Using a cellphone while driving coincides with the idea of distracted driving. Many teens and adults feel the need to be on their phones while driving but this poses a large threat to innocent people driving on the road. Distracted driving has been considered by many as an epidemic that is entirely preventable but hasn't yet been prevented. Though many states have passed a law criminalizing distracted driving, it still remains a large problem within the United States in itself.
