text: Distractions lead to mishaps happening more often increasing the risk of injury to oneself and others around them. Many people use their cell phones while driving. In fact, "1 out of 3 people text while driving" and "texting while driving increases the risk of crashing by 23 times" (NHTSA, 2019). Sometimes drivers get distracted but, "the maximum amount of time a driver can safely divert their attention from the road from is two seconds, it takes a driver five seconds - on average - to send a text message" and "82% of American teens have a cell phone. 52% of these teens note that they talk on the phone while driving and 32% text on the road" (TeenSafe, 2019). Everyday there is an accident and everyday "11 teens die in crashes caused by texting and driving" (TeenSafe, 2019). This loss of life can be avoided if there are regulations limiting the usage of cell phones.
