text: Although laws have been put into place to try and prevent the usage of a cellphone when driving, sadly, there are still people who don't feel the need to abide by these rules. Which is why the punishments for breaking such laws should be highly enforced and more drastic. Examples of this would be increasing fines, harsher warnings, or longer time served in jail. When people driving are distracted by their cellphone, they are not only putting their life in danger, but also everybody`s around them. In the United States, one out of every four car accidents are caused by texting while driving. Something needs to be done.
