text: Another reason why people should not be able to use their phones while driving is because it could cost you. In the passage "7 Reasons To Top Texting And Driving" by Gabi Levey it states how "fines and punishments for texting and driving range greatly depending on the state that you live in; for some states, the fine is merely $20, however, in others, it can be up to $500"(8). Which means that if someone were to get caught using their phone while driving, they would have to pay at least twenty dollars or even five hundred dollars for their fine. It also states in that same passage that "if the action of texting and driving ends in injuring any other individuals, you can actually end up in jail, depending on the severity of the injury"(Levey 8). Which means that if someone were to get caught texting and driving will possibly go to jail. Any action that a person decides to do with their phone while driving will cost them.
