laws into effect to ban the use of cell phones while driving.

Here are some solutions we can try: (1) Create cars that block texting while the vehicle is running. (2) Use technology such as Bluetooth headsets. The other solution would be like DWI’s, after the 2nd offense, suspension of driving privileges. With teenagers being the biggest offenders of texting while driving, we need to get their attention and help them understand the important issues at hand, “texting and driving takes lives.…
