Texting Ban

.1) Write a short response to the above statement on how you feel about the ban. Do you agree with it or not and why. Also, do you think their should be an age limitation on the ban ?

I personally agree that texting should be banned while driving. I feel as though teenagers and adults have time aside to do their texting during the day that they should not be texting while they are driving. Driving is a big responsibility to up hold ( thats why they have us take road test ) to see if we are capable of driving. Knowing that we have this test of course no one is gonna text and drive but i guarentee that if everyone who texts and drive that maybe 2 out of every 10 people would get their license because the instructors would fail them. Even though you get those people who master texting while driving, its still unsafe either way you look at it. Also, I think that their should be no limitation on the age of text it doesnt matter if your an adult or child, you still with get distracted from the text messages. And adults should know better than to be a infulence to teenagers and show them its okay to drive like that. I also think that it doesnt matter on the amount of experience that you have driving either because one text message that could make you really upset or mad, can lead into a car accident.









2) How does this connect to the article on cell phone use and the comparison to driving under the influence?



This is connected to the article on cellphone use and the comparison to driving under the influence by showing us that there are other distractions to driving. I think that they actions people do such as slugging, driving slow, not having as fast of refelexes as you would if you were paying attention are all similar. And if in the article they show that talking on the cell phone causes more accidents, than it would surely be texting to be the number one trigger for accidents because you have people reading their cellphones other than the road
