text: Nowadays some people do not like to talk on the cell phone but instead send text messages or self-gratification such as pictures and videos while driving. Texting and driving have been a leading cause of car crashes, bodily injury, and even deaths. The reasons why people should not use cell phones while driving is because you are not in control or fully focused and you are more likely to get in a car crash and most likely be at fault for it. It is one of the leading causes of deaths on the highway, and it is also illegal to use phones while driving now.
