Should Cell Phone Use While Driving Be Banned?

During your next car ride, pay attention to how many drivers you see talking on a cell phone. I guarantee that what you see will disturb you. An article in CQ Researcher states, "more than 111 million Americans use mobile phones—more than one-third of the population." These occupied drivers are increasing their risks of crashing at least six- to nine-fold. Numerous accidents have caused Americans to wonder, "Should talking on a cell phone while driving be banned?" In order to decrease the number of car accidents in America, people need to stop talking on their phones while driving.

According to Newsweek, collision rates for drivers using hand-held cell phones match the rates for impaired drivers. Holding a cell phone, having a conversation, steering a wheel, and concentrating on a road are too many tasks to juggle. A driver needs to fully concentrate on the road and prepare for obstacles such as pedestrians or sudden traffic. In 2016, a motorist talking on a cell phone ran through a red light into a busy intersection. Her mistake forced a dump truck to swerve and topple over into traffic, causing a 10-car pileup. A study conducted by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society found that "cell phone distraction causes more than 330,000 injuries in the United States every year." If only those drivers had parked or waited to make those calls, thousands of people would have avoided a dangerous situation like the dump truck incident. In order to help eliminate these accidents, laws need to be enacted and enforced.

Handling a cell phone while driving has proven to be increasingly dangerous, yet people continue to do it. The government needs to get involved. The fear of receiving an outrageous fine will force people to stop talking on a cell phone while driving. "If the government sees the need to make more stringent efforts and issue more tickets [for distracted cell phone driving], we will. We did it for seatbelts, and no one thought it was important. But it saved lives," says Brian Walsh, a police official. Concentrating on the road is just as important as wearing a seatbelt. More Americans are realizing this important fact. Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia have already banned cell phone use while driving. The rest of the country, however, still needs convincing. Some foolish people still oppose these laws.

Jim Wolf believes that if the government bans talking on a cell phone while driving, they should ban changing radio stations, drinking a soda, and eating while driving as well. "Distraction is a serious concern, but I don't think it's substantially changed because of the cell phone," comments Jim. The research of Dr. David Strayer, a professor at the University of Utah, proves Jim wrong. According to him, "carrying on a conversation requires much more attention than passively listening to the radio or sipping a soda." It is a far more interactive activity and takes a lot more time. In Michigan alone, cellular phones contributed to 879 accidents in 2003; this proves that cell phones are a substantially great distraction on the road.

Banning cell phone use while driving will save lives and reduce the number of accidents in this country. That is what matters. Australia, China, Kenya, Russia, and many other countries have already realized this. When will America?

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

many professional athlete and entertainers earn large sums of money. do you agree or disagree with these individuals making high salaries?

Entertainers continue to be admired and supported by the media, they get paid in high amounts. A debate has sprouted, this of which is if these athletes and entertainers should get paid as much as they do.
There are multiple reasons why they shouldn’t get to rule over everyone, anyone may have these talents and they could be even better, there are way more important jobs, and not everyone is who they seem to be.

There are people you pass in the streets or maybe in your hallways, that have the potential to be an amazing entertainer but will never get the chance. These entertainers will take your money and never feel bad, hence why their merchandise is expensive. We feed them constantly, they don’t even have to have a personality or to be that good at football, just as long as they flash a toothy grin.


The individuals that you love and support aren’t always good people. Many artists have been exposed for horrible activities, things they said in the past or present. Their actions don’t go unreviewed, that is of course if you admire them. Your admiration shields your brain from this information, you don’t want to believe that they are bad people. Even if they haven't been canceled that just means they are wearing a mask, you don’t know them, they see us as just a number.

How do you even know of these people? The internet is produced by electricians, they give you so many things its why your food stays good, why you can use your lights. That seems pretty important to me, but no, the untalented get more. What about doctors, they only get paid 73,000 a year while influencers get paid 250,000. Social media is not a life or death job, doctors have that job though. They make sure you are healthy, and save you.

When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house
broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass,
with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same
gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the
house was as dull and gray as everything else.
