text: According to a recent study, cellphone bans are not effective in stopping accidents as a result of distracted driving. The study concluded that frequent cellphone users were more likely to participate in risky behaviour regardless if they were making use of a cell phone while driving (Morton). Later in the article, it is mentioned that regulation on cell phone use is reasonable as long as it is enforcement properly. Unsafe driving behaviour is reduced as a result and this could potentially save lives. Even if the impact of a cell phone ban would be small, it's still there, and that matters because those lives do matter.
