text: ? My last reason is that you can also harm someone else by being on your phone and not being aware. You can end up running into someone's car and hurting them really bad or even worse. That person can be harmed really bad and you might not be but that other person is. Then you have to explain why you got into that car accident and you don't know what to say because you were on your phone. Or even worse you might end up killing the person that you hit because you weren't paying attention because of a text message.
