text: Another reason is that you could possibly kill someone with your vehicle due to not being focused on where you are going. You could swerve in a different lane unintentionally and hit another driver, causing them to possibly spin out of control, or drive into a wall or tree. The best thing to do is to turn your phone off while operating a car just so you can focus on your next destination. It doesn't matter how much experience you have. Accidents happen when you least expect it.
